Graflex Scans

Here are some scans from the Graflex photos taken yesterday. The 2 pics are hand held at F5.6 and 1/125. The Tri-x film was exposed at 200 ASA with a reflected meter reading. I might try a 300 or 400 ASA setting next. Film was developed in the Jobo 1/1 (225ml D-76/ 225ml Water) at 24C in a sheet sheet tank at agitation setting #4.

I wonder about the lens lacking contrast, the older Kodak Ektar lens s a bit different to work with for me. The back element of the Ektar was a bit dirty yesterday when I made these photos, I will continue to experiment. Hopefully I can use the Ektar 190mm F5.6 with the camera and do not have to change it out to a modern lens of similar length and speed.
