Sorry I couldn't do so once it was posted. It should have read: It's usually oil sheiks, princes and the like from the Arab world who order one off titanium and platinum versions camera classics. Whereas for us mere mortals, a bit of brassing on a black M2, 3 or 4 used to be the thing to have, and pay more for. But this Titanium M9 will always appear virginal, however much it is fondled. Hey! .. maybe that's it! This is an editited version of my previous comment. Sorry I couldn’t do so once it was posted.

]]> Comment on Film Test: Adox CHS Art by Anonymous http://www.standdevelopment.com/2011/04/04/test-run-of-the-adox-chs-art-films/#comment-2 Anonymous Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:16:00 +0000 http://www.standdevelopment.com/wp/?p=96#comment-2 I should have noted this, but this image is a good example of exposing for the highlights and matching the stand development to the exposure. The effect is very dramatic, and almost toy-like. With stand development, it is easy to blow out the highlights. In this case, that is just what was being metered.
