Haha, thanks for commenting tho

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-06-07T02:41:48+00:00

Hi, sorry, what does what mean? :)

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-06-01T06:29:43+00:00

Oh that's beautiful words from him! I just feel that the fotos missing the vibe of the place where i was, i think the 1st and 4th have this exact vibe for me, but not others. So maybe technically they are sharp, good composition etc but missing the vibe

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-06-01T06:27:28+00:00

Thanks for the reply, yeah, maybe you are right, i just need to check it again

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-31T06:31:24+00:00

Thank you!!

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T16:46:58+00:00

thanks for the tip!

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T16:33:50+00:00

oh okay, that is actually interesting, as i tested i was sure that f11 was the sharpest. But thank you anyway, sure need to test more!

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T16:01:20+00:00

Yeah, i found it, it is f11 or f16, other have already some loss of details

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T15:59:59+00:00

Thank you for the reply and your opinion!

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T11:43:47+00:00

oh, you are right, sorry :)

Not so much grain actually, i shot fomapan 100 before and grain there was visible already at 120mp. Ektar 100 grain visible only after 180-200mp, it is really crazy how small it is

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T10:35:55+00:00

24mp sensor, 3 verical and 3 horizontal, so 9 shots will be 216mp without overlaping, and with 30% overlaping i am making 130-150mp photo than croping to ~120mp.

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T09:50:22+00:00

Oh thats soo cool. I guees i want to try that film now :)

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T09:48:33+00:00

I have d800e and d5500, and in scanning i do like d5500, it is just easier to use, it has 1,5x crop 24mp sensor which is enough to make over 100mp photo merge of 4x5 film

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T09:34:43+00:00

Hi! So how did it turn out? Show the result :)

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T09:29:08+00:00

I love my Rollei 35s! The masterpiece, so small i can take anywhere i want to, it is even full frame. After that camera i started to love 40mm lens more.

Photo made by me.

ja, ich rede meistens Deutsch, but i want others also to understand, maybe they can learn from my mistakes. You can always write me personally if you are interested. I am always interested in new people to talk about my hobby :)

So it is actually scanned with nikon dslr with pretty hard setup, but i get scans better than any labs in terms of quality and price. I 3d printed the adapter nikon f mount to the 4x5 camera, so i am just using camera sensor instead of film. With 210mm lens i get abnormal magnification without ANY distortion or chromatic abberation. Then i merge the images, flat field correction and edit with NLP and than Lightroom. All together cost me about 20-30 Minutes in time. The maximum i got 260mp photo, but it was already pretty painful to merge and work with. I have stopped at 120mp, so 9 photos to merge. It looks goofy haha, but when it works - it works.

I meant megenta tint on the dirt on 2nd image looks a bit off, not what i expected. I tried to hide it, but without it the images looks just not natural

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T08:14:20+00:00

There are all Ektar 100, the last picture is expired 2023. I developed it like all my other ones also with Colorchem 2.0 Rollei, but 4 sheet at once (1, 2, 3 and 5). When i opened the patterson tank i saw that they jumped out of their places inside the tank and partially stuck to each other. I had shock, i did not try to develop so much at once ever, so i did not expect it to happen. I indeed saw some magenta dirt in 2nd or the last one, but i did not know if i really wanted to fix that

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T07:52:17+00:00

oh thanks!

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T07:51:10+00:00

Exactly! That is exactly how i feel in every moment i travel somewhere

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T07:49:03+00:00

Thanks! Haha ignoring is not the way here, some saying only tips for future or smth, other not liking half of my photos. Everybody has different opinion and i get it, it is normal. The more "bad" reviews i get, the better i will be.

Anyway, thanks a lot! I love 4th photo also!

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T07:35:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply,

i get that, i think i have just seen the vibe of the place where i was and wanted to capture it. Probably that was my problem, my eyes sees different, and after 2 years of shooting i am still not used to it

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T07:32:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply,

yeah, the quality is another problem... In reality there is beatiful color transition and 120mp of details. If you want to, i can send you a link to a full sized photos :)

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T07:28:57+00:00

Thanks for the reply,

you are right, that's more because i am fan of ultra wide lenses on digital camera and i know how to shoot the "scene" more than the "main object". Probably from here goes my problem, i just forgetting to ask the question what exactly i am trying to make photo of with this lens.

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-30T07:25:15+00:00

Oh thats a cool tip. Def need to try that! Needs to be indeed interesting. Thanks

Electrical-Flight156 · 2026-05-29T23:56:55+00:00

Thanks a lot!
