We at Photrio are great at encouraging people to buy equipment.

Welcome to Photrio!

The owners of Hasselblad do not give a damn about film camera sales.

I do not see any cost savings nor increased sales.

Welcome to Photrio!

Congratulations!

Look at JPL's website. Filters were rotated in and out.

Coming up with a good name for the method I use has been vexing me for years.

I started with varifocals and both stairs and the distortion when I looked left or right bothered me for a while.

In my area storing a camera in a car long term is a bad idea due to the heat build up and damage to the film and the camera.

And another camera store/resource disappears.

The camera is only worth that hard earned money, if it meets your needs and fits in your hands well. One should avoid using a camera that in inconvenient to handle.

When my children moved out, I was able to turn one bedroom into a dry darkroom with the enlarger and print dryer. Then I started switching the master bathroom temporarily into the wet darkroom.

I only use[d] my 2XE with my 250mm CF and later my 500mm C lenses only. I never used them on any shorter lenses. I used soft filters for soften the focus. Just a different approach.

Welcome to Photrio! Early on I chose the prism because the stray light entering the WLF, the left-right [right-left in the UK] reversal making the tracking of a moving subject, and the lack of a light meter.

For myself, I spent quite a bit of time studying Ansel Adams books and reading this website back when it was APUG, before I decided to divide Zone System into the ZS Exposure and ZS Development because I was shooting roll film and I could not have 12 or 36 different developments in a roll of...

Early in my career I was heavily involved with designing and deploying electrooptical devices including telescopes on spacecraft. Some of my later work include designing and programming Voyager I & II Jupiter Approach movies which show the Jovian satellites orbiting Jupiter and the Red Spot...

That is the one rule of Hasselblad that everyone needs to learn. Keep the camera and lenses cocked at all time. Hence, store lenses cocked always. The lens springs are designed to be stored cocked.

Partly cloudy, but I would consider it almost completely cloudy. There are a few places that the IR film and filter can make the sky look black.

Welcome to Photrio! Cross posting is not necessary and the monitors discourage it.

According to my Hasselblad repairman, Hasselblad does still have the parts needed for repairs of the 200 Series and 2000 Series, but years ago decided not to make them available and keep the parts from anyone's access. A great leap backwards. Grrrr ...

Do not use squeegees. Use PhotoFlo following the instruction sheets. Do not just pour some into the water. Hang the film, then blot the edge of the bottom with a paper towel to draw off the excess water.

Increasing the ISO makes thinner negatives and poor slides. That means there will be less shadow details and the negative will be harder to print because there will be less information to work with. I strongly recommend that you use box speed. I have used box speed with or without the Zone...

Welcome to Photrio!

I have often posted to keep the sky out of the field of view of the light meter. That is a version of metering the subject.

I asked Samys Camera who had originally sent me to Quality Light-Metric. They gave me a new contact, but I cannot find it. Call Samy Camera, Los Angeles on Fairfax, ask for camera repair, and ask them for the referral.

No, not powder. Into the partially filled container of replenished XTOL, pour 70ml Stock XTOL per roll, then fill with the rest of the replenished XTOL from the tank, and discard whatever is left over. If you want more details or information, just ask me.

Depending on how they treat you and how the camera is will give you a clue. I would feel the same way, but I have had to send repaired things back to KEH a few times, in the end all things worked out. Hang in there.

Take it back and have them correct the problem. Other than the loss of time and inconvenience, they should resolve the problem.
