The Zone Systems works for slides. It just uses the high end of the exposure range instead of the shadows.

This is a really easy one. Never put a photograph on a computer or the internet. There! Now the photographs cannot be stolen. Glad you asked, aren't you?

+1 You may be looking at digital artifact and their decay on the paper. Show us the film.

HIE and EIR will NEVER be in the queue. Both were heavily subsidized by the US Government to keep and preserve that national asset. To save money in the budget, a lot of money, the support was removed since the intelligence community and the Defense Department determined that the capability in...

Yeah, that one.

From the 1950's a man walks up the a beatnik in New York City and asks, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" The beatnik answers, "Practice, man, practice."

Not exactly rocket science, use a tripod, small aperture, and use the depth of field marks on the lens. Heck anyone who took a photography class in high school would know that. jtk must have slept though that class.

Ringo Starr did it on purpose and bragged about it. He also used an orange filter.

Good for those who do not have the will to do it in one photograph. :tongue:

I am retired so I use cool or cold water, besides I do not like putting photo chemicals in the refrigerator.

First thing I did after getting my Pentax Digital Spot was to put on that sticker. I use it every time I use the Spot Meter.

Whatever that means

Clip the corners of the film. Hewes reels or other quality reels that are parallel and not out of wack.

Put the film in a ZipLok bag, push out as much air as possible, zip and refrigerate. Freezing might cause ice crystals if you have some humidity so I would not recommend that you freeze it.

If I found one other than you mentioned I would use it, but I have not.

When the temperature shortens the development to near 5 minutes, I put cool or cold water in my Jobo processor and develop at the lower temperature.

D'oh! :redface: Face slap! :blink: Stupid me! :cry: I have been doing exactly that for several decades with great results! Now I will have to stop doing that just because Witold said I am wrong! :sad: Woe is me! :redface: I am going sit in the corner! :whistling::whistling::whistling:

The spectral sensitivity and spectral density of PORTRA 160NC and 160VC were the same, by design. The same is true of 400NC and 400VC. Portra 800 is close but somewhat different. <== That is my experience and what is published by Kodak because it was designed and formulated that way...

Last night 19 March California's governor ordered state-wide Stay At Home Order.

Rubber cement can be used to reglue pealing camera skins.

I use stop bath with indicator. It is one of the least expensive photo processing chemicals available to us. If you cannot afford stopbath with indicator, perhaps you should take up knitting, quilting or crocheting.

+1 One 120 reel can be loaded with film and an empty reel on top if one wants to only develop one roll at a time.

Dante's lnferno? You are the optimistic one, aren't you?

In Los Angeles the schools are closed, universities are only on line, restaurants only have carry out [take away], and many business are having the employees telecommuting. Busses and and subways will be kept running, mail, UPS and FedEx are going to stay operating but signatures are not taken...

Use the spot meter to take a light reading of the shadow which you want the details to be printed and set that in Zone 2 or Zone 3 as you prefer and print as YOU chose.

I echo starting with black & white film developing first. I found XTOL very forgiving and produces very fine grain film. Follow the mixing directions carefully and store in five one liter bottles. Use stop bath with indicator. Use either Ilford Rapid Fixer or Kodak Hypo.

OK got it.

Stainless steel tanks and Hewes reels were my go to darkroom equipment for 135 and 120 film for years before I moved to the Jobo system. I got mine from FreeStyle one of this websites sponsors www.freestylephoto.biz

I found that the focusing stiffness was overwhelmed by the superior optics of the CF 100mm lenses.

The rear lens cap is standard. I use Amazon, B&H, Adorama and KEH for buying Hasselblad lens caps.
