First of all you should find out which papers are still usable. Therefore go in the darkroom, open each package and fully test each sheet by making a print. When you have finished a package go to the next package and repeat the previous sentence. When you have gone through and finished each...

Welcome to Photrio!

The reflections in the convex mirror in the Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eych and other paintings have always intrigued me with the detail and accuracy with which the reflection has been captured.

I like the variety of red rock texture in this photograph.

The first time I needed to do that, I was surprised by the amount of torque needed to get the shaft to snap in place.

I agree with all of your analyses. The photograph could well be a self portrait.

As one who lived in Rochester New York, I can relate to the reason that George Eastman founded Kodak in Rochester was because Rochester is the World's Largest Natural Darkroom.

Since I move the focusing spot to the alternate focus place and back, there is no focus error. Therefore the focus error analysis is most properly classed as a WOMBAT*. WOMBAT* Waste Of Money Brains And Time. -- a term I learned while working at Kodak in the Harkeye Building.

I have been using replenished XTOL exclusively for almost 20 years.

Correct. I am talking about generalities not specifics. As I stated, using split grade has helped me reduce the amount of dodging and burning, not eliminate them.

Welcome to Photrio! Consider XTOL stock solution used repeatedly for multiple rolls, XTOL 1:1 as one shot, or replenished XTOL which is used for multiple rolls with a long lifetime and the most economical of the three. All are very forgivable, provide fine grain and great sharpness (acutamce).

I would venture the the lens has not been used for a while and the lubrication has hardened. Send it in for an inspection with either any quick adjustments can be made by the repairman or a CLA [Clean, Lubricate, and Adjust]. To avoid this happening in the future, my Hasselblad repairman...

I am just wondering, if you sent the negative out to be printed by a photo finisher, would that count as printing without dodging or burning?

That sounds approximately correct, dear.

When I bought my 4"x5" Speed Graphic around 2008, I brought up flash bulbs for various sized from 5 to 22. Once I got them all stored, I have yet to use any of them.

Welcome to Photrio! Good luck with your Zenit C.

Nice save. May you always be so fortunate with your mistakes.

The only way to really know it to install the ink and try it.

We use couple to mean two exactly and few to mean around 3 or 4. Otherwise we use the exact count.

I use split grade printing of all my negatives and that allows me to avoid dodging and burning most of my prints. Without split grade printing, I was doing a lot of dodging and burning.

The Nikon Z7ii shoots RAW and JPEG. I save both but only use RAW and archive the JPEG.

While that may be true not, the change came too late for my NIkon SB800. I still had to buy a replacement.

I too print 120 strips of film sideways. Separating into individual negatives, produces single negatives which I find are harder to handle that the strips of 3 negatives.

Nice place to go and drool.

Frankly I prefer the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum which processes up to 10 sheets of 4"x5" film.

I now use the CPP2 machine. Sorry, I should have state the the CPA machines are smaller and less versatile.

Welcome to Photrio! The CPA machine uses the 1500 tanks and possible the drums. I have had the CPE and CPP machines and I use the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum for up to 10 sheets of 4"x5" sheet film and the 1540 for 35mm and 120 film.
