    Smallest Medium Format Rig

    Circa 1930's Certo Super Dolly with a very sharp Zeiss lens that could be used for 6x6 or 645. It did not have a range finder so one has to estimate the range.

    Exposure and contrast: the big confusion.

    OP consider using split grade printing to improve the contrast globally and locally. Ask if you need more information about split grade printing.

    Repairs: Specialist or generalist?

    I amortize the cost over the owned life and consider it just part of the cost of the hobby. Buying another body would mean that I would have to have it checked out and needed service would need to be paid for unless I bought it from KEH.com or Samy's Camera. I do not need to buy someone else's...

    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    I was given an earlier version Cotton Carrier System G3 Grey Harness For 2 Cameras which I will only use for one camera. I removed the waist level camera attachment. I am planning to use it with the Nikon Z7II with the Tamron 150mm to 600mm AF VR zoom lens with or without the Tamron 2x...

    Strange blue colour on films.

    The blue color is probably not from the rinse water but is possibly from color crossover from contamination between the chemicals.

    You succeeded where I have failed many times before. That problem had been a nuisance for quite awhile. @MattKing showed me the way

    Dry gin Martinis for me. Stirred not shaken. Shaking kills the botanicals, ruining the drink. Never vodka which has no taste, just like James Bond who got it wrong twice. Actually Ian Flemming had it correct in his first book and then proceeded to screw it up in every book since.

    Impact of AI on wildlife photo competitions and conservation

    loss of trust or interest the public has in photography is the major concern for me. That is why I have posted about what I call the truth of the negative. I won a court case when I showed a photograph and the judge asked if I had the original negative. I pulled out a PrintFile sheet with the...

    How to start for a replenisher?

    Correct. Now Mulholland is better remembered for his slimy and unethical acts and practices than for his work bringing water to the Los Angeles area.

    While I have not purchased AppleCare+, I have called into Apple for support with my mid 2012 Mac Pro Tower and after being told that my machine is obsolete, the Apple technical support person proceeds to help me. The other day the Apple technical support person could not remotely see my screen...

    Barcelona Airport Scanners

    One does not have to stop using film for photography. I use ISO 400 film and when possible I request hand inspection for CT scanners. I can also have the film developed and printed be for flying back to the US if I think it is necessary. On the other hand I will use digital photography in...

    To repair or not repair A12 film backs, that is the question.

    The irregular negative shape is an indication that the film back itself is out of alignment. It needs to be placed in the Hasselblad tool jig [by a Hasselblad trained repair man] and adjusted and realigned to factory specification. I have needed that done to several film backs that I had...

    Welcome to Photrio I started with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera, later was given an inexpensive German TLR, then a Voigthlander Vito II 35mm rangerfinderless camera and then settled on a Minolta SR-7. For decades I used Minolta SLRs upgrading occasionally. Then in 2004 I moved to Nikon N75...

    Do Glasses/Contact Lens Affect Focusing?

    Soft lenses correct focus but not astigmatism. Hard lenses can correct astigmatism which is you your ophthalmologist has achieved that success for you. Enjoy that success.

    Repairs: Specialist or generalist?

    Being a specialist is a good thing, especially if the specialist is a factory trained Hasselblad repair person. Will this become yet another Hasselblad thread?

    How to select a device

    My first computer was a 1984 Max 512. Eventually I added a daughter board with a 68030 and a math coprocessor. It worked well but got confused when it received files in color. Later I repurposed it as a data server for my other computers. Yes it was slow but it did that job until I retired...
