It's my FIL. The shot was taken yesterday in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park (Colorado). Corona 4x5 with a Schneider 210mm f/6.3 lens (Copal shutter). 1/100" at f/11. Ilford Delta 100 at ISO 100, processed in Rodinal 1:50. I didn't spend much time on the scan - just a quick adjustment of the levels, usm and contrast (and dust removal).

thanks for that ... I was thinking something like 180mm at about f11 but wasn't sure :-)
lovely

Here's the photostitch of the negative. Looks like I have some developing tank issues to deal with. A closer inspection of the other 9 negatives from this run shows some of them have this same problem.

re the developing issues, I moved to BTZS tubes about 2 years ago after some were donated to me ... having used them now I will say that I would buy them at twice the price I spent on my Jobo 2500 series drum system
luckilly you'll find them on ebay for nearly nothing
go wild!
EDIT: I just checked ebay ... they sell new for 149 with the water bath for temperature control. Given they have no complex hangers or mounting system, are dead easy to use and you'll save on chemistry; I think for monochrome they are the best thing since sliced bread!
