Since that is your heart's desire you should buy the Leica M3. You have spent much of your adult life earning money to pay for things others thought that they needed or at least wanted. Now is the time in your life to get those things you want and need. If you will use it and enjoy it, then...

The Nikon F100 also weighs less than the F6. The Nikon F is in a special well earn class by itself.

PE who recommended prewet/prewash specifically often posted not to prewash/prewet with PhotoFlo. PE, Photo Engineer, was a retired long time Kodak film engineer who spent his career doing research & development on films and developing chemicals.

My Hasselblad repair man strongly advises that each Hasselblad lens be fired 10 to 15 times at 1 second every three months. I set my calendar to 1 January. 1 April, 1 July and 1 September. That allows the shutter mechanism to move around the lubricants and prevent sticking.

Add O56 to NIkon Orange Both O56 and Y44 are made for the Nikon 13mm/15mm/16mm rear filters.

I do not own a Hasselblad 205tcc and a 150/2.8 Sonnar T* lens, but I have been using Hasselblad V Series for years. My Hasselblad repair man has advised me not to use the self timers since that can lead to problems. I had my 50mm lens sound like it fired but when I developed the film, the...

I have not enough experience to clearly sort out the various bleaching methods. I have only done it by eye. Others who have more extensive experience will need to step in.

Slide film [color] has lower contrast than color negative film. Black & white film which is negative film processed as slide film could be expected to have more contrast than a color slide. There are several paths to lower contrast: Bleaching Farmer's Reducer Masking using film...

I am talking about photographing landscapes and getting natural beauty. When I am photographing architecture, then any people come along for the ride and so do vehicles because the subjects are all man made. It is a choice, but of course, my choices are always the correct ones. :angel: And...

My shenanigans are limited to split grade printing, dodging, burning, and darkening the edges. I will not add or remove significant objects period. I will remove small blemishes, but I will not replace skies for example. So with my prints "What you see is what was there. Nothing more nor less."

I purposely do not include people in landscape photographs to keep the photograph timeless. If a person in a photograph can be seen with enough detail to see the clothes, the clothes date the photograph. That means that sometimes I have to wait a long while to get the photograph without...

Echoing that, once I learned about prewashing, I prewash all the films except Kodak Tri-X 400 when developing in XTOL with a Jobo processor as advised by Jobo and one author [I have to go to another location for the name of the book and the author]. I have heard that a few specific film and...

Great! Not only money well spend but also amazing turn around time. Now it is time to get out there and exercise the camera. Enjoy!

I prefer to think of color as a continuum with numberous specific wavelengths or combinations of wavelength having specific names. Further the Magenta Yellow Cyan filters on my enlarger are a continuum, but I wish their ranges covered a greater range. When I worked on electro-optical...

Welcome to Photrio. I am still figuring out where you really are.

Thank you. One of the few long videos that I took the time to watch the whole thing. I did not know about the background of this resurrection movement. I have a WideLux F7. I have mine mounted on a post. When I hold it by the post, my fingers do not get in the photographs. That is much...

Unsolicited bump. That is a very good price for the Nikonos V with that 35mm lens. I have not connection to the seller.

One on my favorites!

Since everyone is unique and has their own unique experiences, I cannot see any fact, reason or research to justify the basis for the comment in bold. I have some large prints on my walls that I really like and yet other people go absolutely wild about them and wax eloquent, is a counter...

I have rarely had a problem with old chemicals or paper as long as the packages were well sealed. Even if the packages were not well sealed, I have generally had good luck. However, test every thing before using to develop a roll of film, as an example.

Make sure that the negatives are propped up and not laying on the bottom or on top of each other.

One learns to pretend the braggart is just a barking dog. [A trick taught to me my a Post Office clerk.]

Very thought provoking. Thank you for posting this photograph.

I own and use my Hasselblads. About 10 years ago when I used them I would get asked if film was still available. I very rarely get asked that any more. I have only been accused of being a medical doctor or a dentist on the internet at photographic websites such as Photrio, Photo.net et al...

I am looking into purchasing a Nikon GP-1A GPS or Micnova GPS-N PLUS device and I would like to find out what others have experienced with it. I would be using it with the Nikon Z7II. How to best control the battery drainage? Recommendations. I notice that KEH does not have any in stock, so...

Welcome to Photrio!

Welcome to Photrio

Welcome back and please check in more often. Great portraits.

I will shoot multiple exposures of a subject but from different locations with different compositions. I very rarely will shoot multiple shoot of the same subject, same position and same composition unless I know that I may have blurred the photograph or something came into the field of view...
