Welcome to Photrio!

I have only used the Hasselblad strap clips on my Hasselelblds and I have never had a problem with them.

I have been using XTOL and replenished XTOL for many years, mainly replenished XTOL. I have found it to be very forgiving and quite reliable, while providing fine grain, sharp and has great tonality. When properly sealed XTOL is very stable will last for over a year. I highly recommend it.

This is a worthy investment of your time and money. Enjoy it.

Welcome to Photrio!

That sounds much more likely.

Thank you. I did not know that.

The last post is also a good sanity check and a good starting point.

Perhaps if it were made in 135 and 120 formats.

I owned several MF TLR cameras including one SuperDolly folder with a wonderfully sharp Zeiss lens and a Mamiya C330 with the 65mm, 80mm and 250mm lenses and every option known in the known world. I traded in the later for a Hasselblad 503 CX in 2006 and I have never looked back. I also own...

Welcome to Photrio! Choose one film, one developer and stick with those until you are feel you really understand that pair. The try another film.

Thank you for another day in the life of Andrew O"Neill.

That sums it up very well.

Now go out and by the 250mm lens and the Hasselblad 903 SWC. Then you will be a very happy camper indeed.

Shoot at box speed with a Skylight 1A or UV filter.

Send both of them to a light meter calibration at the same lab and the differences will disappear.

Still too many. :mad:

I have thought about this problem particularly with 120 film, but I end up taking the film with me instead.

I no longer have the patience to print out every negative on every roll of C41 film, so I just send them off to be processed and printed for me so that I can look through all the prints at my own pace.

We agree on these. The last one we are on violent agreement.

Any old light meter that is over a decade old will most likely need to be adjusted for back into calibration regardless of the type of meter. To calibrate a light meter to a standard source includes more that just the reading accuracy, there drift adjust measurements that need to be returned as...

I would start by vacuuming it out first and then reassess the need for any more cleaning.

Refrigerating it will arrest the slow degradation while it is in the refrigerator, so go ahead a do it.

So do I. I believe that the Exa is also a left handed model, IIRC.

I had a Jobo CPE and a Jobo CPP2. I sold the first one off. The CPP2's lift are was broken off so I lift the tank or drum up. I prefer to use the lift to raise the tank or drum and pour the chemicals though the top.

Welcome to Photrio! Check out the Glen Echo park darkrooms.

I prefer the C film magazines to the A film magazines, especially with the added or supplied dark slide holders.

That is a wise move, as long as one sticks to the V Series and avoids buying 200 Series or 2000 Series. That way one does not get caught in the focal shutter supply and services.
