I picked up a 4x5 sinar with a Nikkor 150mm lens a few days ago.

This is a scan of a 4x5 contact print.

I was able to get out on the weekend and take a few shots.

I'm still learning tray development, this is pretty much the only one that kinda-sorta turned out. Even on this one you can see un even development at the edges.

Like everything worth knowing, it will take me a little time to get it sorted out.

A sickly week for me and a void from real photos as a result. I present a test image from a lens that came back from service, only to go back again the next day. (fun). Pathethic, I know but eh, what'cha gonna do?

So I wanted to test a couple of things before a family road trip in a couple of weeks: 1) Did my Busch Pressman still work properly? and 2) with a different developer or agitation, was the Mod54 4x5 insert doohickey going to be streak-free?

So the answer is yes and yes.

This is where children come in handy for testing purposes. I told Nick not to move but he interpreted that as to look grumpy too (which he wasn't). I shot one sheet at f/8 and this one I forgot to stop down after focusing, and shot at f/4.7 instead (overexposed just under two stops). I liked this one better though.

Kodak Tri-X 320 that had been sitting in a film holder at room temperature for at least two years. Rodinal 1:100 semi-stand development, Mod54 device in a Paterson daylight tank. Epson 4990 scanner.

In my photo 3 class we used the view camera. It was hard, but the images are worth the pain.

When one is lazy and dont want goes out with a heavy camera , this is the result. The photo take a 40x50 cm print on barit paper

Shen-Hao 4x5 with Nikkor-W 135mm F/5.6 with B+W Red filter. Apparently my Six Changer film back has a bit of a light leak

Sorry for the bad scans, my Epson V600 is unable to scan 4x5 neg, so I put the negs on top of an iPad in flashlight mode... apparently I have to raise it just a bit, the individual light pixels of the iPad screen can be seen in some of the photos

This is my sister Tami, and I actually used a B&W print of a shot that I did of her in the scene and did a three different exposures along with in camera masking.
