Re: wide angle Bronica filmback

["Elton N. Kaufmann - Cycloid Fathom Group" <cycloid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Processed them today.  D76, 10min @ 70deg.  The EI of 50 seems to have been
right on.  The one-stop-under negs are also quite usable.  The
one-stop-over negs are rather dense, but I expect they would print with a
more ethereal feel.  The panoramic format looks great too for some of my
scenes.  I noticed under a loop that a few frames have the odd pin hole.
Does anyone know how these might arise?  The infamous Airey lecture (and I
presume the book?) claims that acidic stop baths will do this.   I use a
plain water stop, however.  She also claims that skin contact (on loading
onto reels?) will cause it too (due to acidic skin oils that some folks
have).  Not likely that I touched the frames where there are pin holes
though.  Any ideas?

 Guess I'll wait for a sunny day to see if the best EI changes as many on
the list have indicated it should.

<I have just yesterday shot a roll of HIE in a Mamiya 6MF with the 35mm
panoramic adapter.  Did it at Cape Cod in lousy weather.  Used an EI of 50
NTTF and a #29 red.
Will be processing next week, but I know one thing - whether the images
themselves are good or not, they will be wide.
