I use a waterproof Paramo darkcloth. Light weight, and very versatile. https://www.linhofstudio.com/products/Focusing-Dark-Cloths-LInhof-paramo-harrison/Paramo_Dark_Cloth

Yes, using swing for architecture is often useful. Here are three examples from me, doing just that: --- by atomstitcher, on Flickr York Minster, Quire & Great East Window by atomstitcher, on Flickr Five Points by atomstitcher, on Flickr

Those were both shot with a Hasselblad 501CM. The first was with the 80mm Planar on Rollei Retro 80S, and the second with the 50mm Distagon on HP5+ pushed to 1600.

Fotoimpex currently have some: https://www.fotoimpex.de/shop/fotochemie/spur-dokuspeed-sl-n-part-a-und-part-b-fuer-10-filme.html It's not a cheap developer though, unfortunately.

I have a few rolls of this myself, but have yet to try shooting any. I have however shot many rolls of Agfa Copex Rapid and developed it with SPUR Dokuspeed SL-N, with excellent results. It may be worth giving this developer a go with the ATP; it is still made and sold. edit: here are a couple...

Beautiful series.

Linhof. I'm still on my first and only one.

I'll give the same advice I always do on these threads: get a Sekonic L-758D(R) and be done with it.

I also use the PM45 (never liked using the WLF much). I have the Acute Matte D 42215 screen which has both the split-image rangefinder spot and a microprism donut. I find focusing very easy with it.

Eclipse cleaning fluid + PEC pads.

The Linhof Technikardan has 50mm rise on both standards.

Yes, absolutely. The 100mm is probably my most used Hassy lens. The 80mm has been gathering dust.

Very nice images. FP4+ and Pyrocat-HD are one of my favourite combos.

The correct formula is CaCl2. Calcium chloride is not a terribly good choice for a desiccant in this instance, because it is deliquescent. i.e. it will absorb so much water that it dissolves itself, forming a thick syrupy solution which will easily cause a mess.

I have a late model of that lens with the black Copal shutter. No spacer on mine.
