That's really beautiful, tonality is very nice for a blue sensitive film. That repromaster looks very sharp, have you mounted it in a shutter or do you use it with a Packard or lens cap instead?

Thanks! This is just a lenscap at f/64 with a filter the times are around a second or 1/2 second so its doable. the film is "CRT" film, like mammography film so a little different than standard blue.

Wow! That's just plain gorgeous! Great exposure. What filter did you use?

Great looking image. Can you tell me what the development spec's. Developer and dilution, Developer temp. and total time in developer. I'm just getting into this, and before I open my new bottle of developer. I want to have a handle on as many of the spec's as possible. Thanks again, Seattle man....Rde

Just one more question. Seeing how scanning is also a new thing for me. I have a v700 still in the box. How did you go about getting sutch a great looking view? I have an older 8x10 that I'm currently restoring, so 8x10 is where I would like to go. Thanks....Seattle man. Rde
