Once I started prewashing I found I had fewer problems with air bells or uneven development.

ROTFLMAO

I last used Quality Light Metric and calibrated all my cameras and light meters. Since then it closed its doors and the owner retired. I have not need one since, however the way I would search, as I had before, I called Samy's Camera on Fairfax and ask for their recommendation. Samy's is next...

. . . and wisdom.

Sean, you know that it is an eBay requirement world wide that one open every box of photographic paper in daylight and expose each sheet individually to sun light, and then post a notice with the advert with photographs on the eBay post?

Consider posting this on Large Format Photography www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/

Great catch! Yes "don't" is definitely missing. The only way to get the two meters to agree is to calibrate them to a know source. Since most of us don't have the...

I too have not had problems mixing dry chemicals by following the instructions carefully and having good ventilation.

That video reflects my knowledge and experience.

Choose the lens that comes to you as the first in your price range in the quality that satisfies you.

That does simplify things for me. Thank you.

Send him to my place and he can use the darkroom as long as he needs to.

The only way to get the two meters to agree is to calibrate them to a know source. Since most of us have the resources, equipment and training, the most expeditious way to do that is to send them to a qualified facility that with the resources and staff, a laboratory that specializes in...

I feel the need to shoot more file while I make up my mind whether CCD or CMOS is better for me. Or maybe I will use my Nikon Z7ii while I ponder. So many choices . . .

First of all you should find out which papers are still usable. Therefore go in the darkroom, open each package and fully test each sheet by making a print. When you have finished a package go to the next package and repeat the previous sentence. When you have gone through and finished each...

Welcome to Photrio!

The reflections in the convex mirror in the Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eych and other paintings have always intrigued me with the detail and accuracy with which the reflection has been captured.

I like the variety of red rock texture in this photograph.

The first time I needed to do that, I was surprised by the amount of torque needed to get the shaft to snap in place.

I agree with all of your analyses. The photograph could well be a self portrait.

As one who lived in Rochester New York, I can relate to the reason that George Eastman founded Kodak in Rochester was because Rochester is the World's Largest Natural Darkroom.

Since I move the focusing spot to the alternate focus place and back, there is no focus error. Therefore the focus error analysis is most properly classed as a WOMBAT*. WOMBAT* Waste Of Money Brains And Time. -- a term I learned while working at Kodak in the Harkeye Building.

I have been using replenished XTOL exclusively for almost 20 years.

Correct. I am talking about generalities not specifics. As I stated, using split grade has helped me reduce the amount of dodging and burning, not eliminate them.

Welcome to Photrio! Consider XTOL stock solution used repeatedly for multiple rolls, XTOL 1:1 as one shot, or replenished XTOL which is used for multiple rolls with a long lifetime and the most economical of the three. All are very forgivable, provide fine grain and great sharpness (acutamce).

I would venture the the lens has not been used for a while and the lubrication has hardened. Send it in for an inspection with either any quick adjustments can be made by the repairman or a CLA [Clean, Lubricate, and Adjust]. To avoid this happening in the future, my Hasselblad repairman...

I am just wondering, if you sent the negative out to be printed by a photo finisher, would that count as printing without dodging or burning?

That sounds approximately correct, dear.
