    Pacific Rim - Reference Library

    I have used it for years. It has obscure and hard to find information on cameras and lenses.

    I agree with Pieter. Recirculating keeps the fixer available to reenter the paper.

    Anyone using infrared thermometer for water temp?

    I just use the thermometer built into my Jobo CPP2 processor for both black & white and color film. That has always been accurate enough.

    Sold Hasselblad reflex viewfinder Rmfx for the rear of your Hasselblad

    Welcome to Photrio! from southern California. Boring blue skies 350 days a year. I use this for my Hasselblad 903 SWC. Feel free to ask questions. The only bad questions are the ones that do not get asked.

    Repair shops that work on Hasselblad 200 series

    As a long time Hasselblad owner it is sad to see that the owners of the company, not the Hasselblad family any longer, are doing everything they can to abandon the camera owners in hopes that the camera owners will come to them as customers. The Hasselblad 907 100C had approximately four times...

    C41 washing and pink stabiliser

    I use a five minute pre wash with the Jobo processor which sheds a lot of the pink dye for both C41 and black & white processing. For the final wash I use eight 500ml rinses for 30 seconds each. That leaves no pink on the film.

    Reveni Labs Light Meter

    I would like a vanilla donut with hard chocolate frosting please. I prefer the Minolta or my Pentax Digital Spotmeter with the 1 degree FOV, thank you.

    Your handheld shooting technique for cameras with a WLF to avoid shake blur?

    Easy solution! Either just stop your heart from beating or use a prism. Your choice, obviously.

    How would I test for this? (split grade printing, hype or real)

    TEST: Do your best straight grade print Take the same negative and do your best split grade print Which do you like the best Repeat step 1 with a different negative

    POP ==> the photograph as more pop!, the contrast is higher. Often the split grade printing is enough. I could not get that with single grade printing. It allows me to work on the contrast for the high contrast parts separate from the sky contrast.

    Instead, inhale, hold your breath, slowly squeeze the shutter release, then exhale. It sounds silly but remember to breathe, just like in swimming, skiing, snowboarding and ice skating. [The alternative is not so good. Relaxing is important for the enjoyment of photography.]

    Archival print washer types

    I have never needed a water pump either. The water flow will take care of that. Also one can use Hypo Clearing Agent to reduce the washing time and saving water.

    How would I test for this? (split grade printing, hype or real)

    I happen to use the high contrast Magenta first and then the low contrast Yellow second, followed with dodging and burning for each filter if and as needed. The order of the color filters does not matter. I get more POP sooner and with less time spend than I ever did with using a single grade...

    Nikon 75-150 series E issues

    I have had very good service with the Nikon 28mm to 200mm AF zoom lens and the Tamron 28mm to 300mm AF zoom lens. Perhaps KEH.com in the US can re-collimate the lens for you. They did it for my Hasselblad C 500mm lens, so they have the lab equipment which most places do not seem to have any...

    Archival print washer types

    I have a Kostiner which something that sounds to be the same generic type washer. The water has a bottom drain and can overflow the excess water. I have it placed in the bathtub and it works well. Welcome to Photrio

    Your handheld shooting technique for cameras with a WLF to avoid shake blur?

    I agree one has to slowly fire the shutter of a TLR not push it down. 1/[lens focal length] is the typical longest shutter speed most can use. With the Hasselblad I use the 45 degree prism which is pressed against the forehead for three point stability with the hands.

    How and what do you photograph with a super wide lens? I find it so difficult.

    Do not use very wide angle lenses for portraits of people that you like. Especially do not have a face near the edge of a very wide angle lens' field of view.

    I have to look for a used mirrorless camera, what should I note & check ?

    What I learned so far: Leica has the highest resolution: 80megapixels Sony is the next in line with a lot of options and features Canon and Nikon seem to be about equal. I chose Nikon to have access to the collection of Nikon F lenses from AI-S to AF-D lenses. But this gets to religious...

    If you are on a dock, walk up to the bow of the ship and aim a very wide angle lens up at the bow. Do you like what you see?

    How and what do you photograph with a super wide lens? I find it so difficult.

    The Hasselblad SWC and the Minolta MC f/2.8 21mm lens [my first wide angle lens I bought in the early 1970s] while very useful, are not going to be as useful as lenses in the "normal" range. So I found that I had to just walk around and look for opportunities to use them well. Once I learned...

    How and what do you photograph with a super wide lens? I find it so difficult.

    First of all to minimize the convergent lines, check the bubble level and keep it as close to level as you can. Second, instead of getting as wide a photograph as you can, place one [or two] large objects close to the camera and let the rest fall where it may for striking compositions. Look...

    I recently purchased the Nikon Z7ii which uses the older Nikon F lenses as well as the new Nikon Z lenses. I am still learning about all the features.
