Do a search on Photrio on darkroom curtains for threads with great ideas and suggestions. I use velco to hold the blackout cloth to the windows and around doors.

Among other things you have no comprehensive how nonlinear color film is and how interlinked the color crossover is. A wise person would have backed out of a discussion which is over their head; you are not and will not. Sadly for the Photrio.

We are of one mind on this.

I have never used the gel filters because I believe that they are too fragile. I have Hasselblad, Heliopan and B+W filters for the Hasselblad with a few Tiffen or Hoya for the filters not made by those three companies.

The best answer would come from a Hasselblad repairman.

Some complain that Hasselblad lenses require more force to turn the focus ring than other lenses. That is the way it is, but just make it part of your physical fitness program.

Meanwhile you are posting here instead of seeing that Adorama has a big sale on Portra 135 and 120 films. Maybe you should spend more time shopping and less time bitching on the web.

I have the filters for the 500mm lens, but frankly I do not use the lens often. Consider that both of those lenses need a tripod, the perhaps the 2XE extender, an orange filters [two f/stops] or a red filter [three f/stops], correction for the Zone System, ... soon you are out of f/stops. On...

Add clear written mixing instructions to each package.

That sounds like a lot of extra work. I spend a few dollars to get five and ten roll black plastic roll holders. Rather than cutting foil wraps with a scissors which I do not carry and are not allowed on airplanes, saving foil wraps, rewrapping foil, ... frankly I have much better things in my...

However that does not keep light from pipelining up the sides of the roll. That is why I bought black plastic 120 file roll holders. The metal ones would do a good job.

For several decades Kodak has not been interested in selling bulk film and always priced it so that it was never much cheaper than package 36 exposure 35mm film. This is nothing new. Just get over it and buy Kodak's packaged 35mm film or switch to a competitor.

Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

Thank you for leaving the film available for me.

Take a 35mm or 50mm lens off a 35mm camera, open up the lens, look through the front of the lens ===> now you have a magnifier lens.

Now is the time to buy stock at fire sale prices.

The reason that you are defending the minority opinion is that you are just wrong. Patents do not tell the whole story. Details are purposely left out so that others cannot duplicate the emulsions easily. Those details are company proprietary information. You do not understand that fact and...

Absolutely right. Add the Nikon N75 to the list with F80 that cannot use IR film.

That has been my observation. People still keep on buy film. For what one gets for film, it is still a bargain.

Use a film camera and just tell them that you deleted the photograph.

I would bet that every one of those photographs on both rolls were perfectly exposed and great compositions.

I use a Jobo for black & white and color for 35mm, 120 and 4"x5". I tried trays and many tanks before I learned that the cost of the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum is worth it because I get consistently great results.

When people get bitten by the photo bug they start looking for things to photograph and stepping out the door and taking urban places to photograph are easy. It is easy to take a snapshot, it takes learning and experience to take a photograph.

Nikon F100 among others

I have bladed 16"x20" 20"x24" easels.

Just shoot a whole roll. Buy cameras from KEH.com because they are conservative in their ratings, they will refund, exchange or repair a purchase.

I had a 4990 Photo for years until it died. Now I have a V850 Pro. It depends on what you are going to use it for.

The movement is within the lens. Nothing to see here, just move on.
