Joby how is the 4x5 coming along?

I am still pretty slow to set up a shot. I have been traveling the past few weeks and was not able to take it with me. I have developed only 8 exposures so far. One appears to have suffered the white death of leaving the lens open by accident when I opened the dark slide. Otherwise exposures look reasonable and very few other mistakes were made. I have been shooting some Delta 100, HP5, and most recently Portra 400.

i always get the same amount of grain in lower light.

Probably just because the film is underexposed.

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one! When I was starting with 4x5 it seemed like an impossible mission just to NOT screw up. Double exposures, pulling the darkslide with the lens open, empty film holders, mis-loaded film holders, etc.

Are you using the zone system?

Here are a couple from my Korona 5x7 (4x5 back) with the Caltar 150mm f/5.6 shot on HP5+ and processed with 1+50 Rodinal for 11 min at 68F using the taco method in a Patterson 4 tank.

Got some Portra 400 scans back last night along with one roll of HP5 pushed to 3200...will share a few later on.

Very interested to see both, especially the pushed HP5!

Just learning how to use the zone system. I am metering with my DSLR or my Pentax 645N.
I read a lot before making my first exposure. I also used some Fuji instant film for instant feedback in the beginning. So far I have only left the lens open, let a light leak in by bumping the instant back, and scratched the film during loading/unloading. I am sure I will do everything you described at least once as I increase use.

I've got 3 rolls of HP5 might shoot the first at 400, second at 100, and third at 3200

3200 on 35mm might be a bit too grainy though

Also, I'm after a Mamiya 6 and 75mm + 50mm and possibly 150mm
In Australia or overseas and willing to post.

Cheers

Well, if it isn't the man who started this whole mess!

Here's my Canonet G-III QL/17. Shot with the F-1n last night using Acros and 510-Pyro developer.

I've been doing that as well, works well enough. The zone system really helped me in getting exactly what I wanted on the negative.

From earlier today. Only about a 3 stop dynamic range (minus the sky), so I reduced exposure and increased development from 8 minutes to 10:30 in order to increase the contrast and sense of texture.

7sec, f/16, FP4+, D76
