    Unsure of appropriate pricing

    Welcome to Photrio! Best of luck on your print sales. Rather than investing in prints that may or may not sell, show some sames of the print and then let the potential customer select the subject from an album.

    The use of crowd funding for new photographic (ad)ventures

    I suspect, no proof, that some of the investors react on impulse and may not put much thought into the project.

    After death: What shall happen to our photos?

    I have children who will have to figure out what to with the photographs, cameras, lenses, darkroom, film, paper and chemicals as well as the choice of which rest home I get stuck in. So while all that will be their problem, I have to be nice to them because of the last item on that list. 🥺

    Make sure that you push out all the air in the XTOL bottles.

    The use of crowd funding for new photographic (ad)ventures

    Risky in crowdfunding means that there are risks involved, not that it is inherently dishonest. As I posted earlier, one should read all the material carefully and balance to cost versus desire & need versus risks.

    Mamiya 6mf or Hasselblad 200fc/m

    I too have used the Hasselblad for almost twenty years hand held. The only time I put it on a tripod is with the 500mm lens which is too unwieldy to shoot hand held, especially with the 2XE Extender.

    Flatbed recommendations

    I replaced my Epson 4990 with the Epson V850. Overkill for my present needs but the Epson website had a great price for a factory reconditioned one with a full factory guarantee as though it was new. It is worth checking out the Epson website to see what is offered the day one checks it.

    Mamiya 6mf or Hasselblad 200fc/m

    I am a strong support of the Hasselblad V Series which has strong supplies of lenses and bodies as well as repair services, but I strongly advise against the Hasselblad 200 and 2000 series which has no parts supply or service support. I have the Hasselblad 503 CX and the Hasselblad 903 SWC...

    C41 develop. Time extend vs Replenish

    I have only used the time extension technique for C41 development. I use the replenishment method with XTOL and I found that not only works well, but also it is the least expensive way to go. If I knew how to replenish C41 development I would seriously consider using it. Recently I have been...

    Welcome to Photrio! The Acute Matte D is a very good screen but a split-image screen with surrounding micro prism is the easiest to focus.

    What is the current state and future of film availability especially 35mm?

    For those in large photographic markets, Los Angeles [Hollywood], New York, ... , there are many stores and custom labs and the rest of the world one can always get film on the internet. In the early 2000s the market experience shrinking, but not is is growing again.
