A few days ago I posted about some 4x5 holders I got on Ebay having
film in them. I developed it today, & it was unexposed. I thought it
would be, but you never know.
On another note, I finally had time to print one of the first 4x5 negs
I've shot. WOW! Just getting used to the camera, I set it up in the
darkroom & shot my chemical shelves. Actually, a fairly decent test;
there's everything there from white dry chemical jars to a dead flat
black 4x5 tank, and shade in between. Lighting was just the ceiling
lights, so I got some good reflections off brown glass bottles, and a
good variety of shadows on the wall behind the shelves.
I'm really impressed with the clarity of the shot - Tri-x in D-76H,
BTW. Made an 8x10 & I'm amazed at the sharpness. Ran the enlarger up
tp 16x20 and made a print of 1/4 of the neg. Still extremely sharp,
with just the barest touch of grain. I'll have to set up the RB-67
for a comparison shot to be sure, but this appears to blow away the MF
work I've done. If nothing else, it's a great incentive to get behind
the big camera & burn more sheets of film.
