I frankly have better things to do with my life. I just look on KEH and the items are conservatively rated. When I needed to know the price of a Hasselblad lens from 1963 of which only about 1,500 were built a year, I called up KEH and told them the condition and they told me the price range...

Drive out to New York which will take two or three days, have a few beers, buy a case of them, then drive to your granddaughter and spend winter break with her teaching her photography and film development. Now no excuses, you are retired and have the time to do that. If not now, when?

No, not the Hasselblad Zeiss 50mm and the Hasselblad SWC. Good glass is worth the money.

The last time that Kodak advertised film at the Olympics was 2002 in Salt Lake City. There is no return on the advertising investment for film.

Well there is always someone who did not read the memo!

I had the 65mm, 80mm and 250mm with the Mamiya C330. The 65mm was too close to the 80mm. I would recommend the 55mm, 80mm and the 250mm lenses for the Mamiya TLRs. Correction: 55mm not 50mm, my bad

For wide angles photographs with the Hasselblad, I use the 50mm lens and the SWC [38mm] lens and make sure that the camera is level. That way I do not have the verticals converge.

When I am on a trip or give myself an assignment. Rarely on a day to day basis.

Got it now?

Not so fast John! Something is not Kosher!

I almost always buy EX+ and CF lenses from KEH, but sometimes the prices are just too good to pass up on C lenses. My 500mm and Fisheye are C lenses.

I know. I can really make myself crack up laughing sometimes. :D

Back then real people did not need instant feedback. Today's airheads hold their breathe until they see the image, so they would have just passed out back then. Genes must have changed and people cannot hold an instance in their brains now. Sad. :( So sad :( :(

If you do not want to use a Softar, print through a stocking. If you need to fold the stocking over to get rid of the wrinkles remember to use a lit cigarette to burn holes for the eyes. << wink, wink >>

There are always some losses with teleconverters, but at that price, it is worth it.

Where is the skyrocket? I have been looking at the sky and I cannot find one labeled film? The online and brick and mortar store prices occasionally rise in small amounts.

The backlash comes from people who do not have anything to do but complain without investigating first.

The capacitor is part of a R-C circuit and provides timing and power discharge.

The billboards were portraits, unconventional, not the type we like to see or think about.

No. Film processing in kitchen, dry darkroom [enlarger, light table and print dryer] in one bedroom, wet darkroom in bathroom, camera storage in another bedroom.

My film development is still in the kitchen. Welcome to APUG Photrio

If you credit card is healthy then the VR is for you. Otherwise you wallet may have to do heavy lifting to add it to your camera bag.

One could no help but notice that they actually measured the surfactant!!! The squirters and the drippers are going to go bonkers! The kit contains stop bath, there will be a lot of crying in beer from the anti stop bathers. It is virtually fool proof, but someone who thinks they know better...

If it is offered by KEH, that means that they cannot fix it.

Is the lens properly mounted? Is the f/stop set for automatic operation?

My name is copyrighted so use it with honor and distinction. On this lens, the color on the f/stop allows one to quickly pick out the depth of field line on the lens body. The knurled tube in moved forward and back for zooming. I am guessing that the Macro ring gets turned to the right when...

Congratulations! That just means you wait a little longer between lenses.

But they will service the lens for free after you buy it, if you speak up. It just takes time and shipping cost.

What those "experts" and "photographers" do not know would fill a library. They write fluff for a paycheck, that does not make them knowledgeable.

I meant "Steal me, Please!!"
