I'm not new to film, but it's been a while. I opened a way out of date box of tri-x 400 4x5 yesterday and set up a film room in the bathroom to do some testing. I don't normally do cat pictures, but here are the results. I am not happy with the scan but I am new at that. operator error I'm sure, but fun so far.

8x10 Retro-Tonal in HC110 Shot with a 240mm Sironar on a Gandolfi and scanned on an Epson. Same subject as an M9 shot posted in the albums. Printed on 40x50 there's really not much difference between the two. A drum scan would do better.

That's beautiful. You mean 40x50 centimeters not inches I assume?

Thanks! 40x50cm - in fact A2 in the Stylus Pro 4900. I'm ashamed to say on this branch of the forum that a six-shot stitch using the 90mm Macro-Elmar looks way better than 8x10 TMax flat-bed scanned. Maybe I should get an enlarger.
Heres another 8x10 with a an old Suter 360mm lens and an 8x10 version of the Leica stitch posted elsewhere.

Just did a job for the church office, they needed a portrait of a retiring priest. They hang the pictures in his church(s) along with all the other priests before him...
I knew he was a keen amateur photographer so once the digital mf shots were safely in the can I pulled out my trusty 1950s crown graphic and shot some very expired T59 and some not so expired T55.. my stocks are running low... gonna miss polaroid large format..
I sent him home smiling with two polaroids in his pocket :)

Riccis, love those shots, i want to know more about those people after looking at them.. that to me at any rate is the sign of a good portrait...

I'm just starting to shoot film again. Here are a couple from the last couple of days as I'm trying to dial things in. I miss Polaroid.

I miss it to, Doug, and these are excellent reminders. Beautiful tonality, and beautiful portraits too.
