I-26m, Not 3 lenses

[mike goldberg]

Hi All...
I Deleted "A Better Test" before it happened; the table shots with an I-26m, I-61 l/d and J8 are overexposed. Looks like I've got to check out my Gossen Luna Pro... OR the way I'm using it :o

Anyhow, the outdoor late afternoon pix on Tmax 400+HC110b, metered via sunny 16, look good. There is NO editing on the attached Thumbnails:

Sherover sign f5.6

Raven silhouette f22

Sculpture f8

This was a first use for the $22- Fed-2c, which handles very well.
Cheers, mike

next time with ISO 100 and wider apertures.
Cheers, mike

Mike,Brian;
How about posting some available light photos ;) w/your I-26. I have
one coming to me soon. Curious to see how well this lens will perform.

Mike, from the pictures it seems like you have a problem with the shutter of your FED... Did you notice how the right edge of each frame is a bit darker? This might mean that the shutter curtains don't travel at the same speed and that the second curtain is running faster than the first. Check all your negs, and if it's present in all pictures then it's as I said. Repair is simple: either increase tension of first curtain, or decrease tension of second curtain, but first check all your negs - I might be wrong.
