Tony,

Beautiful! That's an impressive 1st contact print. I hope I will have a small part of your success when I head down that road myself (as soon as the Lodima arrives). Did you develop in Amidol?

Thanks Jim. I really appreciate it.

As for Amidol, is there any other developer?

Dear Jiri,

Your tightly arranged floral subject material is absolutely stunning...

Very, very well done. I am absolutely jealous of your skill sets.

Absolutely stunning work in this thread--the b&w especially.

Jiri, wonderful orchids...

Tony, congrats on a great print!

I think this is my favorite of the flowers I've done so far--a Stargazer Lilly. I haven't yet been able to achieve a print I'm satisfied with--haven't found a color space that matches the brilliancy of the actual film. This is from a 4x5 slide, probably done with a Schneider 150 on Fuji Velvia.

One of my first shots in color that I developed last night:

Portra 160VC 4x5 shot at ISO100 (I won't do that again) in Arista C-41 Jobo developed for 3 1/4 minutes.
