Brilliant work with the 400X @ 1600 shots and with the xpan Nate, you have a good eye for panoramic composition I'm going to start using NCPS on your recommendation, and out of necessity since no one in Australia processes 4x5 for any kind of reasonable price.
Dan, thanks. Panoramic is sort of the way we see naturally with our eyes so sometimes things just fall into place correctly.
Please tell NCPS I sent you and I'm sure you'll be happy with their service. I just sent them 42 rolls yesterday from Korea.
WOW. Wonderful Panos ... you are pushing me into looking at that xpan again!!!!! I have a thing for panos - must be as you described, just the way my eye naturally flows. As do your images.
Soft, hazy, dreamy and with little contrast, but I still love it! It gets much better at
f/4-8, but if I want razor sharp images, I'll just use my D700..
I need to get myself a proper scanner though, to see the real potential of this wonderful lens.

Yes - these are LOVELY!!!!!!
So, the frontier is not a good scanner? Isn't that what lots of great labs use? I have read that many prefer the frontier over the noritsu! Or am I thinking of something else...
TWOK - THANKS! your images are all amazing and inspirational.
I used to work in one of the better labs in Oslo, Norway, and there we used a Frontier.
The problem as I saw it was the automatic adjustments it applied to the pictures, be it color, contrast, sharpening and such. When we needed better quality without going to the dedicated Nikon film scanner, we used an Epson flatbed with film scanning capabilities.
And that scanner blew the Frontier out of the water, and to me that says a lot.
Somehow, I ended up with a Pentax 67 this weekend so here's a shot from it of my son and a friend he met at a reptile rescue place.
SMC Pentax 45 lens, Arista EDU 200 (Fomapan) - outdated, old film I had on hand. Anyone have suggestions for a fast B&W film replacement for my beloved TXP 320 as Kodak seems to have discontinued it last year?
Cgiff, I love your Mamiya 7 shots! What lens do you use?
----------------
I just tried my first roll of Kodak Tmax 400 with the Pentax 67II. The results are good, but I think I prefer "traditional" film, such as Tri-X and HP5+...
