    Which Medium Format Camera should I buy?

    I owned several MF TLR cameras including one SuperDolly folder with a wonderfully sharp Zeiss lens and a Mamiya C330 with the 65mm, 80mm and 250mm lenses and every option known in the known world. I traded in the later for a Hasselblad 503 CX in 2006 and I have never looked back. I also own...

    Let Us Now Praise Contact Proof Sheets

    I no longer have the patience to print out every negative on every roll of C41 film, so I just send them off to be processed and printed for me so that I can look through all the prints at my own pace.

    General question for Jobo Users utilizing the Lift

    I had a Jobo CPE and a Jobo CPP2. I sold the first one off. The CPP2's lift are was broken off so I lift the tank or drum up. I prefer to use the lift to raise the tank or drum and pour the chemicals though the top.

    When I joined Photrio, then called APUG, I was introduced to the prewash discussions and prewash wars. At the time I had occasional rolls of film with uneven development, including Kodak and Ilford. After reading the comments and an extended PM discussion with PE, I tried prewashing. I found...
