Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try LensTagger. At the moment, I try to put this info as keywords. But would rather have to equipment info as EXIF and info about the image keyworded.
I do both keywords & exif, simply because that was I can find everything multiple ways.

Do note that LensTagger's interface sometimes leaves a little to be desired. From a UX standpoint, I'd call it "what happens when a programmer designs the UI": functional, but a bit clunky at times.

Does it write the changes to the imported source file or are they written at export?

Written to the imported file itself.

Got it. Lurking behind the tree in the middle of the trunk. Cutie.

First roll through the P 67

Well, I've finally put a roll of 120 through the Beast of the Southern Wild--I must say, the negatives look great, but I'm afraid the scans aren't striking me as particularly well done. I think a bit of confusion with the counter help might have resulted in a pretty low-rez, "generic" file--I might have these rescanned at a different lab along with my next roll, just to see what's "really" there.


Otherwise, I'm still pretty optimistic about the new system: all of these were shot with the 55/4, which seems sharp indeed, and it looks as if my Manfrotto 410 and Uni-loc 1700 are up to locking things down. Likewise, I'm digging the colors of Ektar--these were almost all "SOC" with a bit of slider work in ACR.

Nice colors. I like the first and second best. Looking forward to more...

Ha, thanks--definitely juggling a lot of variables here, including figuring out how to use an incident light meter. I'm still a little overwhelmed just looking through the 67's finder--a lot of real estate! The 55/4 is a trip as well, especially coming from a crop sensor K5:





At any rate, a lot to learn--hope to see some from the Bronica soon as well.

Have I mentioned lately that I love my lab? Well, I love my lab.

They got in some alpha rolls of Cinestill's 120 format 800T, and gave me one to try out. (With the promise that I report back to them about any issues I had with it. I believe they received between 50 to 100 rolls, so I'm not that special amongst their clients. )

I've shot the 35mm before and I can't say that I was enamoured of it. Results on 120 were much more pleasant, though I had some unfortunate electrostatic discharge visible to varying degrees on all frames. But that's why it's a pre-retail alpha.

I was in Alcalá de Henares a few years ago for a wedding and remember thinking that the centre of town was very nice and I should try to go back for some photos, something I haven't managed to do yet despite living close-by in Madrid.

Those look really nice. I haven't tried Cinestill yet due to availability and price, but based on these I think I'll be very tempted.

I'm not certain when the 120 rolls are going to be ready for sale. They've been a bit behind schedule for production.
