Still getting to know the Chroma Six6. I have made a custom focusing hood from sheet foam which allows me to focus on the GG screen without a dark cloth. The Nikkor-W 105/5.6 is at it's limits of coverage on this format. Very sharp in the middle but not so sharp towards the edges. I expected this so no real surprise and only a very minor issue even for a pixel peeper like me!

Home-developed in Bellini E6 (FD 7'10") with Jobo 3005 on manual roller base, chemistry starting temperature at 40ºC, with 1min water prewash at 40ºC.
(Roller base is not in water bath, but prewash and higher starting temperature of chemistry gives right development for first developer).

Cropped to panoramic; warmed up and selectively desaturated in post for a more wistful feel.
