But the full article including some interesting results from Henning Serger about film resolution is here..

Maybe I actually should drag that Fuji 680gx out to play.  Got a few backs for it, a few lenses.  Got the old Jobo in the basement ....

Thanks for sharing.

May I ask what lenses you used to shoot this?

Thank you.

Cheers,
Bernard

Shooting some T-MAX 100 and Ektar-100 right now, using a Planar 80/2.8.

I have fun with these sorts of exercises.  I find Portra 160 in 120 to be very close to my IQ260.  Same camera & same lens on my tests...
