Some first images from my Makina 670. I also did a focus verification image - spot on. What is much more difficult for me to assess is whether the shutter speeds are ok. Densities on the negatives looked ok but I would like to employ a more structured way to checking this. If anyone has ideas, I am all ears.

I'd shoot a roll of transparency film....

Yep, waiting for delivery of the slide film.

Ektachrome confirmed that the shutter speeds are fine, at least they are consistent from one to the next. All good.

Hello again everyone!
I have just purchased a 58 mm B+W 007 Clear Filter to protect the front element from the elements. When using the Makina 670 with BW film, I would like to use the B+W 022 Basic Yellow Filter instead. I have one with 72 mm diameter. My idea is to purchase a step-up ring from 58 mm to 72 mm.

Have you ever screwed wide step-up rings into the 58 mm thread of the lens? Any risk scratching the flat surface ring around the front element?

Thanks,
Erik

Tried it in my photo shop last Saturday. No problem to use a step-up ring.

Very good! I didn't think there'd be a problem unless you were doing something very extreme, but I don't have a Makina to experiment with.

It’s perfectly fine with the Hama step-up ring from 58 mm to 72 mm.
