    Which iso film roll?

    Welcome to Photrio! First of all I recommend using a tripod and using any film shot at box speed. Forget pushing and pulling. I have been using this available light slide rule since it first came out in 1963. http://www.southbristolviews.com/pics/Cameras/JiffyCalc.pdf

    Survey: Can we repair the electronics of photo devices ourselves?

    That is so true and the more experience one has the harder it is to start the task.

    Survey: Can we repair the electronics of photo devices ourselves?

    As noted above even with access to electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes, frequency generators, etc, one needs circuit diagrams, repair manuals, and spare parts and without them the chances of repair are limited. Even having an Electrical Engineering MS cannot overcome the absence of...

    Scale focusing

    Using the depth of field scale can help if 1) the depth of field scale is on the lens and 2) one is willing to use smaller apertures to increase the depth of field.

    Why are (some) bulk loaders expensive?

    When I bulk loaded film, it became at a loss for me when the photo processing labs stopped returning my 35mm cassettes.

    First Time Using 120 Gold 200, Portra 160, & Ektar 100

    I too like punchy and fine grain. I standardized on Kodak Portra 400 in 135 and 120, which is close to Kodak Porta 160 with that extra speed than helps keep the tripod folded up. Maybe I too will do some testing.

    Black and White Films With Two Emulsions

    Before Kodak Verichrome Pan there was a Kodak Verichrome, but I never used it. I read about it, so the information is still available if you want it.

    Flash recommendations?

    I look for features such as bounce flash, synchronizing with focal length, TTL auto flashes, and flash diffusers.

    Pre wash or no pre wash ?

    I use the Jobo processor and I prewash all color and black & white film except Kodak Tri-X 400 which will be developed in replenished XTOL following both Kodak and Jobo advice. The effectiveness of prewashing discussions on Photrio often gains religious belief, so be careful what you ask for.

    Developing B&W 4x5 Film

    After I went from trays to various tanks, FreeStyle recommended that I try the Jobo processor with the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum. I quickly found out the with that drum I could develop color or black & white 4"x5" sheet film easily and consistently.

    Black and White Films With Two Emulsions

    If I remember correctly Kodak Verichrome Pan was a two layer film with each layer having its own ISO. That allowed simple box cameras such as the Kodak Brownie Hawkeye to take photographs over a wide range of lighting, and that allowed box cameras to be practical and useful.

    Light leak/ development issue or something else?

    Look to the ends of the camera, left and right. Either to door opening or the hinge are leaking light.

    Kodak no longer following "2 year rule" for expiration dates?

    I buy my film only from stores that have the equipment to keep all film in temperature controlled storage. That helps reduce the risks, not eliminate all the risks though.
