    Anyone Ever Do Their Own Mounting of Transparency Films? What Do You Need?

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

    TX400 - HP5+ Shootout

    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".

    What is a "giclée" print ... really?

    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.

    Few questions to Luna Pro / Lunasix 3 users

    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.

    Which 120 films dry flattest?

    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.

    "As of 2024, approximately 5.3 billion photos are taken worldwide each day."

    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.

    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.

    Gl690 No sharp images.

    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".

    Rollei film question - Rollei IR400, Retro 400 and Superpan 200 all the same?

    Traveling to Colorado this weekend, any suggestions for shooting film?

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