  1. Pleased with the results from my second jaunt with the 4x5. I tried scanning negs in the print file sleeve, which appears to have improved the focus on the scanner as I'm not able to use a negative carrier. I also had to scan each in two strips (V600 is designed only for 135 and 120 negs) and join them in Affinity Photo. Upside: focus improved. Downside: the sleeves themselves attract a *lot* of dust. The attached have been converted down for Mastodon...they don't do justice to the resolution these have. Full size scans are 15700 × 12500.

    The truck picture was a pleasant surprise, it is one of the pictures I forgot to stop down after focusing…I metered a 3 sec exposure at f/22 but fired it at f/4.7 🤦🏻‍♂️ But, the fact that I overexposed by *counts on fingers* SIX STOPS and still got a decent image shows how flexible film is - although perhaps reciprocity failure saved me a bit as well?

    I've got another 16-17 sheets of cheap film left to get a little better at this, after that I have a small box of #IlfordFP4 and a small box of #TriX I'm really excited to try.
