    Identify this Fuji 120 (probably ISO 100) film...

    I agree. It is a C41 film and likely ISO 100. If it were ISO 160 or 400 and exposed at ISO 100, the exposures would still be usable.

    Rotary processing for roll film - streaking or uneven development more likely?

    And to the point of discussion: When I was searching for sheet tank development, I tried the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum with a Jobo processor I got consistent, properly developed sheet film with C-41 color and black & white film that was not only streak free but superior and any of several tray and...

    Both with replenished XTOL. Maris' comments go to my comment about XTOL is very forgiving.

    Aspect ratios and paper annoyance.

    Other than retaking the photograph, nothing can correct a poor choice for the original angle of the photograph.

    Aspect ratios and paper annoyance.

    I crop before photographing, but that has not stopped me from later cropping in dark room if I see it as an improvement.

    what was the last camera you used, last film and how was it developed

    The vignetting might not appear with a "thin" or "wide angle" filter alone and using such a filter with a lens hood the vignetting might not appear. One would have to test both configurations.

    Any tips for washing stop loss bags that hold C41 and xtol Developers

    I rinse them out with water the best I can, then push out the water. I found that their funnel is almost required to fill the bags without spilling the chemicals.

    How many film developers?

    Primarily XTOL in the replenished form. I rarely use my second choice Pyrocat-HD glycol. I stopped doing C-41 development since it is more practical for me to have Samy's Camera do all my color development and printing.

    Best practice for mixing/storing chemicals

    Example: I have mixed Stock XTOL in 1 liter bags that has lasted, unopened for years and is still good. When I do go to use it, I will test it on a strip of film, as I would with any developer.

    How to deal with the soft coating in Minolta MC lens?

    I bought a used Minolta SR-7 in 1966 and owned MC and MD lenses. I agree that you cannot mishandle the Minolta optics.

    Trying Out EMA

    I am happy with replenished XTOL done in a Jobo processor. I like the sharpness, the grain and the tonality. I will consider EMA if I see something really wonderful, but so far I am not sold on EMA and I love the forgiveness of XTOL.

    Using Pentax Digital Spot Meter for the Zone System

    Clarification: I meter the place with the darkest shadow detail I want and place that in the Zone of choice. That reading is transferred to the Hasselblad and from then on I use EV for all the settings and any filter factor adjustments.
