Case again proven.

Please stand up and take a bow. You proved one of my points.

You said: My tech said ALL shutters should be exercised.

You are making an assumption that my Hasselblad repairman only repairs Hasselblads. He also repairs Nikons, Canons and just about anything else that comes across his desk as long as he has parts for it.

Get the camera light meters calibrated and save yourself a lot of grief.

Of course not because it is already perfect.

So does mine. Do the one for sale is an Acute Matte D screen as advertised.

You are confusing VAT with pricing. That is like saying the same temperature in Fahrenheit is higher than in Centigrade because the number is higher. Maybe the UK should stay in the EU.

Mine is. So definitely a maybe possibility.

Understood

Exactly

Now you are just being logical. Stop it and act like an adult.

Again still not chimpin'

Time for me to pile on: I 'never had that problem'. :angel:

Exactly RTFM. That is why I do not need no stinkin' Film Development Cookbook.

Polaroid was used to check lighting, in particular artificial lighting. Again not chimpin'.

Replace skill with technology.

Also one does not need to chimp if one learns to anticipate the action. This is why good film photographers do not need to chimp and they are used to waiting for the film to be developed.

And that is exactly the same problem. I had the same problem with an LF lens that the repairman fixed and the pointed out needed the same exercise that the Hasselblad lenses did.

I am going to give my F100 a hug today.

If water is such a great stop bath, why is Kodak, Rollei, Agfa, Luminere, Ilford, ... spend so much money on R&D and production of stop bath? I guess that all of you dilettantes know more than the film experts at those companies. That is good to know when I read your recommendations and...

Without the digital revolution I would not have been able to have a 4"x5" Pacemaker Speed Graphic, 4"x5" Graflex Model D, a Jobo processor, full color and black & white darkroom, Hasselblad 903 SWC, Hasselblad Fisheye lens, and many formally expensive lenses.

If one does not test fire on a speed [T, B, 1, ...] occasionally then over time there is a risk that that speed may not be available or work correctly when needed. The Hasselblad repairman that I use recommends that at least 1 second be fired ten to fifteen times every three months for all...

The digital revolution has made it possible for me to have Hasselblads.

Again not chimpin' but the best use of a tool's ability.

It is great for lining up horizons and verticals.

And that makes all the difference.

That is what I have used for many years.

I always get a laugh out of rank amateurs thinking that they know more than the film manufactures.

Good question, many of us are too busy with real things to do so we do not bother with stand development. Besides we like good consistent results. If your photographs are not worth anything and you have time on your hands then it could possibly be worth you time. But there are so many good...
