Re: Polaroid Fuji holders nightmare

There is no compatibility whatsoever.

The old P/N 55 Polaroid was a favourite of mine. It had a very distinctive look all its own and reminiscent of the era in which it was invented - very 50s-ish. I understand that the film itself was Kodak Panatomic-X.

Re: Starting printing.. paper advice

I recommend placing NOTHING in the light path from the lens. There is a pull out tray for filters on the L1200 - take it out, measure it, cut filters to fit. It is what I did.

I actually preferred the results when I used the Kodak filters. You might look for some of them also.

Lachlan,

I am sure beyond reasonable doubt that a debate such as you are proffering is of sweet FA use to the fellow.

Re: Exposure metering

Lachlan, We are talking about a person here with precious little experience with these things. Where I believe that the BTZS incident metering technique would be likely to give better, more consistent results is that do not pre-suppose or require Zone Placement which is where most Zone System novice...

Re: Exposure metering

If you follow Phil Davis's BTZS method the incident meter will be as goodf or better than a spot meter.

Re: Exposure metering

I must admit that I was surprised to see just how consistently accurate the the Pocket Light Meter app on the iPhone is. Functions as a sort of spot meter.

Now they're all shiny and bright, I wonder what I can point them at?

Re: Rekindling old passion

Lets see the results =} Probably not likely as I do not post nudes on forums. But it was a steep learning curve sort of shoot. I shot 12 sheets as a warm up and then switched to the Hasselblad. I never went back to the Sinar. I have to ponder deeply just what I prioritise for the shots and part of ...
