The more that you use it, the more you will learn how to take advantage of it. If you were to take a photograph of a natural rock formation which does not have 90 degree angles or regular forms on it, one would not know that the photograph was taken with a fisheye lens, for example. The same...

Welcome to Photrio! My question to you is do you pronounce the second 't' in Toronto or not? What is the rule for dropping the second 't'? ;)

PE, Photo Engineer, a former Kodak film and chemical research and development engineer who contributed to this website for decades advised against mixing partial packages of chemicals. Take some time to search out his posts and threads and you will find a wealth of information.

When one makes money on someone else's art, then there are copyright issues come to bear. The subject of derivative use is one for the lawyers and legal authorities.

My Certo SuperDolly was circa 1933-35 and it handled 645 and 6x6, but the 645 windows did not line up with today's films, the markings did not show up in its windows.

That is exactly why I post that I use a block of linoleum from art supply stores to tap the tank against.

The air is too dry. Before hanging the film, run the shower, steaming up the room to decrease the film curling.

At a point the developer stops working. That is a big hint. Stop bath with indicator turns purple. That is a brightly colored indication. Fixer fails testing with Hypo Check. That is another indicator. After a while, when one of these goes bad, it is getting to the point that all of them...

Welcome to Photrio from a Nikon AF SLR, Nikon Z7ii and Hasselblad user.

Often complaints about film artifacts are traced back to scanning problems. Any time a method or technique is added to a process, there is a possibility of adding artifacts.

Please take photographs of the negatives to help resolve any scanner issue.

I have never had a problem here on Photrio. Recently I purchased an item that did not work on my camera. I contacted the seller and he told me to return it. The day after he received it, my money was put back into my PayPal account.

Because the SWC is rectilinearly correct, it is much easily to take photographs without the distortion when one takes care to use it with the spirit level. Practice makes perfect.

Welcome to Photrio If it is air bells, each time a new solution it poured into the tank, thump the tank quickly several times just after the solution if first poured in. I found thumping the tank on a thick piece of linoleum from an art supply store provides the a thump that can move the air...

Welcome to Photrio. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work and posts.

"I see" said the blind man to his deaf wife as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Welcome to Photrio. I have not needed to repair my F100's door latch, but the camera is worth repairing. It is my "go to" 35mm camera when I want to do serious 35mm photography.

I am confused. Using ISO 32 the negative is thin but ISO 80, which is not the real film speed, provided a denser, more usable negative? This needs some 'splaining, please.

I "discovered" gauntlet ski/snowboard gloves with internal liners in Banff years ago. They are great with or without the chemical hand warmer packets in cold weather.

I happened upon the O Winston Museum in Roanoke Virginia and had a wonderful time there. Brought some of his books with his steam engine photographs. Definitely worth the time if you are in the area. https://roanokehistory.org/

I use an Arkay 150 drum print dryer that I picked up for small pocket change from a photo finisher selling off its darkroom equipment and switching over to digital equipment.

I am definitely a late bloomer in this collection of members.

When I was putting together the family genealogy I learned that in the US during the 19th and early 20th century it was common for a family to have multiple spelling for the family names and often on given names on legal records and censuses.

I use Ilford HP5+ because there is not Tri-X 400 in 4"x5". I like to remove the lens cap and then pull the dark slide. I often manage to do that on the first sheet almost every time. With my focal plane shutters and 4"x5" I like to remove the lens cap, open the shutter, pull the dark slide...

What I typically see is that the contrast of the darker areas and the highlights are increased when compared to a single grade print.

I should have reported the destruction of my Nikon SB800 strobe damage.

If you have any package of batteries leak or "grow beards" call the company [Every Ready, Duracell, ... ] with the expiration dates on the batteries and package numbers. They will send coupons for money off batteries, but the coupons will not work at Costco.

I have the 30mm C Fisheye, 38mm CF SWC, 50mm CF, 80mm CF, 100mm CF, 150mm CF, 250mm CF, 500mm C and the 2XE extender. No 120mm nor 135mm lenses.

A late comer or a late bloomer? :whistling:
