Re: High Contrast 3D slides

[P3D Eric Goldstein <egoldste@xxxxxx>]

Dr T asks about lower contrast slide films...

It's generally achnowledged that most 50s vintage optics are 
characterized by lower contrast than modern lens systems. I have seen 
evidence of this with virtually every 50s camera I shoot, 3D and 
otherwise, including coated Leitz, Zeiss, Schneider, etc (albeit some 
are "flatter" than others, and the contrast of the older lenses are much 
more aperture dependant than modern glass).

The classic camera photogs I know look for higher contrast films (and 
development) to compensate. If you're bothered by the high contrast of 
realist chromes, aren't your minolta twin-rig chromes unbearable? Are 
you using prime lenses on your rig or zooms?

Also, one third to one half stop of additional exposure with most 
reversal films makes a significant difference in contrast (and 
saturation). Have you tried rating your Sensia at 80?
