Instead, inhale, hold your breath, slowly squeeze the shutter release, then exhale. It sounds silly but remember to breathe, just like in swimming, skiing, snowboarding and ice skating. [The alternative is not so good. Relaxing is important for the enjoyment of photography.]

I have never needed a water pump either. The water flow will take care of that. Also one can use Hypo Clearing Agent to reduce the washing time and saving water.

I happen to use the high contrast Magenta first and then the low contrast Yellow second, followed with dodging and burning for each filter if and as needed. The order of the color filters does not matter. I get more POP sooner and with less time spend than I ever did with using a single grade...

I have had very good service with the Nikon 28mm to 200mm AF zoom lens and the Tamron 28mm to 300mm AF zoom lens. Perhaps KEH.com in the US can re-collimate the lens for you. They did it for my Hasselblad C 500mm lens, so they have the lab equipment which most places do not seem to have any...

I have a Kostiner which something that sounds to be the same generic type washer. The water has a bottom drain and can overflow the excess water. I have it placed in the bathtub and it works well. Welcome to Photrio

I agree one has to slowly fire the shutter of a TLR not push it down. 1/[lens focal length] is the typical longest shutter speed most can use. With the Hasselblad I use the 45 degree prism which is pressed against the forehead for three point stability with the hands.

Welcome to Photrio. Call KEH.com 800 342 5534 and ask for the repair department.

Do not use very wide angle lenses for portraits of people that you like. Especially do not have a face near the edge of a very wide angle lens' field of view.

What I learned so far: Leica has the highest resolution: 80megapixels Sony is the next in line with a lot of options and features Canon and Nikon seem to be about equal. I chose Nikon to have access to the collection of Nikon F lenses from AI-S to AF-D lenses. But this gets to religious...

If you are on a dock, walk up to the bow of the ship and aim a very wide angle lens up at the bow. Do you like what you see?

The Hasselblad SWC and the Minolta MC f/2.8 21mm lens [my first wide angle lens I bought in the early 1970s] while very useful, are not going to be as useful as lenses in the "normal" range. So I found that I had to just walk around and look for opportunities to use them well. Once I learned...

Feel free to ask in a post or PM.

First of all to minimize the convergent lines, check the bubble level and keep it as close to level as you can. Second, instead of getting as wide a photograph as you can, place one [or two] large objects close to the camera and let the rest fall where it may for striking compositions. Look...

Welcome to Photrio. The topic is the incomplete combatibility of Tamron lenses with film cameras.

I recently purchased the Nikon Z7ii which uses the older Nikon F lenses as well as the new Nikon Z lenses. I am still learning about all the features.

Welcome back to Photrio again!

I am glad that you found the negatives. Now to continue your quest for the darkroom equipment which will show up in the last place that you look for them. Best of luck with that.

Place all small parts in bowls. Separate bowls for parts from difference areas can save one time and confusion later as well as lost or missing parts.

Now that all [almost all?] filter manufacturers have stopped making black & white contrast filters and have cut back on most of the rest of the filters, the only place I can consistently find filters, especially the large or small ones is filterfind.net. If you have trouble there, email him...

The glass ones are stronger and less scratch resistant.

I was told two days ago by one of Samy's repairman that because he had not put a glass cover on his new Sony's screen yet, that he had accidentally scratched that camera's screen. He wished that he had not previously installed the protection screen.

I used glass marbles to displace the air in a large bottle and eventually discovered that the marbles make the bottle too heavy to conveniently use. I switched away from marbles, but I have not found a use for the marbles. I still have the marbles because I do not want others to say that I...

Welcome to Photrio! The Tamron 150mm to 600mm AF VC lens is compatible with the Nikon AF lenses and auto focuses but with its Tamron 2X it will not focus automatically. I confirmed that with Tamron that the 2X extender will not auto focus with ANY Nikon AF film cameras, but are completely...

Would you please show us a photograph of the shade and perhaps some design details. With slr, one can most of the time see the flare before the photograph has been taken, with range finder cameras, it can be harder to detect the flare and compensate. Every idea has its own pros and cons.

The life killer for all developers is exposure to air and oxidation. Accordion bottles eventually, usually sooner than later leak. I use 1 liter StopLossBags™ from www.StopLossBags.com and with them I have keep developers and replenished developers working for years. These bags allow one to...

Glass screen protector for my Nikon Z7ii. I just installed it.

Welcome to Photrio!

Portraits of people with interesting faces need not be famous to be enjoyed.

Or one could put a thin sheet of material in the bottom of the cold shoe to tighten the fit OR both if necessary.
