Thanks, Tony! I must try to remember to apply the bellows factor next time. This shot was a bit under exposed as a result. I've added it to my pre-exposure checklist.

Alex, you might already know this-
google "quick disc philipp salzgeber"
Should lead to a PDF which lets you print off a brilliant little gadget to calculate bellows factor.
Very nice shot, by the way! 5x4 will now slowly take over your life.

Thanks, Colin. Good to hear from you. I hadn't seen this calculator before. I will check it out. I'm looking forward to getting out and about with the camera. I'm hoping to be in Ardnamurchan quite soon, so it will be accompanying me. I'll need to get it a wetsuit though....😀

Looks great and no processing problems either which is good news.

Thanks for the comments. I'm hoping this good weather lasts to the weekend so that I can take the camera out and about.

Congratulations for your first contact print, Alex.


Image is a bit contrasty for my taste, maybe because that undiluted ID-11, but subject is nice and tones are beautiful.
