Re: [APML] Tech Pan lives! (and a newish image)



Great shot, John! And 50 minutes at f1.5 is a long, long exposure. That wratten 92 really cuts down on the throughput but it's obviously worth it! Thanks!

Subject: [APML] Tech Pan lives! (and a newish image)

Thanks to John, Tony and Mike for posting replies to the tech pan question. I will sleep much better tonight! On the other hand, I think that keeping a 150 foot roll or two 'in stock' at all times may not be a bad idea from now on either. I already have a 6 year supply of D-19, as there were rumors of it's demise floating around here a year or two ago.
    To celebrate I have put up a 'new' image (previously unposted) taken on - tech pan! :-) IC1396 ala 8" Schmidt, with nothing more than basic levels and curves adjusted. Comments always welcome. (no dark frame, no bias frame and 17 cents worth of film)
