A subtlety missed by most. :laugh:

Haist will provide some nice evening light reading, pun intended.

Heck, put it up for sale on eBay and use these words in the description: rare hard to find highly sought after minty

Other points aside, pun intended, you do have good taste in art.

I am no talking about a studio or commercial environment, I am talking about my personal use. You must have missed the now bolded part of my original reply.

Well the start up costs matter to me, especially since the size of the GRBG pixels are so much larger than film grain. But would you please send several liters of what you drink or several kilos of what you smoke?

I have been doing film photography for sixty years. I have all the cameras that I want and the lenses that I want. I have the knowledge to use film cameras, develop film and print film. I have a darkroom and equipment to develop and print both black & white and color film. I can buy better...

New Welcome to APUG Photrio

GAS is the best. What would we do without GAS?

I too use my thumbs all the time for 135 and 120 film, but not for 4"x5" film in the 3010 Expert Drum. I also clip the corners of he film.

My ex-mother-in-law when she got film back from being processed threw out the negatives first thing. When her husband died, she came to me in tears with a folded and worn photograph of him wanting me to fix it.

Darkroom space is expensive and people do not have the luxury of having the space to spare for a darkroom.

At lease they buy and shoot film. Some of them with continue to use film. A few, as always, will be motivated to develop film and a few of them will enter the darkroom. I do not see a downside. When there was only film, very few did darkroom work. Be glad that they are interested.

Street photography lends itself to shooting wider than needed and darkroom cropping. Crop the subject closely and a slight movement will eliminate an important part of the composition.

I recommend the SWC in any form over the 40mm lens, because SWC is rectilinearly correct and much more useful.

Even given perfect technology, there will always be people who do not know how to take a good photograph/image.

Thank you, quite useful.

Me too! I am particular about who handles my junk!

I do not let a stranger take my camera and I would never put the neck strap over their head. Maybe if you had a Rollei, Hasselblad, press camera or a Leica, you would not be so cavalier.

My PME 45 has been working for over then years without a problem, however it cannot be calibrated the the Accumat D screen so I have to set the ISO at half the value. My Hasselblad repairman said the after many years working with the newer models and the instruction manual, it is still too hard...

I use the waxed pages with a plastic cover which allows me to remove the photographs without damaging them.

I use the Jobo CPP2 for black & white and C41 color. I do not need the temperature control for black & white. I use the 3010 Expert Drum for 4"x5". I am very happy with the consistent results. I do not need an automated system, Samys Camera can do that for me.

At those prices send them for CLAs. Call KEH and find out what they would give for an estimate range with parts extra. Or just send them to KEH for a better estimate. Also Hasselblad in New Jersey.

Different animal, but it looks like the Luna Pro SBC/Profisix.

On the left side there are two buttons: one for light reading and one for battery check.

You have a great setup, but now you need to expand your horizons with the 250mm lens, the 903 SWC, and the 30mm Fisheye lens.

Some of the springs in the C lenses are hard to get so repair and maintenance can become a problem. I have two C lenses because the price was too good to pass up. I personally do not like the ergonomics of the C lenses, but as others posted, if you are going to be photographing towards the sun...

Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

After years of hearing "Film is dead.", "They do not sell film any more.", "I heard you can't get film.", this is music to my ears.

Thanks for showing where you hang out.
