    "As of 2024, approximately 5.3 billion photos are taken worldwide each day."

    Avoiding the question of the breakdown between film and digital, I wonder about photographs taken for serious photographic work versus casual photographs such as snapshots.

    Never force anything/ Always check the camera and lens manuals and instruction. Take it to a local camera shop if one still exists in your area. If necessary ship of KEH.com, if you are in the US or other camera repair facility.

    Gl690 No sharp images.

    One this topic we are in violent agreement. I have designed and developed very successful large scale AI projects and what is seen by most of AI has not been developed with guard rails and little thought to the ramifications of the suit of "learning examples".

    Traveling to Colorado this weekend, any suggestions for shooting film?

    Consider using an Orange filter too for the black & white film. And a polarizer for black & white and color film.

    TX400 - HP5+ Shootout

    It might be a bit hard to shoot Tri-X 400 in 4"x5". Ilford HP5+ might work out better.

    For 35mm I use a 28mm to 300mm AF zoom lens and a 20mm to 28mm AF zoom lens. For medium format 6x6 in 120 film I travel with the Hasselblad 903 SWC 38mm lens, 50mm lens, and the 80mm lens.

    Why do scanning companies not produce better scanners instead of always going downhill?

    The market became small and continues to shrink in size. There is not enough business to encourage further investment.

    Jobo CPP3, pre wash and dev times

    I tend to do more black & white development than color with the Jobo processor because I do not like having to print each color photograph. I would rather send it out and not save up rolls of color film to process. Welcome to Photrio!
