I always use 35mm test strips before I use a developer. It is a better why to learn that the developer is going or gone than blowing a roll of time to find out.

With a TLR it is worth it.

Edges, focus on details, repeated patterns, using a longer lens than wide angle such as normal are several ways to fighting chaos.

The 1000f is an older camera and you will have problems getting it serviced especially if the body shutter needs work. Of the two the 500ELX would be a better choice unless you just want to collect classic old cameras.

I prefer that the slides come mounted, however if they were not or a crop was needed, I mounted the slides, preferably in glass.

We violently agree and prefer Tri-X 400 over HP5+. On the other hand Tri-X 400 is not available in 4"X5" and HP5+ becomes the default for 4"x5".

Even the top or the line giclée print will never have the feel or the look of a single or double weight silver gelatin print.

Oh, I didn't know since I was not alive then. You are even older than me.

Two memory thumb drives, 256GB each from B&H and at no cost because I won $50 credit on a previous purchase during a sale period.

That would be wonderful, but I will not hold my breathe.

And neither is HIE.

I thought that my Gossen Luna SBC was eating batteries until I figured out that the meter switch was being poked and bumped in the camera bag. I started packing the bag so that nothing could hit the switch when laying still or being carried, at the light meter stopped eating batteries.

You are letting the films get too dry, so they tend to curl. If you hang film to dry and a shower stall after a steamy shower, the film will not completely dry out and it will lay flat.

Search FreeStyles website, I have purchased single roll 120/220 plastic film containers from them.

Great project and now to see more of the Frankenstein camera's photographs.

In the end you have made wonderful progress.

I was not familiar with Sebastião Salgado. His work looks quite interesting. RIP.

Avoiding the question of the breakdown between film and digital, I wonder about photographs taken for serious photographic work versus casual photographs such as snapshots.

For black & white films the contrast can be controlled by using color contrast filters such as yellow, orange, green, blue, red and polarizer filters.

FreeStyle has plastic containers that hold 120 and 220 film. https://www.freestylephoto.com/112086-Japan-Camera-Hunter-120-Film-Hard-Case-Olive-Holds-5-Rolls-of-120

Nicely done infrared photograph.

Never force anything/ Always check the camera and lens manuals and instruction. Take it to a local camera shop if one still exists in your area. If necessary ship of KEH.com, if you are in the US or other camera repair facility.

One this topic we are in violent agreement. I have designed and developed very successful large scale AI projects and what is seen by most of AI has not been developed with guard rails and little thought to the ramifications of the suit of "learning examples".

Mamiya C family of the TLR have a marker that shows the parallax compensation.

A quick search of the internet will show that each film is different and each photographs differently with different filters.

Great news! Winston Churchill photograph returned.

Consider using an Orange filter too for the black & white film. And a polarizer for black & white and color film.
