- Calibrated my monitor for the first time and now everything looks yellow??
They'll be off by a bit, yes, but probably less than it feels like right now. Pick a handful of your favourites, look at them on the calibrated screen in a day or two once your eyes have settled…
Post #4, in Editing & Software - Six months printing from the GFX100S II, a few notes
Agreed entirely, and learned the expensive way with a box of Hahnemühle.
Post #4, in Fujifilm - Glen Affric on a very wet day, autumn colour just coming in
Leave the cloud in, but I'd want to see it printed before deciding. A grey sky that looks like nothing on a phone can carry a lot of quiet tone at A3 on a matte paper, and the birches only read as…
Post #2, in Showcase - Polariser on wet autumn woodland, yes or no?
On, but take a tripod, because under a canopy with a polariser and f/8 you'll be into fractions of a second in no time. The Wye is beautiful in October. Tidy spot. Get there early before the car…
Post #4, in Landscape - X-T5 six months on, coming from the X-T4
Agreed on A3. Anything bigger and I'd reach for the GFX, but for a walking camera the X-T5 files are tidy. I printed a set from a friend's X-T5 for a small exhibition in Crickhowell last year…
Post #3, in Fujifilm - Eclipse report from near Teruel, it happened!! (long)
If you print the crowd one, go big and go matte. Strange light like that looks wonderful on a heavy cotton rag, the orange band round the horizon will glow on paper in a way it never does on a…
Post #12, in Showcase - Lab scans vs scanning 6x7 myself, worth it?
I bought mine second hand years ago for a couple of hundred pounds. They hold their value annoyingly well. Buy one with the film holders included, replacements are surprisingly dear, and do give the…
Post #5, in Film - Lab scans vs scanning 6x7 myself, worth it?
For 6x7 I'd seriously consider a decent flatbed before a camera rig. You lose a little sharpness, but you gain a great deal of sanity. I scan my RB67 negatives on an Epson and print them to A3…
Post #3, in Film - A7R VI announced: 66.8MP fully stacked, $4,499. Thoughts?
Yes, those of us who print. I'll happily take more pixels on a landscape that's going to hang at 40 inches, although I'd still choose a bigger sensor for that, as you'd expect from me. For screens…
Post #6, in Sony - Film prices in 2026: what are you actually paying?
Cardiff. Portra 160 in 120, £88 for five. For anyone shooting 6x7 that's around £1.75 a frame before development, and closer to £3 a frame once the lab has had its share. Which concentrates the mind…
