Just put this on the heat press ... Will continue toning tomorrow.


FP4+, 4x5, 180mm on MGWT, 12x16

Nice print Lars!
Since you are using a heat press I assume its Fibre. How are you planning on toning it? It is something I'd like to give a try as well!

 

[FujiLove]

Stellar work again! These two I wouldn't mind having on my wall!
Ben

Thanks Ben. I'd be happy to print you a couple if you PM me your details.

Beautiful prints of those great machines. The Ektar doesn't look cyan at all which can be a problem when scanning. I find Ektar particularly nice with my old Summitar.

What lens did you use on your 6x7 and does it have any yellowing you had to filter out? I've got a 105mm with mild yellowing but I haven't printed color from it yet.

These were both taken with my 90mm 2.8 (latest version) without any additional filters. The lens is very clean (thank you Japanese eBay seller!) and doesn't exhibit any yellowing.

MG IV, Fomaspeed Variant PE/RC, Fomabrom fiber and some special warmtone papers MG 532, 332.

Question: is Fomaspeed still coated on a thinner base compared to MG DeLuxe, MCP, etc?

I love the 312, lovely paper - best d-max among matte papers, but my prints silverd out in a few monts already!!

 

[Fotohuis]

There is some difference. In the papers specs you can see the small difference. I am working in a Nova vertical processor or in a ACP-252 Thermaphot roller machine and have no problems with both PE/RC papers.

 

[miha]

Do you know why the difference? I understand Schoeller is the only game in town. I also read Foma uses base used by some RA4 paper producers - I know one Christal Archive paper type to be particularly thin. Any truth to that?

 

[Fotohuis]

Well you have to ask the manufacturer: Foma in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic.

 

[miha]

I fear that would be in vain.
