[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Neil, In "Leica Darkroom Practice" there is the following table for Multigrade II. How this affects IV I don't know, because the filter values listed here are different than what Ilford lists on it's sheet. But FWIW here are the values. I'm in the same boat as you btw. I'm doing test strips to work it out, starting with white light base. Feel free to Email me off list if you want to chat! Gradation,Filter(Y,M,C),Filter Factor 0.0,(120,0,0),3.0 0.5,(90,0,0),2.5 1.0,(60,0,0),2.0 1.5,(40,0,0),1.7 2.0,(30,0,0),1.6 2.5,(15,0,0),1.2 3.0,(0,0,0),1.0 3.5,(0,15,0),1.3 4.0,(0,30,0),1.7 4.5,(0,90,0),2.0 5.0,(0,200,0),3.0 Hope that helps. Maybe best to ask Ilford how this related to IV. It seems most of the discussion on the list is Digital printing these days... ;) Hook cast, line set.. <G> lol Cheers, Neil - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Beddoe, Neil Sent: 25 March 2002 08:51 To: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: [Leica] Focomat colour exposure changes My M6 having failed to turn me into a better photographer (I managed to kid myself that it would), I've bought a Focomat V35 so that I can fail to turn myself into a better printer. I've yet to do any printing with it as the lens is at Leica UK having its internal fungus removed (does every Focotar have floral display on one of the internal elements?). I've trawled the web, but I can't find anything about the changes in exposure required when changing B&W grades using the colour head, I've got the settings required but no idea of how these will affect exposure. Does anyone know where I might get figures for exposure changes using the V35 with Ilford Multigrade IV paper? I've got the option to buy a multigrade head and I wanted to know whether it was worth it. Neil PS. My spell checker suggests "Forcemeat" instead of "Focomat", I think I might start using that instead. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
