Re: PESO - Film Day 2
I think this is my favorite of the set. But I agree it lacks a smidge of contrast by today's standard. Still it looks pretty balanced. Are these scanned prints or negs? pdml-requ...@pdml.net wrote: Message: 7 Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:33:13 -0500 From: Paul Stenquistpnstenqu...@comcast.net To: Pentax-Discuss Mail Listpdml@pdml.net Subject: PESO - Film Day 2 Message-ID:ac0d3243-abb1-4676-8c82-9a7f11041...@comcast.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cranbrook Manor, an Albert Kahn creation, built in 1908.

Re: PESO - Film Day 2
Thanks Don. They're scanned negs. I spent about a year shooting almost exclusively with that lens about a dozen years ago. It has a subtlety that I like. The high contrast look came with multi coating techniques. Paul On Feb 22, 2013, at 4:18 PM, Don Guthrie shark50...@gmail.com wrote: I think this is my favorite of the set.
