Hello, I am writing because I have been pondering this question. Why is it that when I look under my enlarger with my grain focuser the image is not as sharp as the sa me image taken with my Hasselblad... Technically, I believe that the 4x5 image s hould be sharper due to less enlargement. I am using T-Max 100, developed in HC- 110, but I have now purchased some TMAX RS developer. I have also noticed this o n some chromes that I have taken. One theory, is that my ground glass, is cheap; purchased at a glass shop for $1, versus $50 for a Linhof brand. Could this thr ow off my focusing? I am stopping the lens down pretty far when i shoot (f/22 or so) so I wouldn't think that there would be too much difference if it was focus ing on the front of the glass versus the back, but maybe??? I am using a loupe w hen I focus, so it is not my eyes... Please let me know of any insight that you may have... Thanks!!! Joe Accuardi Portland, OR
