    Storage of "in use" film?

    In some areas storing cameras and lenses in leather lens cases or camera cases can cause mold to grow. Therefore I if I were I a damp climate, I would not store lenses or camera in leather bags. Since I am in a dry climate, I could store my lenses in cameras in the leather bags, but I have...

    Is this how a real photographer should dress

    I have not met anyone born before 1918 that I have recently met. Much less being from Russia. I must live a sheltered life.

    When and how to rely on the Pentax 67 light meter

    I have always depended on the built-in meters of all the cameras I have owned. If I were you as long as films develop normally I would use it. If the photographs tend to drift off, then send it camera out to have the light meter adjusted.

    Storage of "in use" film?

    Southern California has a dry climate and I cannot remember one to two days only that were humid and that was when there was a hurricane. Hurricanes are extremely rare and when they come the humidity rises some but not to the point of getting humid.

    Is Hasselblad gliding mirror system prevents vignetting really?

    The problem is entirely in the mirror area. After a short time I stopped noticing it with the 150mm, 250mm and 500mm lenses.

    Looking for a solid point n shoot

    This is a thread where everyone jumps it with their personal point and shoot camera of choice. The Brownie Camera, more a box camera than a tradition point and shoot, is my favorite.

    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    I just received the Hasselblad Pro Shade (40231) with Bayonet 60 lens adapter ring from a Photrio member so my GAS has been relieved for at least 15 to 20 seconds.

    How hard is developing your own film really?

    Much easier than falling off a motorcycle. Know the steps, quantities, times, line up the equipment and chemicals, instructions and timing device. Take a deep breath and relax. Then you will be ready to start. It is not that hard.

    New Ansel Adams Stamps

    The stamps arrived today. Because today's stamp are pealable rather then wetted to apply to the mail, there is no information on the back of the sheet. I will mount the sheet in the normal manner.

    Maybe there is a growing awareness of the analog revival as not just being "Nostalgic"...

    Doesn't taking multiple photographs, making sure that the exposure, contrast, viewing angle . . . are all properly balanced and aligned take much more work than using a larger format camera and taking only one photograph?

    What tank for metal reels?

    I do not remember the name of the FreeStyle brand stainless steel tank which works well. Also the NIKOR stainless steel tanks work well too. Both brands can dribble a little IF AT ALL, and I have gotten good usage from both. I have not had a problem exchanging or upgrading any products from...

    Maybe there is a growing awareness of the analog revival as not just being "Nostalgic"...

    While I do slow down slightly with larger format cameras, much of the slowing down is because I have a much larger view finder to study while I am composing. Given the larger view finder, I take more time to make sure that there will be no unwanted objects in the composition such as pole rising...
