I recently received the Pentax 67 135mm f/4 Macro lens. The lens close focuses to about 1:3, nice, but nothing to write home about in the macro department. Still, the imaging is pretty good.
I\'m still fighting, or learning the limits of film, where it comes to resolution and detail. Same goes for developers (labs), where each seems to have its own spin on things.
The two rolls shot recently were processed and scanned by North Coast again. The \"enhanced\" scans only make JPGs, not TIF or RAW. As a result, I haven\'t done a lot of PP, but there are adjustments to sharpening, noise, WB, and exposure. Nothing major, just attempting to get it looking closer to what I\'d like. Overall, the scans come back seeming a over-saturated and a bit too warm -- sort of like hitting the vivid setting on camera produced JPG -- not my favorite.
This post is in regard to the 135mm Macro, the next will feature the 165mm, including use of ext tube to get closer focus.
All shot on Pentax 67II, Ektar 100 (120 film), wide open f/4, at around 1/1000 sec, hand held.
This first shot is cropped to about 1/2 the full frame.
Besides the regular PP, these others are only slightly cropped and/or straightened.
