My first shot with Ilford Harman direct positive paper with my mannequin Debra. Used my 4x5 Combo SCII large format camera. Shot at ISO 3 and developed in Ilford Multigrade at 1/14 for almost 3 minutes. Next time around I won't leave it in the devolper for so long as to not crush the blacks.
post-German house of the late 40th XX - photographer and media mural (Bank ad), in the early twenty-first century photographer turned into a café. fresco almost disappeared. Oława, Poland. 29.01.2012
I think its interesting to compare this Astia shot with the previous Vevia shot. both taken at the same time and location with the same lens. Starkey Wilderness Park in Pasco County FL. Of course there was post processing on both, I tried to get the best image I could.
hi ladies, just so you don't worry that I'm not getting started or nuffink ...
I'm going this way ...
Please let me know if you no likey ... obv will be sashed and squared with white, after a few more hexies ...
sorry photo bit blurry ... cat was on zoom around the room madness and I got about 6 seconds before it was spread to the four winds ...
Whilst Perceptol has superior sharpness and detail, Rodinal stand development produced better acutance in this case I think - far from a scientific test though - you cannot really make grand comparisons with one image
First test shot from an Ernemann Heag camera adapted to 4x5. Negative developed with X-tol and scanned on a flatbed with white paper backing, because I'm out of photo paper.
Sinar f but not sure of lens, probably app-acro-sironar 100/5.6, Fuji ACROS 100, Rodinal 1:40 11min., contact printed on a LPL7453 Enlarger with a Fujinon 135mm/5.6 lens at C000 M023 Y049 on Fujibro VG WP FM paper in Chugai paper developer. These little road-side stone buddhas are common in the Japanese country side and always intriguing but I have a hard time photographing them.

This 4X5 pinhole camera has a light tight port that allows you to inject and remove developer, fixer, and wash. Pop open the back and your print is ready. It is a positive if you use Direct Positive Paper, as I did with my example.
OK. The real things (developing tanks for 4x5) can be obscenely expensive. I am not doing that. The money is much better spent on new lenses or film or photopaper.
Here is a 4x5 developing tank made out of cardboard. The design is my own. (I enjoyed designing the light traps.) It's a perfect size, sealed with double layers of PVA glue and acrylic paint, re-useable in a session, and light enough (in terms of weight) to carry anywhere. It takes a single 4x5 sheet and the diluted developer for one image can be carried in a single 35mm cannister.
I demonstrated it in a friend's place recently - using no darkroom, just the camera to take a picture and a darkbag to put the film in the tank, and the rest in the light. I produced a visible negative image in under 2 minutes, including 1min developing time. The ultimate object is to use the Ilford - Harman direct positive paper to make 4x5 prints in the field with my LF camera.
