[LargeFormat] And now in contrast

[Ken Hough]

203mm F7.7 Ektars vary. There are Un-coated ones. The coated ones I've 
seen  all needed a good cleaning to remove the haze between the elements. 
try that.

I wonder whether readers could advise me how to improve contrast when using
old Kodak or other lenses on colour negative film.  This arises because a
friend just tried my 203mm Ektar and compared the result with his next
negative taken with the latest Schneider apo XL  lens.  The Schneider gave a
much more contrasty result, as you would hope, in view of the price.  With
monochrome negative you could extend development or use a harder grade of
paper to gain contrast. I suspect this does not arise with colour negative
but there might be a more contrasty negative or slide film one could use.
