    Portra 400 blah

    See if you can find any Kodak UltraColor 400 film, it puts Ektar to shame.

    What is the rarest camera/lens you own?

    The " indicates an acronym or it is phonic for a word in another language.

    How does Ilford do it?

    My squeegees do not scratch my film because they are not used on the film, instead I use them to get excess water off the prints. I place the wet prints on a sheet of window glass and use the squeegee to wipe the prints before I put them in the dryer.

    Color Film For Pinhole

    I put a pin hole on my Nikons and shot with color negative film. No problem, just calculate the time for the exposure.

    Is it okay to change the push processing when the roll weren't finished.

    Probably not. It is within the range of exposure latitude, but they may be some loss of detail.

    Decisive moment

    With HCB's experience, I believe he got exactly the moment he wanted. Much the same as I do. This is not a problem for good experienced photographers. Why is this so hard to believe?

    Nikon f100 with sigma lenses?

    I only have Nikon and Tamron AF zoom lenses, and have been happy with them for seventeen years.

    How does Ilford do it?

    I do the same but without the squeegee. Ditch the squeegee and avoid scratches and marks. Instead use a paper towel to draw off the excess fluid from the lowest corner of the hanging film.

    Small digital meter?

    Quality Light Metric in Los Angeles charges $88 per light meter plus shipping. I drop the meters off and pick them up a few days later. I had one calibrated but it had nonlinearity that he told me about, so when I sent it in about a year later asking for the nonlinearity being measured...

    Small digital meter?

    You need to send all the meters to be calibrated by the same person. I can recommend someone in the US, but I do not know someone in the EU to do the calibration.

    Is it okay to change the push processing when the roll weren't finished.

    Two stops is within the exposure latitude of color [and black & white] negative film, so change the ISO and develop normally. Some shadow detail may be lost. If it had been slide film, then there would be a problem and the roll would have to be developed longer. Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

    Decisive moment

    Except that video eliminates any timing skill of the photographer. Hence using video dumb down "the decisive moment" to idiocy.

    Small digital meter?

    I use the Sekonic L308-U for travel unless I need a spot meter and then I use the Pentax Digital Spot Meter.

    NIKOR versus KINDERMANN versus LPL stainless steel tanks

    I use the Hewes reels and the whatever-brand-that-FreeStyle-has stainless steel tanks. Nikor tanks have metal lids and the FreeStyle have plastic lids.

    How does Ilford do it?

    The humidity is too low. Hand the film in the bathroom and run a hot shower to relax the film.

    No Love affair with Digital (Thread moved)

    The last time I checked one still does not need a license to use XTOL nor pyro developers. No annual fees either.

    My first roll of TMax in 25 years, and...

    Tmax has a nice long straight curve, good reciprocity and very fine tabular grain, but I still prefer traditional grain films.

    Decisive moment

    The answer is "No" because the decisive moment is about taking a photograph, not a movie or spraying photographs with either a burst of shooting negatives or images. There is nothing decisive with either of those. Capturing the decisive moment is about developing the photographic eye, skill...

    Yes, the train left the station and sailed down the track only to sink in the bay.

    The uncropped version is much better. It give the curved railing space to gain momentum before the eye gets to the jogger.

    LENS REPAIR

    For myself, I would either use it as a bookend or paperweight and buy a replacement that is in much better condition. I would rather replace something like that than spend time making a less than perfect repair.
