    Ferrotype Glazing issue.

    Yes I was there six years before the invasion. Would you be more of a believer is the read "If one gets ferrotype to consistently work well, it is great, but until then no so. I have not used it since the late 1960's."

    Ferrotype Glazing issue.

    If one gets ferrotype to consistently work well, it is great, but until then no so. I have not used it since the late 1060's.

    Revisiting Tri-X 400 After Three Decades

    I have been using Tri-X at box speed since 1960. I never left it. I started using HP5+ around 2010 when I started shooting 4"x5" again and there was not Tri-X then. I still use Tri-X and use HP5+ when using 4"x5" or on occasion in other formats. My developer preference is replenished XTOL or...

    Hasselblad PM45 prism finder, yellow tint?

    Is there a filter over the eye piece? Is there anything on the prism opening? Directly to your question: No there should be no coloration from the prism; it should look like the Waist Level Finder, but larger without stray light coming in from the side.

    How big of an issue is mirror slap on Pentax 6x7 (thought I was getting MLU, but...)

    This is not a problem, if it were Pentax would have corrected it. The same comments are made about Hasselblad, and it is not a problem with Hasselblads either.

    Film Processing-How Much Empty Space for Tank Inversion?

    I never have needed to do that. On the other hand if I had a 5 reel tank and only 4 roll to develop, I would not hesitate to load that tank with one empty reel.

    Making my Hasselblad collection digital, or not?

    I was told by Samy's Camera that the 907 50 and 907 100 work the best with the CF lenses and switching back and forth between film and digital. That is why I am considering buying.

    What are some odd interactions you've had while out with your camera?

    I have had the same experience too with 4"x5", Hasselblad or 35mm camera and the Pentax Digital Light Meter in a leather or black cloth holster.

    New Ansel Adams Stamps

    I took the sheet of stamps to get framed, matching the frames of my Ansel Adams photographs. The stamp to framing cost ratio is 10.88 : 211.02 = 19.395 with a repeat offender's discount still seems high.

    Hi

    Welcome to Photrio! We are about the same age. When I was a teenager I wanted the Bronica S in the worst way. As an adult I ended up settling for Hasselblads. :laugh:

    How hard is developing your own film really?

    I prefer XTOL or an equivalent because it is very forgiving of pouring and time errors as well as being a fine grain developer and having very smooth tonality.

    Storage of "in use" film?

    In some areas storing cameras and lenses in leather lens cases or camera cases can cause mold to grow. Therefore I if I were I a damp climate, I would not store lenses or camera in leather bags. Since I am in a dry climate, I could store my lenses in cameras in the leather bags, but I have...

    Is this how a real photographer should dress

    I have not met anyone born before 1918 that I have recently met. Much less being from Russia. I must live a sheltered life.
