Hello Maya, congratulations for your portraits; I recently bought a Mamiya 645 lens Mamiya Super-Sekor f2.8 80 mm. I made some shots and we say that with respect to the quality of your shots, mine are pathetic. Now, I expected to be honest, the results similar to the ones I see here but ... Your portrait in BN (done with my car) as well as wonderful an incision and has a great light, that is what I I expected - with a smaller figure - to find in my shots. I see that you used ISO 400 film and perhaps the medium-large grain sharpens the clarity (it took me very slow films 50, 100, 125 ISO). I doubt it's just that. In addition to your indisputable talent, more than evident, maybe there is something that I could do to get the best shots? I do horse racing which is better?
PS snap for yearsdigital and 35mm with results rather than discrete, but I'm average size just do not get ... I knew that frustration ..!
Help !! :-(

Hello Kidclaude,
Thank you for the compliments, I hope I can help. Using generally Ilford HP5 plus they have a beautiful grain, but from here to say that it helps there goes a little. In the sense that if anything, the grain makes shooting less clear; what comes to mind is especially exposure: expose a viewfinder prism viewfinder? An external exposure? A light incident or reflected? And above all: how to develop the film? The HP5 is quite opposed to her, to the point that typically 15-20 seconds shorten the development phase. Returning exposure if shooting film already know that you have a much wider exposure latitude of digital and that is more permissive: hard highlights are blown; you can safely expose for halftones and be sure to keep the right details ISTogramma. You can expose the lights and have deep blacks and pasty. The choice of light is of course important, but the film is very tolerant even artificial light which (obviously) does not suffer the color temperature. Last foregone is important tip: eye to micro moved. I know that a 80mm lens. of average size is equivalent to regular, then a 50 mm full frame. Eye shutter speeds: 1/60 does not protect from me removed, often because of lack of perceived sharpness.
Finally with what you're scanning the negatives? Keep the actual size of the negative, grayscale, 16-bit, and 1200 dpi, this allows you to have file rather good without becoming mastodons of more than 500 Mb. I use an old Epson V500, with the parameters that I wrote I get files from about 10mb. I hope I have helped you in some way, if you need contact me when you want!

Max.

Use the wievfinder AE Metering set to measure "spot" and "weighted average". I try to expose for the shadows (as taught by Ansel Adams) and develop for the highlights (as indeed you do, shrinking development time in the tank. I mold CO negatives. One question, the wonderful portrait of Maya, is in natural light? I seem to see a catchlight that would almost think of a beautydish front. But cwow! ow you have exposed? On the face, the hair? I am struck by the intensity of the picture and the beautiful chiaroscuro enhanced by - in fact - sharpness the textures of different fabrics (coat, pillow under his arm, plaster jamb). In short shooting PERFECT !!. Bravissimo really.
It was just to see if my camera being homologous your can somehow approach shots like that (or better if I nand my little I can aspire to improve myself)
Again congratulations and thanks
Marco

Hello Marco!
The light is the natural one of a window and the catch-light is no more than ... the window! :)
For show and talking about Adams, coincidentally the balcony of the sofa was a red as to be comparable to zone V, exposing there all fell into place. I can advise you to check the prism viewfinder AE, compares its measurement spot with a modern camera or even better with a good exposure recently, obviously reflected light: the light meter of mamiya has his years and it is said that the cell is in full of its efficiency. What I noticed though is that if you expose on the light side of a face, the brightest part of the Caucasian skin, get excellent results, that the skin is not underexposed as if placed in zone V, it seems to remain in zone VI. Maybe- And is the most likely thing, it tends to overexpose a little. Thanks again for the compliments, I remain at your disposal. By the way: have you ever had problems of ghost light on the frames? If in bright scenes were comparirti 3 crescents on the long side and bottom of the frame just let me know, it is something on which I fought a little, but is easily solved!

Max.
