    Wide Angle Lens Hood

    Put the wide angle lens hood, open the camera back, set to lens to the largest aperture, set the shutter to 'B', open the back, fire the shutter and hold it open. Then look through the back of the lens and search the corners for vingetting.

    Period correct Hasselblad lens cap

    Check to see if there is any lens cap information at Hasselblad Historical www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/HS/HSTable.aspx My Hasselblad 500mm C lens came with the gray cap. I will check the serial number to determine when it was made.

    Hello from Illinois, USA

    That happens to me with Nikon AF SLRs too. They just know. Maybe because their lives depend on sensing and reaction to dangers. We do have eye that are lined up in parallel and that marks us as carnivores.

    Strange development marks near edge of frame

    Those marks still appear in my Jobo reels regardless of how hard I scrub them. I do not recall having that problem with Hewes reels.

    Light meter spectral sensitivity and sensitometry

    There are standard light sources and standard calibration processes. That does not include a unique ISO standard K value. Some light meters, CDS, were more blue sensitive than non CDS meters, hence no specific K value.

    Light meter spectral sensitivity and sensitometry

    And if they are all properly calibrated they should be the same. The question is for the same type of sensor how does the spectral response compare?

    Wetting agent to prevent strike on paper.

    No, only if there is some problem with your local water that you can not correct otherwise. Certainly not as a matter of course without a need.

    How many times have you re-invented yourself as a photographer?

    I reinvented myself as an engineer many times. In photography it was not so much as reinventing myself as learning new skills, using new types of equipment and going back into the darkroom again after over 60 years.

Now with digital cameras have the capability to set to White Balance to: Sunny Bright, Daylight, Cloudy, ... and alter the response...

    What developer should I try?

    I have had very good results with XTOL and replenished XTOL which is very forgiving. Now one may have to use XTOL copycats based on you local supply.

    Hello from Illinois, USA

    Welcome to Photrio. When I take wildlife photographs I noticed that herds and flocks know a lot about photographic equipment. They take one look and note the brand of equipment and the lenses. Then they move way from me to a distance at which I can only get photographs of large groups and...

    Advice regarding exposure

    I either use bounce flash or a plastic diffuser that came with my flash. Either of those will cut the unwanted harshness from the closest people without impacting the exposure as I use the flash's sensor for exposure control.

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

    Xtol keeping properties

    I have been using XTOL and replenished XTOL for over 10 years. Both stock and replenished keep for well over a year [stock for at least 3 years] if it is stored without any air and tightly sealed. Accordion bottles will eventually leak. I use StopLossBags™ to get those times in the second...
