If you do not have film in the WideLux fire then cock the lens 100 to 300 times to move the lubricant around. Also part way cock the lens and move it back and forth many times before finishing the cocking. Best of luck finding service in the EU. It will be good to learn about who and where in...

Nikon GP-1a GPS sensor from @Ai Print

Only when I take the lens caps off. ROTHLMAO

I noticed that.

The subject is about walking around in the weeds taking photographs. On the other hand we are not talking about smoking weeds. :whistling:

I have seen lots of bad mouthing of f/22 and f/32 for 35mm and medium format lenses on the usual internet suspects, but I have never really seen it myself on the Hasselblad lenses.

The generally best performance for 35mm lenses is around f/5.6 - f/8, medium format is around f/8 - f/11 and 4"x5" is around f/11 - f/16. In small apertures diffraction starts to dominate. Polarizers in the right situations can bring a lot to landscape photography but are not good for the...

Mojave Greens are supposed to be the most venomous snake in North America. Its venom kills the tissue that it comes in contact with and leaves a void in the tissue when it heals.

I use PhotoFlo mixed as directed, not pouring a splash in the water, hang in a shower to dry and use a paper towel to draw off any liquid excess at each bottom corner and never wipe or touch the film. I leave it over night to dry. If the dried film is curled, run the shower to build up steam...

On more than one occasion I have seen Mojave Greens in the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. Whether they are very young or large and quite mature, they give plenty of warning with their rattles, since they really would not rather deal with us. However even though I have warned people not to go...

I voted for mechanic cameras, 35mm cameras, medium format cameras, large format cameras, , flash units and lenses. I should have added: other cameras [WideLux]

The mold growth on lenses can be stopped by placing the lens in bright sunlight for a number of days. Perhaps that could work for the camera bodies. Since I live in a dry climate, I have not had to clean mold from lenses or bodies myself so I am reluctant to recommend cleaning method which I...

I always used the light trap. I never has scratched film problems nor light leak problems. I enjoyed bulk loading film for many years. I also loaded the 100' rolls in a large changing bag in a dark room, not a darkroom, for safety.

I was unaware of that. Thank you for the information.

Do an internet search for the poppy reserves in Los Angeles county. It does not get as crowded as the one in Orange County and is about the same size.

Put the wide angle lens hood, open the camera back, set to lens to the largest aperture, set the shutter to 'B', open the back, fire the shutter and hold it open. Then look through the back of the lens and search the corners for vingetting.

It is better to find out before you mailed/shipped exposed or unexposed film than after.

Welcome to Photrio! Please show us the cameras that you made.

Welcome to Photrio! I visit Seattle often. Great city and great city for street photography.

Check to see if there is any lens cap information at Hasselblad Historical www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/HS/HSTable.aspx My Hasselblad 500mm C lens came with the gray cap. I will check the serial number to determine when it was made.

That happens to me with Nikon AF SLRs too. They just know. Maybe because their lives depend on sensing and reaction to dangers. We do have eye that are lined up in parallel and that marks us as carnivores.

Those marks still appear in my Jobo reels regardless of how hard I scrub them. I do not recall having that problem with Hewes reels.

There are standard light sources and standard calibration processes. That does not include a unique ISO standard K value. Some light meters, CDS, were more blue sensitive than non CDS meters, hence no specific K value.

And if they are all properly calibrated they should be the same. The question is for the same type of sensor how does the spectral response compare?

It turns out that a friend had inherited an older version from a friend and he sent it to me. It is comfortable with a large lens mount by its foot to the chest paid. The lens is about 8" long and it is comfortable to carry, disconnect and shoot and reattach. It now has a waterproof lens...

I purchased the Micnova GPS-N PLUS device from Amazon and while the webpage said that it is compatible with the Nikon Z7ii, it is not and I returned it.

Bump, note the price was lowered.

No, only if there is some problem with your local water that you can not correct otherwise. Certainly not as a matter of course without a need.

I reinvented myself as an engineer many times. In photography it was not so much as reinventing myself as learning new skills, using new types of equipment and going back into the darkroom again after over 60 years.

Very interesting. Great eye for the photograph. Welcome the Photrio!
