Welcome aboard Phontini from the UK

Lovely range of kit you use - I'd love to have played with 10x8 when I had a darkroom

In recent years, I've been developing negatives with a drum and printing cyanotype contact prints, so no darkroom is necessary.

ph o Toni :)

Rehydrated autumn green maple leaves floating in water
-
A recent photo... Nikon Z7 + helical tube with Focotar-2 magnifying lens, 50mm f4.5 @f11
These are green maple leaves, collected in autumn when they were red.
A few days ago I put them in water to hydrate them. Direct sunlight.

My friend Birna... I followed your crumbs... fantastically colorful
In my first post, I asked for help with information about "IR-compatible" Z autofocus lenses; my eyesight is aging.
Thanks <3
