Interesting thoughts. Thank you for posting.

Good if that gets the results you are happy with. I found that works well for slides, not so well for prints.

HCA can facilitate removing any residual fixer formally know as hypo from the film. That could possibly help the OP with the problem under discussion.

Dittio. I completely remove the paper first and then load the reel or reels free of the paper.

To prevent air bells, I thump the tank several rapid times on a hard flat piece of rubber, carving vinyl from an art supply store, just after filling with each liquid immediately after filling.

For some cameras it does not make sense to look for second party manufacturers: example Hasselblad. For 35mm SLR, I have had a dud from Vivitar prior to Series 1 for Minolta. I have had very good quality on the order of equal from Tamron for Nikon which is/was designed and built by Bronica, and...

Welcome to Photrio! A few photographs would make your questions better understood, please?

Not a paragraph. A distillation of many sources. Alan Ross [studies under Ansel Adams and is the primary printer for the Ansel Adams family] reviewed it carefully with me and agrees that I have it down correctly. The darkroom work goes well and has all the advertised working features.

Hypo Clearing Agent may prevent the yellow staining, not cause it.

I have done some of this and you can only cover the area by renting a car. The time of year will set what you see. Snow for the winter; flowers for the spring; ... what do you want to emphasis? Or do you want to cover the whole year? Which activities are people doing or will it be only...

Are they wearing loose fitting leather cases or acting out in inappropriate ways?

I would expect XTOL, replenished XTOL and all forms of Pyro to produce small grained negatives based on what I have experienced and read.

Have you used Hypo Clearing Agent as a rinse and then wash after fixing?

It looks cosmetically attractive, but will you take the risk to pay what it takes to make it fully operative? That is a question only you can answer.

I was interested in 220 when it first came out in the 1960's. There was always a lack of choices for emulsions, only those for professional photographers, cost twice as much as a 120 roll to buy, process and print. It was never made practical got non professional photographers. DOA from the...

It sound as though it needs a CLA, but I do not know who still works on the Hasselblad 200 and 2000 series. One you get it working again, make sure that you film the shutter at the slowest speed 10 to 25 times with or without film every three months to help prevent sticking.

Welcome to Photrio! I wish I could supply another vendor, but Gerry was the only one I know about. It would not hurt to contact Gerry and see if he will make a set for you.

One can buy a Hasselblad pinhole at https://skinkpinhole.com/wp/webshop/shop/mittelformat/fuer-hasselblad/ or make one. The timing is done with a lens cap on the Hasselblad V Series. For the Hasselblad 200 and 2000 Series, the body shutter many be useful depending on film speeds and lighting.

Hewes, Nikor, Kinderman and a few unbranded 120 reels work well, but the Hewes stainless steel reels are the easiest to use. Still it helps with any reel to trim the corners.

I have not found a good product other than pencil to write notes on the back of a photograph and that is not so good.

Regardless of format, the film roll size is always the wrong size.

Which Hasselblad camera body do you have? If it is the V Series I can answer your questions. If it is the 200 or 2000 series which have a rear shutter and depending on the lens possible as lens shutter. I unfortunately do not have any working knowledge of the 200 or 2000 series. However look...

Thank you for posting your pinhole photograph.

Welcome to Photrio!

The 500mm lens is hard to handhold so I only use it on a tripod.

Welcome to Photrio! Lurk no more. I too have a Hasselblad 503 CX with the 30mm Fisheye C, 50mm CF, 80mm CF, 100mmCF, 150mm CF, 250mm, 500mm C, 45 degree PME prism, and the 903 SWC.

Welcome to Photrio! Welcome back to photography. I too had and used a Minolta SRT202 for years. It would go to Europe every summer whether or not it needed to and typically shot 100' of bulk loaded Ektachome film.

Like most things in life, ones performance and ability is chosen over equipment.

Rarely even when available in 20 or 24 exposure rolls. And the other question about 72 exposure rolls, there were problems in the 1960's with scratching but now many cameras will rewind at 36 exposures, nullifying the discussion.

Shorter is better depending on one's focusing distance, but in the end I got to prefer the heavier weight of the prism for a larger clearer image size and no extraneous light from the sides.
