PMing!

Bump!

I upgraded my 645N kit to have FA lenses, so these two have to go. Pentax 75mm F2.8 645-A Lens This lens has some minor wear externally but shoots well. The focus is smooth and the aperture ring moves with little resistance. Optically, it has some dust but no haze, scratches, or fungus. The...

I refurbished my SLR 680 from Brooklyn Film Camera. I sent a slightly dingy camera someone found in their attic and got what felt like a brand new camera back. I believe they are quite good at their job and am sure they do equally good work on SX-70s.

What state are you located in for pickup?

If I'm understanding this camera correctly, is it designed for medium format film only? Or can one use a 4x5 back in some way to shoot large format film?

I developed some extremely fogged Kodak HIE that expired in 2009 recently using HC110 B. It was awfully fogged to the point that nothing was salvageable in the darkroom. To compensate, for my next roll I added 6 drops of a 1% benzotriazole solution to my developer. Instead of developing at 20...

Peak Design makes a wonderful strap and anchor system. You use these small anchors and can attach them to all of your cameras, and then you can swap multiple straps between bodies with ease. I own the Slide, Leash, and Cuff straps and they've been a joy to use. Slide works for my Pentax 6x7 or...

I own a 35mm f2 AI and previously owned a 35mm f2 AF-D, shooting it only on manual focus bodies. I received the AF-D lens with oily aperture blades and had to get them cleaned. I made some of my favorite images with that lens, but eventually the oily aperture issue came back and jammed up the...

If I've ever had bad experiences with the new polaroid film, it's primarily due to my camera not exposing it properly or the temperature at which the film is exposed. I have had that washed out look occasionally with hot weather. With the right light, I think it can look quite nice. I primarily...

This makes sense regarding soft proofing. Someday when I have my own printer, this will probably be the best approach. Thank you both! This has really helped. I was quite confused and this cleared things up a bit.

This makes sense to me. They don't list which specific Epson/Canon printers they use, so I'm assuming then that they will properly convert the image for me depending on which printer they choose to use for the print.

A favorite photo lab of mine is having a printing sale and I'm hoping to take advantage of the discount to make some high quality prints of some color negative photos. I am having some trouble understanding the proper work flow when it comes to soft proofing, monitor calibration, and ICC...
