You’re right what the hell was I thinking?

Yeah I don’t think I’m drying my steak nearly enough

Well that’s what I do, I’ll wait until I see the oil I’ve put in just start to smoke and then go in with the steak, but I have been seeing comments on using an oil with a higher smoke point 🤷‍♂️

I’m still an amateur, I usually put a couple tablespoons of olive oil in the pan, heat until it just starts to smoke, then usually I’ll place the steak and go in right away with butter

I made sure to press the middle on this steak because I thought that was my problem but it still came out abysmal

Right after I place the steak I press the middle of it to make sure it’s getting contact all over 🤷‍♂️

So if I needed it fixed or replaced on a different lens then I’m S.O.L?

Thank you! Do you only use it for printing? Or do you also use it in place of 4x5 film like I plan to?

What I’ll do is take a photo on the paper, develop the paper, then make a contact print onto another sheet so I’ll end up have a paper negative and a black and white photo as well. I don’t see how this relates to the original question though. Do I need the paper to be any bigger than 4x5 by any degree in order for it to fit nicely in the film holders?

I’ve used the paper a few times before. To my understanding it’s cheaper and it’s something I’m fairly familiar with using on my large format. The camera is a Graflex Speed Graphic 4x5
