That is still worth it over digital IMHO. The other week I dropped by to a local and very good quality print house. They had a few prints on display, made by a very skilled master printer. Simply out of this world. However, they also had quite impressive digital prints as well. Will hopefully drop by again to have a few of mine printed as well. I believe the reason why we don't really see such impressive prints is that printers, just as digital cameras, have become too widespread and everyone is simply going after the cheapest route. A good workflow, with a good printer and good paper is capable of producing breathtaking results but not many people really take all the effort. In the meantime, I can hear a Nikon FM3a begging for some Kodak Tri-X. Could that be yours?

Erring towards Ilford's 50 ASA B+W ...but I realize that not having a B+W printer.....Hmm...if I go B+W I limit myself to having the printing done at a lab... Maybe colour scanned....Extar? Oh it's late...

For the Mamiya, I always liked HP5+ and exposed at 200..320 ASA the grain remains tame on 120 film. My last roll is less than 10 years developed. "pointless" is the main heading. |
