    My new to me Speed Graphic...... I spent some real time getting the RF adjusted but I am very happy with it now. The following 2 frames were both shot though the RF.

    Can you remember what aperture you were using? Were you shooting handheld? Those pictures look like they have a lot of DOF, but whenever I go out with the speed graphic, I am always disappointed at my inability to get good DOF and still maintain the 1/60th or so that I need for handheld shooting.

    There is almost nthing in this world I am anal about but this one thing; I take notes :

    both shots tripod using RF to focus and VF to set up shot

    Shanghai 100@80
    13min rodinal 1:50 for 12 min

    top frame:
    F32
    meter = 40'
    add repcropricty for total exposure 605'
    focus point was the power steerign pressure hose on the right hand front of the frame. I should have grabbed a focus point furthur to the back of the frame to get all of the background in focus.


    Bottom frame:
    F32
    meter = 13.5s
    add repcropricty for total exposure 120'
    focus point was the frame rear cross member in the center middle of the frame I am happy with the DOF but the very front gets soft. I did not even try to wrangle some sort of fake front rear tilt to get the very front sharp but, had I done so, the frotn should be as sharp as the rear.

    What i learned from this series of 6 frames:

    Trust the reprocitcy tables! I almost decided the 10min and 2 min exposure for frame were too long...nope; this is a straight scan with no messing with and the exposure is great.

    even with small f stop placement of the focus point really makes a difference!


    I have not done it with this graphic yet but I generally shoot 400 or 800 to keep the shutter speed high enough to hand hold.
