Large Format Photography Australia

mark l wrote:4x10-most people cut 8x10 in half, dead easy. I believe Ilford with their once a year large format custom order will do fp4plus and hp5plus in 4x10. Not aware of anyone doing colour as a stock product, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Beat me to it!

I have a faint recollection of Fuji doing dedicated E-6 4x10 at some point, based on seeing it advertised on eBay and/or LFPF.

I think that Tom612 (username on LFPF) used one recently, so he might know more. I'm not sure if he's a member here.

Time for a new panoramic…

Cape Woolamai (Phillip Island), Victoria.
7x17" Efke 100
355mm G Claron
1"@f64, R25 (mid red) filter.

looks to have awesome contrast and totality. i have been having trouble achieving that sort of contrast.. might be my agitation methods.. still new to black and white dev and having some success with regard to exposure and negative density. just not getting the real meaty contrast...

nice shot indeed lachlan. would love to see it at 20,000*7500 pixels

Heres a few recent ones from my Gaoersi 6x17. Lens used is a Super Angulon 90mm F/8. I REALLY need a center filter. fall off is quite noticeable on BW, I can only imagine how horrible it would be on Velvia 50...

Varying shutter speeds, all at F/32.
All on Ilford Pan F+
Rodinal 50:1, 8min 15sec @ 24c.

An unsung hero of a lens!

Many thanks, Walter.

It's the first time that I've used that lens in anger. I also have a 240mm Computar (very wide for the 7x17), but I had left its step-up ring at home.

Got to admit, it was a good mistake with the benefit of hindsight!

Thanks again for your kind words.

Lachlan, that's a stunning image. I should get down there but now I would just be copying your shot.

Alex, glad to see the 6x17 working out. Have done the conversion on the Holga(now fitted with a 65mmf8) and heading done to GST tomorrow to try it out.

thanks Shane, loving the 617. its beautifully simple and pumping out some quality frames. i have shot a couple of rolls of panf+ and intend to feed it some ektar 100 courtesy of lachlan this weekend. maybe some velvia too.. will have my first go at c41 processing. then i have done the lot. c41 e6 and bw..

Lachlan that image is stunning. I can only imagine how much detail there is in those rocks

Heres a fresh scan.. I've nearly caught up scanning all my slides and negs from the last few months..
