Thanks Mattie, Interesting stuff. Can the longer lens be used for 35mm too?
This info could go on a bit, so maybe John could move it to the film section?
Looks like I could get a Durst F60 for less than 50 quid. I think they are good, not sure what it's capable of yet...

Ah yes, we used to do that at college. But I never took any notice of the make or lenses used

Totally on-topic Ralph.
I simply read the gel titles and make a stab at the one I think will balance the light.
I bought one of those gel test blocks and I just rip them out and tape them to the flash.
It was an odd sort of tungsten light, so I warmed up the flash and set the white balance in RAW to tungsten ( I think) may have been fluorescent, but in any case, just experiment.

Thought you might be interested to see how the 77 performs in the field.
I went with the 100 macro, the DA*50-135, but started with the 77 ltd.
I have taken almost all the staff shots for Fine Tubes and a load of macro and product shots, but this series may interest you.
Brief was for a clinical, bright, modern look. I chose to use the large office as my backdrop. It's lit by strip lamps and windows and comes out very yellow and grimy looking if left to the camera.
Here, I used one off-camera strobe, gelled to match the strip lights and reflected off an umbrella. Shooting through the umbrella would have been less precise and risked flare in the lens.
When I only had the K10d I had to fire flashes down the office to light up it up, but the K5 is more than capable of picking up the ambient light and leaving the strobe to light the model gently.
I think the FA77mm Ltd has made a beautiful job of rendering this image. Over the years, I have used the 100 macro and Sigma 85mm 1:4 (least successful), but I'm happiest with the 77.
The job needs to be very quick and not disturb the other staff, so it's a nice little challenge

In the mean-time can anyone offer any advice on enlargers?
I would like to print from 120 and 35mm and I guess it would be nice to go quite big.
Are lenses critical or am I safe with certain brands etc?

Thanks guys I'll pm you later when the children are in bed

Thanks Aleks
Still pondering...

Plenty on fleabay etc. but no rush, so I thought I'd try here first.
Also idly looking out for enlarger etc.
and if you have a load of unwanted film in your freezer, even better

I rather like it
Look good as a canvas, what's the resolution?

The point is, it is academic and confusing in this thread.
I would like to see anyone turn RAW data into anything but an image.
The only pertinent information for the OP is that RAWs have a JPEG embedded in them, thus confusing the issue of Faststone editing RAWs
