    Recommendations for Grain Focusers, Loupes, and Light Tables

    I have found that the Peak Grain Focusers are brighter, sharp and easy to use anywhere under the photographic image. Skip the wannabees and go right to buying the Peak Grain Focuser of your preference.

    The adopted standard for 35mm film is 24x36 other sizes were were tried and were not selected. I would have liked to see the flexibility 24x24, 24x26, 24x28, 24x30, 24x32, and 24x34 or even narrower or wider, but I do not see that happening. What we have is half frame, WideLux and Xpan sizes.

    What is a good, cheap handheld exposure meter ?

    I too strongly recommend the Gossen Lunapro SBC is a good "low cost" and accurate light meter. It can be found on ebay for ~$50 or so and it takes 9v batteries and has spot meter attachments available.

    Freestyle is selling refurbished 35mm SLRs

    Refurbished has always meant that the item was returned for a cause, fully tested for every function instead of sampling some of the tests after repairing the defects and then fully guaranteed as new and sold at below the new price. I learned a lot about refurnished products when I worked at Kodak.

    On the fence, stick with Fuji X system or something else?

    Why limit yourself to Fuji cameras. There are great cameras made by Nikon and Canon that will meet and exceed your present and future needs. No Hasselblad cameras were damaged or destroyed in the making of this post.
