    Freestyle closes retail store on Sunset Blvd

    That will have an impact on me. I would drive there to ask questions before purchasing. Plus they had a great return policy which was especially useful when I was searching for 4"x5" tanks.

    Teleconverters, are they worth it?

    If one wants longer lenses but can only afford a teleconverter, then go ahead and buy them with the knowledge that there will be loss of f/stops and some image softening. I have a Hasselblad 2X teleconverter to double my 500mm Hasselblad lens to 1000mm [1 meter] when I need the longer length...

    Is this subject brightness range impossible for slide film?

    If you want a wider exposure latitude, you need to use C41 color print film.

    Why am I shooting on paper backing with my Rollei SL66E

    Effective use of expired film.

    Welcome to Photrio! Expired film is not your friend and the losses one experiences are not worth the cost savings. Only buy fresh film, checking the expiration date and comparing it with the film in the back of the shelve.

    Is this subject brightness range impossible for slide film?

    A big part of your problem is that the Sun is in front of you, not directly in line with the lens, but still in front of you and the foreground is back lit. If you had taken the exposure for the vegetation only, then the sky would be slightly washed out and the rest of the exposure would be...

    Tossing Negatives After They've Been Scanned

    In my experience when someone tells me that they are scanning all their slides which they will throw out, I just listen. That is not the time to get into the advantages of keeping archival materials.

    Quick comparison Bronica EC vs. Rolleiflex SL66

    The Bronica S was being sold in the 1960's. Back then I wanted on in the worst way. Later on I had to settle for Hasselblads.

    Lightweight MF camera recommendations?

    The Hasselblads are not heavy until one starts using a prism. The same can be said for Bronicas.

    Do you like to shoot in the rain?

    Rain here is so rare, that even though I have plastic rain sleeves, when it does rain here I am never ready. Partly because I have to find the rain sleeve and partly because other than the streets reflecting light in the rain, I have not picked out a location.

    (Old) Rollei Infrared 400: Green Tint after Processing

    Two things to try: Prewash the film to remove some of the dyes, if any. Wash the film longer that you are to reduce any residual dyes.

    X-TOL, Microphen, or Acufine for long shelf life pushing developers?

    Store the developer in StopLossBagsTM using their funnel for filling he bags. www.StopLossBags.com. I have stored XTOL and replenished XTOL for years with problems. Always test the developer with a a strip of film.
