This was shot/processed using the Zone system theory. I'm learning and I'm happy with the tonal range. I'm anxious to see other's photos, so please post them. - Jim
I've been trying to get into the dark to soup my stuff (and Alex's 4X5 shots) all week. I have a client meeting tonight, but with any luck, I'll be able to run them tomorrow evening.

I think I saw him too, he was loading a bag with cotton swab tips and alcohol.
Don't know what happened to him after that.
PS: It is a very well done portrait.

Hey Alex, you old large format expert...
OK, this should REALLY be done as a PM or an email, but I wanted to share this with the guys...
I just souped your first 4X5 negatives - they look great! They're hanging to dry as I type.
OK, off to soup some of my 5X7...

Bob, thanks again for showing me the door to wonderful large format photography.
Yep, I am going to count some holder tonight.

I'm glad I ran your 4X5 stuff before my first batch of 5X7. Your negs are fine, but the first of two batches of 5X7 I ran this evening... well... let's just say that if you are going to process in Microdol-X 1:3, it helps to ADD the Microdol-X to the water. Yup, I "developed" four sheets of 5X7 in plain old water... Oh well, at least my last four sheets are fine (I just posted a scan of one negative).
BTW - I souped your Plus-X in Ilfosol-S 1:9, I find that's a very good combo.

Guess the water didn't work well then. Sorry for the negs.
Here is a couple of shots I made that day on APX100 and kodak HIE.

That's Chris who was shooting with a brand new D2X, which I won't hold against him (I have one too). He was intrigued with the 4x5s though.

When serendipity meets fate...is what I call it! That was a lot of gunk on my Polaroid back! Never been cleaned in a couple of years.

Chris was nice enough to let me fool around with it. He had an 85 f1/4 mounted on it. He was prepared to have me call it heavy, but compared to my Leica R8 with 80mm f1.4 I thought that the package was fairly light.
The autofocus (with more sensors than I could count) was nice too, though I much prefer the viewfinder, controls and focusing screen of my Leica SLR. We both have what we want, I suppose...
Take care,
Tom
