    Flash recommendations?

    When I bought my 4"x5" Speed Graphic around 2008, I brought up flash bulbs for various sized from 5 to 22. Once I got them all stored, I have yet to use any of them.

    Anyone use expired ink? How old is too old?

    The only way to really know it to install the ink and try it.

    How to print this in darkroom (without dodging and burning)

    I use split grade printing of all my negatives and that allows me to avoid dodging and burning most of my prints. Without split grade printing, I was doing a lot of dodging and burning.

    Best screen resolution for RAW files

    The Nikon Z7ii shoots RAW and JPEG. I save both but only use RAW and archive the JPEG.

    Survey: Can we repair the electronics of photo devices ourselves?

    While that may be true not, the change came too late for my NIkon SB800. I still had to buy a replacement.

    Square format from TLR camera: how do you orient the negative in enlarger?

    I too print 120 strips of film sideways. Separating into individual negatives, produces single negatives which I find are harder to handle that the strips of 3 negatives.

    Jobo CPA (1st Gen): Which tank/reel for 4x5" film?!

    Welcome to Photrio! The CPA machine uses the 1500 tanks and possible the drums. I have had the CPE and CPP machines and I use the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum for up to 10 sheets of 4"x5" sheet film and the 1540 for 35mm and 120 film.

    Which iso film roll?

    Welcome to Photrio! First of all I recommend using a tripod and using any film shot at box speed. Forget pushing and pulling. I have been using this available light slide rule since it first came out in 1963. http://www.southbristolviews.com/pics/Cameras/JiffyCalc.pdf

    Survey: Can we repair the electronics of photo devices ourselves?

    Survey: Can we repair the electronics of photo devices ourselves?

    As noted above even with access to electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes, frequency generators, etc, one needs circuit diagrams, repair manuals, and spare parts and without them the chances of repair are limited. Even having an Electrical Engineering MS cannot overcome the absence of...

    Scale focusing

    Using the depth of field scale can help if 1) the depth of field scale is on the lens and 2) one is willing to use smaller apertures to increase the depth of field.

    Why are (some) bulk loaders expensive?

    When I bulk loaded film, it became at a loss for me when the photo processing labs stopped returning my 35mm cassettes.

    First Time Using 120 Gold 200, Portra 160, & Ektar 100

    I too like punchy and fine grain. I standardized on Kodak Portra 400 in 135 and 120, which is close to Kodak Porta 160 with that extra speed than helps keep the tripod folded up. Maybe I too will do some testing.
