Lovely shot tuco!
In no way can I match it, but here is a shot I took on a roll of Foma 100 that I tried a few months ago. Just got to developing it this week.

Pentax 67, 105 f/2.4, Foma 100 in Tmax

Wonderful tonality Tuco ! I love this little sepia touch !

Thanks. I thought the bronze statues looked better with the color from the scan so I left it that way.

I am looking forward to hear what you think of it including the mounting process

I am with Luc and eagerly waiting to read your impressions of wet mount in general. Sorry it did not work well on the Nikon.

Here's an architectural shot I did with a Pentax 67 and the latest 200mm lens on Velvia 50. Scanned with a Nikon LS-8000.

I'll also include a 100% crop. This lens is sharp! The crop equates to an image over 8 feet tall.

What DPI did you scan at?
It does look nicely sharp

I will probably look at getting the 67 200mm at some point.

Corran · 04-13-2011, 05:28 AM

4000 dpi

Full disclosure: I did do my usual USM processing in Photoshop. But that's a given, IMO.

Nice. I use to have the 200mm. I found it fine for portraits too. I wish they would have made it like the 165/2.8 with the built-in, pull out lens hood instead of a fixed lens hood by having that front element recessed so far in. It seems to be wasted space after putting a filter on it.

That's a 100% crop of a 4000dpi scan??

wow it certainly does look impressive to me.

I am smiling because I have this lens and while it takes a lot of room in my bag, you just proved that it was worth it.

Cheers,

...a couple of photos of me sorting 6 x 17cm transparencies on my attache case light box. You may have seen these posted by me in the Pentaxium Day Gallery under the title: "Like The Hand Of God"

Shot with a K20D & Sigma 24mm F1.8 EX DG Macro hand held @ 200ASA Raw

6x17's were shot with a 5x4 Toyo with Schneider 47mm & 58mm F5.6 Super-Angulon XL & Rodenstock 65mm f/4.5 Grandagon-N lenses, their respective centre graduated filters & 6 x 17 Art Panorama Back.

The film stock for one of the transparencies may be found amusing (perhaps)

Not too off topic I hope

Cheers

Oh my, that is one cool looking format. I can see a chain of mountains or a lake on these.

Nice.

Definate +1 with tuco there!!
They look great from the over the shoulder view!
And I agree with Luc too, would be great potential for wide landscapes. Although it looks like you have made good use of the aspect ratio anyway!

Very cool, plus one on lets see the scans

6x17 is a really cool format, landscapes are the obvious but i really like how you have used it from the over the shoulder view

gtxtom · 04-15-2011, 10:33 AM

Well here's a few from my first rolls of 100 Ektar. I have no stunners, but just using the camera was fun!
