Mount Hood Over the Powell Valley

I’m testing a new film called Atimix-X by a company called Famous Format. It is supposed to be similar to Kadak’s beloved Panatomic-X, which, like all great Kodak films, was discontinued a long time ago. My first negatives are a mixed success. I like the tones, but the negative did not scan well. The cloud are disappointing. Another issue is that it’s not very sharp. That’s my fault. I didn’t have the rear standard of the camera tightened down. I forgot to do it. Naturally, when I slid the film holder in, it unfocused the camera a little. Oh, and the lens has an electronic shutter, and the battery had died. That gives it an automatic 1/30th second exposure. Luckily, that was close enough to the metered exposure.
Camera: Sinar Alpina 4x5
Lens: 210mm Schneider Convertable
Film: Famous Format Atomic-X developed in Kodak HC-110 dilution B.
