Two mistakes:
I wanted detail in the quartz veins so I spot metered them and gave an extra stop; should have been an extra two stops. The neg is a bit thin and went out on contrasty paper which exaggerated the gradation.
The 10" Commercial Ektar lens covers 8x10 but with little to spare. It runs out of coverage if front tilt is used to get the deep focus Scheimpflug effect so strong back tilt was used instead. The top of the film (bottom of the subject) was much further from the lens than the bottom of the film (top of the subject), the inverse square law bites, and fall-off results. Mistakes and compromises; so it goes.
