I could never afford one myself. I used box Brownies. Lol. But I did try a Russian Lubitell.2 1/4 square. It was great for soft portraits. Hi Cathy. I feel a bit better now. My meds seem to be working, thank God. Thank you Roses. I seem to be on the mend. Hoorayyyy Oops Ray, I just noticed you said it was a Rolli up top. Hi Peter Yes, it was A Rolleiflex 3.5 Tessar, no built in light meter. I had the Rolikin Adapter for taking 35 mm films, and Rollinar proximiters for close up etc. I used a Braun Professional Metzablitz flash, and used to do weddings, and portraits, doing my own D&P including colour. Those were the days. lol My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

They build a very good Twin Lens Reflex, the Mamiyaflex Profesional, with interchangeable lens on two and a quarter square format. I have used one but never owned one.

I used to make colour prints from slides using Cibachrome papers. Really glossy and contrasty. Better than any of the developing and printing houses round here.

Ray Stear Posts: 1930 Joined: 25th Apr 2008 Location: UK	Posted at 15:12 on 4th January 2009 Yes, I always found that the latitude was so small when making colour prints, that even a second or two longer on developing, agitating, or fixing, would give a different result. I could never get two pictures to look identical to each other.Most frustrating! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Peter Evans Posts: 3863 Joined: 20th Aug 2006 Location: UK	Posted at 15:18 on 4th January 2009 The method I used was to keep the temperatur a couple of degrees lower and then I had an extra second or two latitude in the developing time. Well it worked for me, they came out fairly consistent. Edited by: Peter Evans at:4th January 2009 15:19 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
