Last week, I went out to go shoot some 4x5 FUJI instant film (FP-100C 45 to be exact). We were using a 5ft softbox and trying to nail down 1 lighting set up before our battery packs died (lesson learned - full charge before you leave). This shot was taken on a Toyo 45CX with a Rodenstock 210 f/6.3 lens. It was shot @ f/16 @ 1/400th of a second and the softbox was 4ft to the subject's right @ 1/2 power on a 1600w/s Alien Bee head. We shot the instant film, went back to my house, bleached the neg, scanned it, and then printed a 16x20 print from the neg on my Epson 3800. All in under 1 hour.
This may go down as the geekiest post ever on this blog...

Very cool. I also love the instant gratification aspect. You probably couldn't have done it much quicker with digital....and, it wouldn't look half as good.
Geeky? yes. But, Oh so good.
looks like a painting...awesome...

This looks outstanding. And you've gotta be grateful for the Bees. Inexpensive, but gets the job done.
I want to be you when I grow up.
