I see the Pentax Spot Meter is ISO 400 and using the spot meter to adjust to Zone exposures and filters all of the exposures were either off or way off. Alan's assistant worked with me. He saw the problem and when I followed his directions to read the shutter speed and f/stop from the spot...

I had one cataract removed and has two eyes focusing differently unless I put it a contact lens. I found that without the other eye being corrected have two different focal lengths was the worst of all worlds. All of the so called advantages were very annoying disadvantages and I would only...

I do not have Zone VI experience. For the Pentax Digital Spot meter, once you have your reading, use the setting [straight reading] to set a lens and then read the EV setting from the lens for Zone or filter corrections. The Pentax Digital Spot meter is set up for ISO 100 by design and if one...

I usually do not need reading glasses unless the print is really small, 8 points or less or the light is dim.

I had one lens replaced at 73 and the second at 78. Now I have 20/20 vision and can read most things without reading glasses. It is great to wake up in the morning as see without glasses or contact lenses for the first time since I was 12 years old.

Since cataract surgery removes the lens, the implants are used to replace the lens. The optical surgeon orders the implant and you can request what type of vision you desire, near sighted, far sighted, 20/20 with or without the ability to include the reading range.

The Nikon SB-800 is also fully compatible with the Nikon Z7ii digital camera.

Welcome to Photrio!

I agree. I used contact lenses until I needed cataracts removed, then the implants gave me 20/20 vision unaided for the first time since I was 12 years old.

I did not realize this! This is a great leap backwards. This is a good reason to keep my NIkon SB800.

I have used and reused XTOL, but I get better results and more product usage with replenished XTOL. Using StopLossBagsTM from StopLossBags.com to store the stock and replenished solutions, I can safely use and store stock and replenished XTOL for over several years.

Rather than having three TLRs I am much happier with my Hasselblad 503 CX, Hasselblad 903 SWC and a collection of Hasselblad lenses. Enjoy your cameras.

Welcome to Photrio! from Los Angeles.

I agree and I hope that they keep an active interest on strengthening the product line and expanding the market.

I had GAS for years. APUG, Photrio's predecessor, perfected GAS and moved me from 35mm Minoltas, to Nikon AF cameras, back to Medium Format, to Hasselblad, to 4"x5" Pacemaker Speed Graphic and Graflex Model D, setting up a black & white and color darkroom and into digital photography again. I...

Over the years I have sent in cameras to be CLA'd. When I have asked what was done on a camera when I picked it up, usually I was told that the camera or lens was cleaned, lubricated and then tested and only what need to be needed to be adjusted was adjusted. Furthermore, I have been told that...

My Peak focuser works edge to edge, although I have not needed to use it that way most of the time.

I usually use tongs, but I would rather use my hands, so gloves are a good alternative. I found that I could feel well enough with gloves.

My Hasselblad repairman at Samy's only said us the 1 second time. He never talked about the two springs that you posted about.

Wearing all three on straps around your neck is the ultimate blink!

I could not find "Light Meter Light" in the Apple Store. Do you have another name for that app?

Thank you, I did not know that Vivitar was Ponder & Best.

I too have found this to be necessary for my Nikon and Hasselblad cameras. All polarizers are good for removing window reflections and darkening skies while whitening clouds for color [slide and prints] and black and white films. With wide and very wide angle lenses the sky will darken to...

Welcome to Photrio!

So for the OP the Rolleiflex GX is the OP's Hasselblad. OP enjoy you heart's desire.

Great video. What I did was to use the formulas in a spread sheet to print out a scale for my 1953 4"x5" Speed Graphic with f stops along the length. I glued the scale to the rail. That way the location of the lens is over the f stop compensation. using the reading off the rail requires not...

Photographing between 10:00 and 16:00 will minimize sky color variation.

I have used the Mamiya C300f and Hasselblads. No one paid attention to me.
