Advice from my Hasselblad repairman who services many cameras, it that he recommends for Hasselblad, and all other cameras, to once every three months, to fire each lens at 1 second [the slowest clocked speed] ten to fifteen times. The advises that one should put that one their calendar...

Happy Birthday Arnold where ever you are.

I have tried many camera bags and camera backpack. Carrying a side camera bag all day throws off my back and has done that for years, so I use a top loading backpack with a waist strap to send the weight to the hips. The camera is around my neck or over one should with its prism and a lens...

There are a number of possibilities, lens wraps are useful for me. I also have several pockets in the camera bag/backpack that hold the film backs.

Welcome to Photrio!

Great work! Congratulations!

All of the Hasselblad V versions are good. Which features you choose are up to you. I choose the 503 CX almost 20 years ago. Not that the 200 and 2000 series cameras were bad, rather that Hasselblad has withdrawn to parts and services for the 200 and 2000 series. The 503 CX could use the...

Photrio subscription renewal. Money well spent.

One can start with 35mm, but more will be in focus than 120 or 4"x5". 4"x5" will be more expensive, but based on my experience be more rewarding sooner.

I use lens wraps and keep the film backs in the camera bag or backpack.

Unfortunately Los Angeles City has not seen fit to go along and allows the urban blight to still exist.

You are attributing actions to me that are not mine. I am a practitioner and I am satisfied with my work. Your last line is well tributed to yourself.

It should run the same way the other Nikon SBx work. Search the Nikon website for the SB-28 instructions.

I use replenished XTOL and the replenished XTOL lasts for years. I replenish at 70ml/roll as specified by Kodak.

Exactly, however should should be considered.

The image quality is reflected in grain smoothness and smoother, continuous tonality improvement, not so major change. There is a slight speed boost which some note, but I sometimes notice a slight better shadow detail.

I agree. I have had superb work done by Carol. Once a lens has been serviced, it can be trusted as a known quality.

I too have never had a problem with shipped film, but it does not cause any problems to have "Film, Do Not X-Ray" labels on the package.

A question is whether a print is worthy of being made. I have some 32"x40" prints made from 35mm negatives. They were printing in a professional commercial darkroom with much higher quality than I could do myself, however only a small number of negatives can be print to that size because some...

Welcome to Photrio! I too have found XTOL amazingly forgiving.

I agree. Shoot at box speed or close to it.

I always enjoy looking at WeeGee's work.

I have as expected found that expanding to digital photograph will cost me about $1100US before taxes to up grade a 13 year old MAC to a 60 processor Mac Pro Tower with full memory and added drives. Film and other costs are a whole lot less.

Buy more slide trays. A slide show can be as long or short as one wants.

One is limited by the size of available print material, limits on equipment size such as tank or tray, illumination by an enlarger, enlarger optics, and quality of the end product's appeal. On the other hand there are more mundane limits including taste and appeal.
