Open a box of baking soda to absorb odors.

Has the Topcon label in substituted for Pentax on the equipment? If so think about returning it.

If the chaos is too intrusive, put the lens cap on and put your effort in to enjoying the environment.

The danger with a 21mm lens is that it removes or diminishes the details at a distance.

The storage sealing is important to keep oxygen out of the developer. Some people use wine bags. I have found the that StopLossBagsTM when use with their funnel [to minimize spilling] have worked for me for years. I have gotten my replenished XTOL to last more than two years. I always use a...

The 1000f is an older camera and you will have problems getting it serviced especially if the body shutter needs work. Of the two the 500ELX would be a better choice unless you just want to collect classic old cameras.

I prefer that the slides come mounted, however if they were not or a crop was needed, I mounted the slides, preferably in glass.

Oh, I didn't know since I was not alive then. You are even older than me.

Two memory thumb drives, 256GB each from B&H and at no cost because I won $50 credit on a previous purchase during a sale period.

That would be wonderful, but I will not hold my breathe.

And neither is HIE.

I thought that my Gossen Luna SBC was eating batteries until I figured out that the meter switch was being poked and bumped in the camera bag. I started packing the bag so that nothing could hit the switch when laying still or being carried, at the light meter stopped eating batteries.

You are letting the films get too dry, so they tend to curl. If you hang film to dry and a shower stall after a steamy shower, the film will not completely dry out and it will lay flat.

Search FreeStyles website, I have purchased single roll 120/220 plastic film containers from them.
