Philips PCS150 Enlarger (05)

Philips Medium Format Enlarger PCS 150.

 

So i used Photoshop Elements to select a crop of the former image (nr 4 in this set) and used the Invert function to get a positive.

 

Image looks very flat. Still a red shift but that would be easily corrected in a next shot of the negative.

 

Please don't look too much at the sharpness. I know that it is horrible !

Main goal was to see how the colors behaved. And to me this result is very disappointing.

 

My set-up was very amateuristic. Just remove the Enlarger lens, put the Nikon D40 on the easel and pointed it upwards. Autofocus was used, ISO set at 200 and Colorbalance at Tungsten (3000K).

 

A much better performance would be reached with one of the latest DSLR's with its super megapixels sensor and, very important, an excellent macro-lens.
