Just beautiful Peter, fave! By the way, how do you scan your larger negatives? I am about to put a couple frames through a 4x5, but my scanner window isn't quite that large.
@grizzlysghost I lashed out and bought an Epson V700 recently which scan up to 8x10. Before that I was using the Canoscan for 35mm to 120mm and second hand Epson 4990 for 4x5. I wasn't happy with the scanner glass, which really needs to be replaced on the 4990. Eventually I will rescan all my 4x5 negs from USA and try to sell the unneeded scanners. The V700 and 750 have some nice features, some reviews indicate that the scan quality is as good as using a drum scanner, and the third party scanning software available for these models is fairly decent. I would send you the old 4990 to play with if you were closer, but the postage would be a bit on the expensive side. What sort of 4x5 do you have? Have started collecting some lenses, and what sort of film are you going to shoot? Can't wait to see the results
I just shot 4 frames (indoors) on the speed graphic; two using an old english arial lens and two with the standard issue graphex lens. I had to use the rear curtain shutter for the first lens on T and tried to time about 1-second with it, so we'll soon see what we got! I'm shooting on some expired (1977) Tri-X Pan that may have already been exposed; again, we'll see in about a half hour! :) I'll do my best with the old Canoscan for now.
@grizzlysghost the advantage of having rear focal plane shutter is being able to easily use a lot of the old nineteenth century brass lens, as well as Soviet LF lenses, for exotic portrait and other photos. You must have a great sister
