Yesterday I took the 8x10 back that came with the conversion kit I purchased up to my mate's and had it checked on the Sinar jig that measures alignment. It is amazingly true. A few weeks earlier I had taken the 4x5 components and they were also well within acceptable tolerance.
I also picked up the new Apo-Sironar-S 360mm 1:6.8 so I am all set to get to work.
I am just stuck for a motif. Every way I look at it I can't really make the change on the motif that I have been working on for a couple of years. I had done a test a few weeks ago on 4x5 with a slight variation of my ongoing approach but it didn't excite ... to say the least.
At present the idea is that the 8x10 will stay in the studio and the Technika will come out to play in the big wide world.
We'll see.
Shame the weather was such crap at the weekend or I could have been precessing some film this morning.
