This is wonderful Ed.
For a 6x7 shot, that's fairly clean dust wise. On a bad day they can look like the inside of a hoover bag
Crikey...the worst of mine isn't as bad as that snow globe effect you've got going on there That's encouraging though I think I'd still be best getting some storage sleeves for the other rolls of film I'll be wanting to develop soon.
A few I've been happy with recently
Here's a shot from the first roll of film I put through the RZ that didn't get trashed either trying to load it into the dev tank or was loaded onto the spiral incorrectly so that the layers were touching. As I already knew there were no shots on the roll that were worth getting excited about I didn't bother with using a sleeve to keep it in etc although I did check it and removed any dust I could see on it and the scanner glass. Is the level of dust/marks typical from home dev'ed film that's had no PP work to clean it up?
Tim, I love your people (and dog!) shots. Are these all done with a Mamiya TLR and 80mm lens? Do you do your own scanning?
Nice portrait that Chris,
The dust is about typical i reckon ...certainly on a par with what i usually have to fight with....If you happy with it then that's all that matters really.
I printed off the RZ manual from internet...had a skip read and a bit of a play the on monday but need to study more when I can get my head around it before I run some film through it
Thankyou very much
Yep, these were done with a C3 and the standard 80mm lens I also have the 135mm lens but it just sucks compared to the awesome 80 :nuts:
And yep all scanned using Epson 4490 with epson scan.
check out my website, there's loads more on there that are pretty similar

Unfortunately the C3 won't be getting much use from me anymore as there's an sq-a turning up on my doorstep tomorrow but it's definitely the best camera I've ever used and was only £100! I just find that with my closeup work I need the precision only an SLR can offer.
I must say, whilst the composition of your photo you posted breaks pretty much every rule something about it seems to work for me, The contrast in textures and light and dark work really well
Hi Kev, I have to say I really like your second shot there. I can't quite put a finger on what exactly draws me in, but I think it is a really nice picture!
Nice Kev like the first one best
You would swear blind in the first one, that the crane is actually on the ship.
Osh...Kev
Nice work..love 'em.
