March 2016 Portraits

[EdSawyer]

I made a DIY hood for my Pentac out of a round plastic container and some black flocking paper. Works great. The filter thread seems to be nonstandard , like 76mm or so.

My first try with Galaxy paper. I metered it as ISO125, allowed for a third of a stop of bellows compensation—my 450mm lens was extended to 600mm to focus this close—and it came out just right. My only problem is that when looked at 100% magnification there are all sorts of black speckles on the image. I don't think these are from my water supply.

Edit: Forgot to add, I did pre-flash in my usual way (1/3 of final exposure through a sheet of white paper) and I did load the film holders and develop under a red Paterson safelight with no obvious fogging.

Thanks for the tip Ed - I read somewhere about fitting a rubber Mamiya lenshood to it but it is indeed 77mm that lenshood and the Pentac not :-/

Scott: If I remember a children's book I read to my daughters, the catch line was "Simple things are best!" Beautiful work!

One of them thar cameras of the future. Good to see portraiture won't change much in 90 years.
