    New Ansel Adams Stamps

    I did order one sheet which I will frame and hang next to my small collection of Ansel Adams prints. If this sheet of stamps has commentary printed on the back as a page of Civil War stamps I have, then I will fame the Ansel Adams stamps the same way.

    Thinking about a 350mm lens for the Hasselblad camera...

    On revisiting this topic, I have gotten a lot of use of my 250mm lens and do not get a lot of use of my 500mm lens. I think if I had a 350mm lens, that I would use it much more than the 500mm lens.

    In your opinion, what are the best modern 35mm film SLRs ever built?

    I think that the NIkon F100 is the best Nikon AF camera that Nikon built. It has all the best features without the weight and bulk of the F6, and without some of the unneeded features. I have the N75, two N80s, and F100. The F100 is the go to camera for my most serious AF 35mm work.

    Should I buy another film camera?

    This is like going into a liquor store and asking if one should join AA. Photrio is a website the premier photography enabler. So the answer is YES! I think that the NIkon F100 is the best Nikon AF camera that Nikon built. It has all the best features without the weight and bulk of the F6...

    Is this how a real photographer should dress

    I fail to see the practicality of photographing while carrying 12" or 30 cm of copper tubing, steel pipe or PCV pipe.

    Is this how a real photographer should dress

    A hat of some type is necessary for the dress code as well as a movable sunshade. I prefer a western hat myself.

    MF System users: Menu or a la carte?

    Even though I live in a dry climate, I only put cameras and lenses in camera bags is when I am taking them out of the house. On return, I remove all photographic equipment from the camera bags.

    Is Hasselblad gliding mirror system prevents vignetting really?

    I have the Hasselblad 503 CX which does not have the Gliding Mirror System. Shortly after starting to use the camera with the 150mm and 250mm lenses, I stopped noticing the cutting off the top of the view finder. The camera has never cut off the top of the image on the film.

    Equipment-related mind blockade

    When one has the best quality camera equipment they can afford, they can only blame themselves if the quality of the photographs is poor.

    MF System users: Menu or a la carte?

    My Hasselblads and their lenses are stored with the lens caps on and the 80mm lens on the 503 CX body as well as the 903 SWC with its own body and lens attached while at home. When in use the lens caps move around except with the C lens caps stick with the C lenses due to their size, color and...

    Nikonos lens impossible to remove

    Dean's Camera Repair works on Nikonos. He advised me that a Nikonos II was not worth repairing and advised me to replace it with a Nikonos V and moving the 35mm lens to the replacement camera.

    Hasselblad V: sliiiiiightly misaligned hinges on the backside.

    The correction also applies: While you may be able to adjust the hinges yourself, a Hasselblad repair man can realign the Hasselblad body on the Hasselblad jig quickly.

    Hasselblad . Leaf shutter versus focal plane shutter, your choices

    When I bought my Hasselblad in 2007, I had wanted one of the Rollei SLRs, but the sales people at Samy's Camera recommended Hasselblad over Rollei and I went to talk with Samy's Hasselblad repairman. He advised that is stay away from the 200 series and 2000 series because of problems with the...

    Hasselblad 80mm Planar or 60mm Distagon CF for urban documentary project

    I prefer the CF lenses or later over C lenses. I find the 60mm lens is too close to be useful for me, so I have use the 50mm CF and 80mm CF lenses for most city street type work. I have felt this way from the start, and now that I have the 30mm C Fisheye, 38mm SWC CF [903], 50mm CF, 80mm CF...

    Dumb Question about keeping track of film in MF cameras

    Label every loaded film back with a painter's tape label OR buy a plastic 120 box end holder and attach it to the back OR buy the dark slide box with the 120 box end holder and attach it to the Hasselblad film back. I do the last one.
