Nevertheless, these images show off the advantages of these large format lens well, I think. All of these were taken with 20mm - 30mm of rise, no detectable light falloff as far as I can tell, and of course being from the Acros film, the tonality is delicious. Dragon in my office. Hmmm... need to clean up the cobweb. Nikkor 300 M (Thanks Frank!) http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20121020-Scanned-15-Edit.jpg Just a test to see how well the Nikkor handles the 30mm rise (max) http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20121020-Scanned-16.jpg Same scene as above but with the Symmar-S 210mm (loaner from Pasvorn) http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20121020-Scanned-17-Edit.jpg The scratch still remains, but we have now narrow down to the most likely culprit - a nick in the film holder. (WTF, rusty roller and tiny nicks on the edge of the holder? grr...) ********* I don't have time to go to Bishop this weekend, but I will try to hit either the trees (Red Wood State Park) or the coast in the next couple days. I will even bring some Provia and Velvia... -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com>
