    If a business has a website that is not a level playing field, just go to another company.

    Landscapes with medium format

    Nice fluff piece with no back up. Did you notice it never quotes a source and sites any back up material? References? None. This is all based on what the author had for breakfast. The he realized if he did not have something for the tabloid he would not get a pay check. Then after stuffing...

    How involved is photo printing on aluminum?

    Take your negatives or digital file to a Costco that still makes prints and order them. I believe that you can send in files online, but I do not know about negatives.

    Great point. I remember that and people were running around in circles, crying their eyes out, shouting "We are doomed We are doomed!! How will I ever sell my knitting needles!" An yet yarns are still available and knitting machines are a smaller market. I will keep on using film cameras as...

    First roll of E100 looks like soft focus

    I also see what appears to be a camera lens that is not in focus. The camera with the lens look like they are due for a CLA. This is not a film issue.

    Negatives affected by humidity

    In the past over my sixty years experience, I found that it is never worth it to buy off brand films. Therefore I stick to major brands such as Kodak, Ilford, Agfa, Fuji, and back in the day Ansco. If your photographs are any good, do not save money on film.

    Kodak stopped advertising during the lead up to the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics because their research showed that film advertising did not effect sales. Prior to that Kodak was an outstanding Olympics advertiser.

    How to freeze open 120 film

    I do not freeze film after the original package has been opened. There is plenty of space in my refrigeration for the film in ZipLok bags.

    End of road for MF/LF...

    Film is not going away any time soon. I prefer to use traditional film development and printing after fifty years of electro-optical systems design and use for space programs such as Voyager, Cassini and others programs. I also have been writing state of the art software since October 1962...

    I had the Minolta 21mm lens for years, great for the right compositions, but not frequently used.

    DOES JOBO STILL MAKE STUFF?

    I paid $300 ten years ago for a Jobo 3010 Expert Drum. Considering the use I have gotten out of it, $600 would not be too much for it.

    First roll of E100 looks like soft focus

    The last photograph shows a very narrow depth of field. Use a slower shutter speed and a wider [lower aperture number] f/stop.

    Advice for my wide angle lens

    I liked the 21mm and 28mm lenses until I got a Tamron 28mm to 300mm AF zoom lens, a Nikon 28mm to 200mm AF zoom lens and then I added a Nikon 20mm to 35mm AF zoom lens.

    New (as of 2019) airport CT scanners

    With the lead bags the image appears as a solid block and that arouses suspicion, leading to a hand inspection.

    Tripod for Hassy 501c

    I use the carbon fiber INDURO tripods which is just as good at the Gitzo and Manfrotto tripods but costs less.

    How does Ilford do it?

    Actually the people here that are advising against squeegees are quite intelligent and used film grade squeegees and had problem with them. Keep on using a squeegee but then do not come back crying in a post about negatives or slides ruined with the squeegee.

    Portra 400 blah

    I guess you missed the point that, except for in my freezer, one cannot find unexposed UltraColor in 135 and 120 film. Would you like met to use markers in the future.

    New (as of 2019) airport CT scanners

    Pack the film in double lead bags and take it with you onboard the airplane. That will force a hand search.

    Current state of US Walgreens/Rite-Aid color processing? Particularly 120 size?

    It helps increase WalMart's profit at film users expense. I responded by boycotting WalMart completely ever since they changed their policy.
