    Purple dust in camera body (after shooting slide film)

    That should get most of the red dust out so that you could skip vacuuming it.

    R72 Filter With Normal Film?

    Why not start with Rollei IR 400 and the 720 filter? You would not have to take three days to get the exposure in range for more serious printing.

    Tri-X: What situations, if any, demand an alternative? (35mm)

    I prefer medium format and usually travel with it, but if I have to travel light or will not have the luxury to dwell at will when I would like, I will take 35mm.

    Ok I've come to the conclusion all Kiev 88 120 film backs have light leaks where the dark slides go in (light seals)

    I always assuming that any used film back I buy will need the light seals replaced.

    Tri-X: What situations, if any, demand an alternative? (35mm)

    I see no reason to skip Tri-X. I get good consistent results from Tri-X that I can depend on. On the other hand, Tri-X does not work well in the infrared range and for that I use Rollei IR 400.

    Purple dust in camera body (after shooting slide film)

    I suggest that the OP started with getting the dust vacuumed out. Using compressed air may drive the dust further inside the camera.

    What would be the shelf life of stored powdered chemistry at 80F?

    How about only opening the package when all the contents will be mixed for a full batch of chemical? No PET plastic waste bottles. It is good for for the environment.

    Big Bend National Park - Velvia 50 a Good Choice? - Ektar 100?

    That raises the cost by a factor of 3. Instead buy a light meter, get it calculated and shoot the slide film a box speed. That always worked for me.

    Pentax LX lightmeter adjustement

    Welcome to Photrio! If you can find a place that can calibrate the spot meter to a calibrated source, their calibration wall address the two f/stop difference, it should straighten out any non-linearities too. I know that was done for my Pentax Digital Spot Meter. There should be someone in...

    Photographer unknown - does it matter?

    I look at each photograph separately. While a name such as a name such as Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, or Henri Cartier-Bresson will have me automatically comparing to each's other work, that lack of a name will not cause me to look with less diligence or interest.
