    Pre soak/pre wash why or why not?

    Black & white film prewashing was scientifically, controlled and rationally addressed at length by PE. I suggest you do some research and read PE's work.

    Pre soak/pre wash why or why not?

    When I joined Photrio, then called APUG, I was introduced to the prewash discussions and prewash wars. At the time I had occasional rolls of film with uneven development, including Kodak and Ilford. After reading the comments and an extended PM discussion with PE, I tried prewashing. I found...

    Also once the film has been hung, take a paper towel and hold it to the lowest corner of the film to draw off the excess water.

    Pre soak/pre wash why or why not?

    I too prewash Ilford films too and doing that has never caused any problems. Doing such keeps the anti-halation dyes out of my replenished XTOL.

    Hasselblad 80mm Planar or 60mm Distagon CF for urban documentary project

    I use that 80mm lens the most. I found that the 60mm lenses is too close to the 80mm lens to be of much use. Therefore I use the 50mm lens with the 80mm lens as a pairing. I own the 30mm C Fisheye, 38mm 903 SWC, 50mm CF, 80mm CF, 100mm CF, 150mm CF, 250mm CF, 500mm C and the 2XE extender.

    Hasselblad A24 film back for 120 film?

    Since there were never enough 220 film emulsions for me, 220 film often cost more than twice the cost of two 120 rolls and processing a roll of 220 film also cost more than twice one roll of 120 film, I never saw a reason to buy A24 backs for my Hasselblads.

    Have you ever had issues in photographing residential property?

    That is what I do. Shoot from the street of other public property and move on. I cannot remember when someone bothered my about photographing buildings, people can be another problem. Then again, I do not do street photography.

    Is there a cheap way to do C41

    I can develop C421 films cheaply enough. My problem is taking the time to set up the darkroom to print each negative for a few rolls of 120 or 135 film. I just take the film to Samys and have them develop and print each roll.

    New development times for Kodak Verichrome Pan

    Verichrome Pan was discontinued because it contained Cadmium. To come up with a replacement would require R&D. Why would Kodak spend R&D money for a film with virtually no demand?

    Should I buy another film camera?

    "Should you buy another camera?" No, buy two of each so that you have a back up for each type of camera in every possible format.
