You are showing your age, I thought you were a twenty year old that had never seen a darkroom.LOL

-your “print handling tool” is actually a mixing rod for mixing dry chemicals and water!

You have a good eye, nice slide show!

Have you looked at filters made for the film & TV industry? From my days as a set photographer for shows I was impressed at the quality of the equipment they used. Much better than made for photgraphers. But they did cost more generally but were excellant.

I agree fixing in post doesn’t always work. But rather than spend a lot of time and money on some things that I’ll likely never fix I’d rather spend my time making photographs. Things are always changing in the world of photography, equipment, expenable supplies, sources. So I just move on...

In my experience you will never find the perfect version of anything. So you adapt or try new ones hoping for the best. In regards to filters and color shift I’d just go with a system that works well with my lenses and fix any shifts in post.

That might be to much weight for a hot shoe to handle. A magic arm on a tripod, if you are using one, would be better. Also there are some reflectors made that allow wind to go through them that are more stable then a piece of cardboard. And the suggestion made earlier of a stand dedicated to...

/when I was looking to buy a 3D printed camera a year ago I looked at Chroma and liked them. But went with another company,CCB, because they could deliver quicker. Most of these 3D printed cameras come with metal 1/4-20 tripod mounts so any sort of tripos mounting is easy. I haven’t researched...

I think there is another aspect in the digital vs film debate. I began serious photography as a teenager in the 1960’s back when there was only film. As the years went by I moved to digital when the digital process began to rival film quality in the ‘90’s. A few years ago I went back to film...

I did, but they don’t stay rigid 10-15 feet out.

I looked at some golf and hunting lasers, none that I looked at measured close enough. I also have a Bosch Blaze Lazer that I use with a larger 6x17 camera that I use on a tripod. The Bosch is made for outdoor use, has a red light, and has a zoom lens and LCD screen to aim the laser.it’s range...

Just sharing

I have a 6x9 3D printed camera. I wanted a quick and accurate way to determine focus in the range of 3 to 15 feet or so. I am hand holding the camera and wanted to keepeverything simple, easy to carry and use, small and light. I have a very good Bosch Measuring Lazer with a built in lens and...

The 90 I mentioned is very light and the diopter is a plus. I’ve tried the 45 before and preferred either the folding hood, chimmeny, or the 90 I mentioned. The others I found too bulky and sometimes too heavy. As far as metering I’ve always preferred hand held incident or spot meters to built...
