[APML] M16 with Mamiya and E200 + 2 (w/ Takahashi FM60)

["Phillip Jones" <starfest@comcast.net>]

While I do plan to rescan to get rid of the debris, I went ahead and
tinkered with this image to see how it would come out. I shot this with my
Mamiya 645 1000s attached to a 5" APO at F/8. Usually I attach the f/5.9
focal reducer/flattener, but I chose to bypass that component in an effort
to utilize the full focal length of the refractor in hopes of capturing the
central nebula detail. This is also my first time to use Kodak E200 pushed 2
stops. I am very pleased with the results.

Prior to heading off to TSP, I mentioned on APML I was going to try using
the Tak FM60 at the film plane to focus the Mamiya. This seems to have
worked nicely. I have several more medium format images I will be scanning
over the week and hope to post them on APML.
