First set. Yes, there is a second one.

Sorry about the spots on the negs...still haven't quite worked out a good wash procedure in this house. I'm getting some distilled water today.

Those are Pan-F in Rodinal. They're nothing special because I just wanted to test focus, but I'm kinda fond of that cloud shot. :)
 
I'm excited for the set I took close up and wide open. My boyfriend was the subject and he kinda gave me the finger while shooting. I'll spare you all that one. :D

They look good. This lens required the variable standoff ring be adjusted. On the Leica's and Nikon external bayonet lenses, I have a field pre-viewer. On the Contax and internal Nikon RF's, I have to use a loupe at the film gate. Problem is trying to get the film to sit correctly in it as it would during an actual exposure.

These look good.

prewar Zeiss part number 540/11 - "Insert ground glass focusing screen for 35mm cameras". This was used to focus for the Contax II plate film back. It sits exactly at the film plane and is held on by ball bearing locks. Got mine on eBay for about $35 - also fits and many 35mm cameras (not my Canon 7 unfortunately)

I'll look for one of those.

I use a blank negative strip with opaque paper on it, anda 15x loupe with a glass plate at the focal point. The glass holds the film strip flat, but I need to be careful of buckling.

Pacific gets $75 for it but it is a pretty neat accessory - worht looking for.

I have one of these for my Graflex XLW MF wide body camera. It is great for exact close focusing.
