Playing with the 240mm El-Nikkor enlarger lens now. F45, 45 sec to 1 min 10 sec. The light changed fast as it set forcing me to stop making images. The last 2 images were fogged, not sure why, same exact problem 2 times. It was over 29C in the trailer, maybe that played a roll. The Silver or the Collodion might have been too hot. I had the developer cooled, in an electric cooler.
I will try to photograph daises with this lens again, possibly on 16x20.
