Half-frame cameras - surprising quality?
I've been using enforced darkroom time to catch up on a bit of printing from negs I made a couple of years ago at a FADU weekend get-together in the West Midlands. These were taken on a Fujica Drive half-frame (24x16mm) camera on FP4+ developed in Adox APH09 (an older version of Rodinal). I have to say I'm surprised how good the results are. Although these were only printed up to 5x7in they would hold up on 10x8. I'm thinking of making some images using the camera in 'panoramic' mode - taking 3 shots across a scene and printing it as I would a panoramic made on a medium format camera with a 35mm panoramic back (a tryptich?). This would give an effective negative size of 24x52mm, albeit with 2 2mm frame line across it. So theoretically medium format quality from half-frame!
