I am doing 16x20 Ilfochromes through Velvia, a well "saturated" film which gives glorious colors on the print, but takes really long exposures. In fact, most exposures are around two minutes at f4 and some burn in sections take as long as five minutes! The bulb is new (I have tried three new bulbs), no haze in the lens, and I am getting well into the reciprocity failure area of Ilfochrome paper. The prints I do get are very sharp, colors look vibrant, I just seem to be over the limits of practical use of the V35. Any ideas? Congrats, Mary, on getting out some good prints on your new V35!
