Sage advice. Well stated too.

The one time I used PayPal and Visa on a purchase that went bad, I contacted Visa first and then PayPal. That was not optimal. Once a credit card complaint has been registered PayPal yields all decisions to the credit card. Lesson Learned: Only contact PayPal. One has a time limit to report...

Thank you for the history which I did not know and the status with PN's random walk. Now you have reinforced my decision to expend my efforts to consult and add my knowledge to APUG ==> Photrio.

For a scientific wild ass guess [SWAG] one could start with Sunny 16 as a standard source.

Slow motion mistakes. The worst of those is the falls that older people see in gruesomely s-l-o-w--m-o-t-i-o-n.

And of course such behavior saves the battery.

I rarely look at a screen after taking images. My film experience has taught me to know whether I got the photograph or not without looking.

Unfortunately, there are dishonest people who take advantage of people with money to spend. The other person was just being careful.

Once I started shooting slides when I was 18 or 19, I sent any camera or light meter in for servicing or calibration, respectively.

You broke the code!

If either the buyer or the seller cannot get on the same trust level, then it is probably best if they stop dealing with each other. I have suggested that the seller I am talking to receive and cash my check and then the check clears before they send me the item. I use PayPal and not PayPal...

If one has two or more meters and they disagree in their measurements on scenes and on gray cards, which meter should be chosen to be the standard for all of them? Why?

Welcome to Photrio!

Good point. I forgot to mention that not just for the film but also the tank and reel(s).

Thank you for providing a list of calibration laboratories.

Once I started prewashing I found I had fewer problems with air bells or uneven development.

ROTFLMAO

I last used Quality Light Metric and calibrated all my cameras and light meters. Since then it closed its doors and the owner retired. I have not need one since, however the way I would search, as I had before, I called Samy's Camera on Fairfax and ask for their recommendation. Samy's is next...

. . . and wisdom.

Sean, you know that it is an eBay requirement world wide that one open every box of photographic paper in daylight and expose each sheet individually to sun light, and then post a notice with the advert with photographs on the eBay post?

Great catch! Yes "don't" is definitely missing. The only way to get the two meters to agree is to calibrate them to a know source. Since most of us don't have the...

I too have not had problems mixing dry chemicals by following the instructions carefully and having good ventilation.

That video reflects my knowledge and experience.

Choose the lens that comes to you as the first in your price range in the quality that satisfies you.

That does simplify things for me. Thank you.

Send him to my place and he can use the darkroom as long as he needs to.

The only way to get the two meters to agree is to calibrate them to a know source. Since most of us have the resources, equipment and training, the most expeditious way to do that is to send them to a qualified facility that with the resources and staff, a laboratory that specializes in...

I feel the need to shoot more file while I make up my mind whether CCD or CMOS is better for me. Or maybe I will use my Nikon Z7ii while I ponder. So many choices . . .
