I attempted to resurrect a Nikon SB800 strobe by removing the exploded batteries and cleaning the residue with contact cleaner. I did not open the body and the job was unsuccessful. :(

You may want each month to be seasonal: that is Spring months with flowers, Summer months with appropriate lighting, Autumn with Fall colors, and Winter with snow and ice.

GIMP is a little less capable and more cumbersome but catching up recently.

Let me be the first to welcome you to Photrio!

Since all newly purchased film goes directly into my freezer, any change in Kodak's dating policy will not impact the way I store and use the film.

It is sad as each one goes under.

WD-40 will do a great job gumming up the mechanism.

Like it or not, time for a CLA because it is likely to have other problems either now or soon. Or you could return it.

Thank you for posting this article. It covers many facets of the film, chemistry, availability of film cameras, repairs, parts and service now and ten years into the future.

So the new Leica is neck ware bling.

While the near-silence of a rangefinder is smaller, lighter and quieter; I prefer the SLRs because I find the split window hard to focus in dim light.

As an alternative to home testing for each lens, ask yourself if you are happy with the results you get for all your prints and-or slides? Are the corners sharp enough? Are you happy with the areas that are out of focus? Are you happy with the areas in focus? Such evaluations may well save...

When I was a teenager I wanted the Bronica S over any other camera; as an adult about ten years before I retired, I settled for a Hasselblad 503 CX with seven lenses, 2XE extender, extension tubes, and a Hasselblad 903 SWC. I have managed to make due with those since then.

One can get similar or better results than 1+1 and get much better savings using replenished XTOL. I have been doing that since I shortly after I joined APUG, now known as Photrio in 2007.

Welcome to Photrio!
