Mamiya 6MF - first image with the closeup attachment that works surprisingly well and framing is very accurate too. All with the 75/3.5L lens with Fuji Acros 100 / yellow filter developed in stock XTOL scanned with a Nikon Coolscan 9000
Absolutely! Any tips to get the colors where you want them? Or does the Coolscan have a profile for Ektar? I have 7 rolls of Ektar from the 4th of July I need to digitize.

Thanks Mathieu glad you like them :-)
C-41 films are my favorite. I'm going to be getting some CineStill 50D, ISO 50, 120 roll, re-spooled motion picture stuff.
From the same outfit I got some 800T in 120. Supposed to have great dyn range & fine grain.
BTW, I am going to be in Huntingdon, TN form Oct 3 through 5th. Then we will be heading up into Kentucky for a day.
Presently planning to go along the Red River Gorge as we traverse up to WVA.

Don't know if you or anyone else saw this, may still be available but Freestyle Photo has bulk rolls of short dated (still in date) Fuji superia 400.
Land Between the Lakes is just above Huntingdon. Beautiful area, highly suggest the auto tour of the Bison and Elk herds just over the border in KY.
From a trip to Land Between the Lakes during Memorial Day. Wet and rainy. Shot 2 rolls of TriX, should have shot them at 800 or 1600. Had to hand hold at really low shutter speeds, like 1/20, 1/15 and 1/8. Advantages of a rangefinder. Regardless, images were usable albeit thin. Leica M5 and mostly the elmar 90/4 developed in d761:1,

Jon, took a look at my route & this seems like doable change. I've routed through the middle , just before Dover on hwy 70, up the middle 49/463 to Hwy 68. Is that a good corridor?
Yes, that takes you straight through LBL. Beautiful drive. The bison/elk tour is directly adjacent to the road, just follow the signage. A beautiful drive through the park. In Dover is Fort Donnelson National Battlefield and National Cemetary. Also a must see place. Lots of history there. That will be on your route so won't be a detour so much as a respite for taking in history and capturing some images
From my Great Road Trip (4,500 miles) the last two weeks. Camera was a Chamonix 045n (4x5). Film was Ilford FP4+. Lenses were (1) E & HT Anthony c.1880 rapid rectilinear, FL=4 inch f11 (2) Derogy Petzval c.1858, FL=6 inch f4 & FL=10 inch f6.3 when converted to landscape configuration. Photos from Little Big Horn/Last Stand Hill.
4500 miles?! That's a little more than a 'road trip', Kent. That's more like a marathon.
Some exotic lenses you were shooting with there. There appears to be no rhyme or reason for graves placement there? Hope to see that land someday soon.
My great bucket list trip is head north from TX to the Dakotas, turn left to western MT, turn left again down thru Yellowstone, etc. and finally turn left and back to TX. Sure hope I get to make that one. I'll be taking a Chamonix 045-F1 and assorted lenses.

1. I collect & use pre-Civil War lenses (1840-1860.) I have a nice little stash of them.
2. They actually aren't graves. They were originally, but in 1890 the army moved all the bodies to a regular cemetary and just placed the marble stones to denote where the soldiers fell during the battle. The one with the blackened center was where General G.A. Custer fell. There is a trail of these markers from the river all the way up to Last Stand Hill. Four miles to the south there is the second battle site where Captain Benteen & Major Reno made a successful stand for a couple of days, and was then relieved by a column headed by General Terry.
