Light Distribution Test as suggested in the latest issue of #darkroomundergroundmagazine for my 4x5 Enlarger (Liesegang Rajah 5 with DIY LED Head. Picture doesn’t fully show there is a bit of fall of to the edges of about ¼ to ½ Stop. Might be further improved by adding some reflectory material below the diffusor. But there is little space for this and i am more concerned with light leaking off side of the negative carrier. I do customary burn in for the edges anyway (might add a ¼ stop more). #analogphotography #darkroomphotography #4x5photography #diy #liesegang #enlarger

Working on a (test) print with a different Enlarger lens (EL Nikkor 2.8/50) which appears to be better at resolving fine details. At f=5.6 exposures of (base 10) +7/4 for grade 0 (=36 seconds) and (base 15) + 7/4 for Grade 5 (=51 seconds); followed...

At f=5.6 exposures of (base 10) +7/4 for grade 0 (=36 seconds) and (base 15) + 7/4 for Grade 5 (=51 seconds); followed by burn in of 9/4 for grade 0!(=108 seconds) and 8/4 for grade 5(=154 seconds); burn in for borders a ¼ stop for each side and grade. Next up samecwith Componon S 2.8/50 for comparison. #analogphotography #darkroomphotography #darkroomunderground #elnikkor

Burn map for the print: base 3 means test strips with three seconds base exposure followed by ¼ stop increments for both grade 00 and 5 for manual Splitgrade. Gave me (fresh developer yay!) 4/4 stops exposure for grade 5 and 00 each. Some burn in on the highlights in three of the quinces (¼ stop each) with grade 00; burning the edges in ¼ stop each with grade 5; burning in the distracting bright right hand corners high and low with 8/4 stop (both done together). Ilford Multigrade IV FB Matte (mk5) in Adox Adotol konstant (fresh) 3 minutes. #analogphotography #ilfordphoto #darkroomphotography #4x5photography #splitgradeprinting #darkroomunderground
