Title: Exposure test patterns
Post by: Gilligan on August 17, 2016, 12:30:43 PM: I know Dan generously gave us a great one here:

But I was wondering if anyone had any other cool ones they wanted to share.

We are playing around with coating and emulsions and exposure times. We have the stouffer strips (sp) and such, but we also like to see pretty "usable" things come out as well.

It's a more basic wedge test version, not sure if that's what you're looking for. - David

it also has fun pics of dogs on it :)

Sounds good. Photo Mechanicals, i.e. pressure rings and grayscales?
