Topic: printing fuji fb-100c bleached negatives on ilford multigrade paper

[damiand]

I recently bought converted to pack film Polaroid 110b camera. I shoot 2 frames but unfortunatly forgot about bellows factor  and have underexposed pictures.
First time i also bleached negative. Today i decided to contact print this negative on ilford multigrade IV paper. Paper exposed for 4 sec , dodging done on face during exposure. developed in fuji developer.

I am very happy with results.

Excellent result!I'm just scanning mine at the moment (which is such a pain! I wish my Canon 9000 could magically wake up one day and decide to lvl up to a Epson v700  ) . Need to try printing one once i get set up

great work :-)

I converted a 110b, great camera once you get the hang of their bulkiness.

what is bellows factor? change of exposure due to length of bellows? off to google I go!

[Ezzie]

I can't quite see there should be any bellows factor to take into account, unless you try to do macro with it. The film plane may be displaced, but you move the lens end stop back to compensate. So the bellows have the same extension as previously.

EDIT: Bellows factor is when you extend the lens so far out that the real life focal length gets changed. An issue in macro photography, but first coined by large format photographers when using long focal lengths and loooong bellows. But not unlike when using teleconverters. For instance, a 2x teleconverter will require you set f5.6 when the exposure meter says f2.8 (unless of course you have a TTL meter and a teleconverter with electronics, in which case the camera takes care of the calculations)

Wohaa! Very inspiring results there, well done!

THANK YOU

I shoot this picture on max bellows extension I measure light with iphone light meter app ( always correct ) . And both shoots looks like underexposed 2 stops .

I am not share that my shutter not working properly . I'll try next time extand time and see.

But you have to take into account, you can´t have your cake and eat it too. If you expose for the FP100C print, then the negative is at least a stop underexposed. It needs exposing at ISO 50 for best results. Then of course the FP100C print will be overexposed. You might get lucky and be able to use both.

From my experience of shooting with FP-100C the neg has 2 stops more detail in the shadows than the print. This is consistently the case. I rate my FP-100C at iso 125 and it looks very nice. The neg is more like iso 400.
