Thornton's 2-bath homebrew

[Katastrofo]

It'll just be the shipping, might be some other stuff I'll include in the
box. I ALWAYS send flate rate priority so I don't have to worry about
weight.

Wow, that is so kind of you. I must send you something in return sometime, so if there is ever anything you need from the UK or EU, you know who to ask.

[Katastrofo]

Sure, Ian, I'll send this out next Monday. PM me your address.
Gives me time to find a strap for the camera. Also, all lenses
in the C-line fit, including the blue dot. One nice thing Mamiya
did.

[iangreenhalgh1]

Wonderful, so grateful.

Is the blue dot better that the normal version? The C3 I shot had a blue dot 80mm and the results were good and sharp.

[Katastrofo]

Ian, it is said they are better, definitely better coatings, better contrast.
I find the old chrome ones with amber caoting worthwhile, tho. Mamiya
knew a thing or too on how to build a lens.

This another TMAX roll using Thornton's on the same cam/lens combo,
after fixing the fstop ring, boring test pix:

@f8


and wide open @ f3.5 if I remember correctly


both are uncropped, gotta love that long bellows for close-ups!

[iangreenhalgh1]

Those are great results imho.

Thanks for the info about the blue dots, I'll keep an eye out, a 55mm would be nice to have.

[Katastrofo]

I thought I'd faved a flower close-up using the 55, will give you some
nice macros!
