I'm thinking of doing some pictures at the Dartmouth college homecoming
bonfire tonight. I had thought I might try doing some black and white shots
in available light. Here is the list of what I have in the fridge (film
wise) right now:
Ilford Delta pro 100
Ilford XP2 400
Kodak TMax 100
Kodak TMax 400
What would be your choice, and recommendations for using it, i.e. pushing
etc. Suggestions for other films would be interesting, but not an option as
I can't get to a camera store today. BTW I don't do my own developing yet...
Regards,

Hi Mick,
Oh boy, get your wallet out. (And don't ship this one by UPS -- har!!) A
shift lens is an expensive optic that allows you to move the optic axis of
the lens so that it intersects the film plane off-center and/or at some
angle other than 90 degrees. Very nice for architectural shots, or anything
else where you need perspective control -- i.e., to make sure that the
parallel lines of the very large object show up as parallel lines in the
image on your film. KEH has an SMC 28/3.5 shift lens, in bargain condition,
for "only" $645.
