So the test portrait I made yesterday using my Aero-Liberator 4X5 with an Aero Ektar 178mm F2.5 lens at F2.5– depth of field is like .1” at 7 feet which is the subject distance in this test. My lens also has been repolished and as such it has a very soft but beautiful classic rendering at F2.5 and a close working distance, stop it down and it is classic sharp. Film is Ilford FP4+ at box speed and processed in FF No1 Mono bath developer— the results are beautiful. @new55film @ilfordphoto @kodak #stephenschaub #imaconscanner #aeroektar #aeroektar178 #aeroliberator #naturallightportrait (at Stephen M.

Film / Developer test— Kodak P3200 and Delta 3200 both at 1600 and pushed to 3200 with CineStill Df96 Mono bath developer. Nice to have two Leica M3 bodies as it makes this test easy. @artisanandartist @kodak_shootfilm @kodak @cinestillfilm @leicacamerausa #p3200tmax #imaconscanner #stephenschaub #leicam3 #df96 @luigi.crescenzi @ilfordphoto #pattersonfilmdevelopingtank (at Stephen M.

Looking at Cinestill BWXX Film (Kodak 5222) in CineStill Df96 and FF No.1 Mono Bath developers. Images were made with my Leica M3 with a 35mm Summicron Lens at F8. Both handled this film and this very hard lighting quite nicely— the FF No.1 has a bit more contrast in the mid tones and the Df96 is a little lower contrast overall and had a tad more highlight control. The histogram is from my Imacon Scanner so it represents what the film looked like before basic level adjustment in Photoshop— both at box speed and please note nothing is clipping on either end. Grain was very similar between the two. @new55film @cinestillfilm @kodak_shootfilm @hasselblad #imaconscanner #monobathdeveloper #figital #leicam3 @leicacamerausa (at Stephen M. Schaub)
