I hope this upgrade will provide measurable improvements for the company and its customers.

I prefer the Costco sunglasses that are bifocal and have a circle with a reading glass perscription

I too have used Kodak Tri-X 400 in 135 and 120 since the 1960's. It and Rollei IR 400 film are my go to black & white films.

Sage advise from an experienced photographer and I concur with his recommendation.

If it was me, I would keep it as a museum piece. I have no idea what you will actually do.

Welcome to Photrio! I use the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum which can develop up to 10 sheets of film. Sheets of film cannot break free and cause problems in that drum. While it is pricey but if one amortizes the cost per sheet of the time that you own the drum will be so low that it is worth buying...

I have heard that stop bath and in particular Kodak Stop Bath with Indicator is buffered to keep the pH in the proper range. That and a $50US bill will get you a cup of StarBucks coffee at the airport.

I do not know, but I am afraid that the cost of the monocle magnify lens will break me. :( 😢😭

Sorry to hear about your camera's demise. Consider doing both film and digital photography.

Middle latitudes, between 10am and 4pm local time if I remember correctly, so this might not work for people in Scotland or Finland. Remember this is an approximate standard for those that want a quick sanity check before sending all the equipment to a calibration laboratory. As I noted I send...

Yes, but one has a devil of a time doing that without a good watch to work ratio.

But only after the ink on the money has completely dried, so the the ink will not smear.

Especially in cold weather, standing in the snow, wind blowing hard and you have the money shot focus and the viewfinder and the money shot is about to evaporate in milliseconds. 🌨️ 🥶

a quiet bump

Good point!

Sage advice. Well stated too.

The one time I used PayPal and Visa on a purchase that went bad, I contacted Visa first and then PayPal. That was not optimal. Once a credit card complaint has been registered PayPal yields all decisions to the credit card. Lesson Learned: Only contact PayPal. One has a time limit to report...

Thank you for the history which I did not know and the status with PN's random walk. Now you have reinforced my decision to expend my efforts to consult and add my knowledge to APUG ==> Photrio.

For a scientific wild ass guess [SWAG] one could start with Sunny 16 as a standard source.

Slow motion mistakes. The worst of those is the falls that older people see in gruesomely s-l-o-w--m-o-t-i-o-n.

And of course such behavior saves the battery.

I rarely look at a screen after taking images. My film experience has taught me to know whether I got the photograph or not without looking.

Unfortunately, there are dishonest people who take advantage of people with money to spend. The other person was just being careful.

Once I started shooting slides when I was 18 or 19, I sent any camera or light meter in for servicing or calibration, respectively.

You broke the code!

If either the buyer or the seller cannot get on the same trust level, then it is probably best if they stop dealing with each other. I have suggested that the seller I am talking to receive and cash my check and then the check clears before they send me the item. I use PayPal and not PayPal...

If one has two or more meters and they disagree in their measurements on scenes and on gray cards, which meter should be chosen to be the standard for all of them? Why?

Welcome to Photrio!

Good point. I forgot to mention that not just for the film but also the tank and reel(s).

Thank you for providing a list of calibration laboratories.
