Negative holder for sharp prints from 35mm
Hello,
I'm struggling to get prints from 35mm negatives are satisfyingly sharp. I doubt that it's the camera/lens combination or my focusing when taking the initial picture (old nikon body with manual focus prime lenses). I'm currently printing on paper size 8 x 10” which I believe to be within a reasonable enlargement size for 35mm. (Film; mainly Neopan 400 in ID11). I have been wondering if a different negative carrier may help things by holding the negative flatter. My enlarger is an LPL 7700, and the carrier is has an open aperture where the light passes through the film. I know that negative holders with glass are available, can I please ask if this would be worth seeking out? The glass holders seem to be very expensive for the 7700 and I don't want to unnecessarily buy one, especially if I should be looking at other areas of technique. Any advice would be very much appreciated, thank you. |
