[pure-silver] Re: duplicate info

SNIP:

Good point!
I forgot about that, a normal lens of a small tele would work
better to keep the picture straight.  I don't use hasselblad but
I don;t think you can tilt/shift to correct for this.  Thus the
film and picture must be parallel.

As for exposure use whatever is needed... 1 second or 2 should
be fine with TMAX.
Bracket. bracket, bracket!

I've been wrong before and will probably be wrong again in the next five minutes... In med format I shoot a Kowa and my WA lens is a 55mm. I've done a good bit of closeup work with this lens with no complaints. I believe that if he shoots using the 55, has the lens dead level and perpendicular to the print, and uses the center of the lens that he will get the image he needs with little distortion. The WA has the advantage of being a closer focusing lens than other lenses of longer focal length...

I admit that I have not done this. If I were duplicating something that needed a neg bigger than 35mm I usually just jump straight to a 4X5... Maybe I should give it a try. I have a bunch of old family photos from my grandmother that I am sure there are others who would like to have a copy...
