    When and how to rely on the Pentax 67 light meter

    I have always depended on the built-in meters of all the cameras I have owned. If I were you as long as films develop normally I would use it. If the photographs tend to drift off, then send it camera out to have the light meter adjusted.

    Storage of "in use" film?

    Southern California has a dry climate and I cannot remember one to two days only that were humid and that was when there was a hurricane. Hurricanes are extremely rare and when they come the humidity rises some but not to the point of getting humid.

    Is Hasselblad gliding mirror system prevents vignetting really?

    The problem is entirely in the mirror area. After a short time I stopped noticing it with the 150mm, 250mm and 500mm lenses.

    I leave the film in the camera in a cool, not cold location will good air circulation, even if it becomes years old.

    Looking for a solid point n shoot

    This is a thread where everyone jumps it with their personal point and shoot camera of choice. The Brownie Camera, more a box camera than a tradition point and shoot, is my favorite.

    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    I just received the Hasselblad Pro Shade (40231) with Bayonet 60 lens adapter ring from a Photrio member so my GAS has been relieved for at least 15 to 20 seconds.

    How hard is developing your own film really?

    Much easier than falling off a motorcycle. Know the steps, quantities, times, line up the equipment and chemicals, instructions and timing device. Take a deep breath and relax. Then you will be ready to start. It is not that hard.

    Shooting Daylight Balanced Color Film Under Tungsten Lighting With a Correction Filter

    Correct. Follow the spec sheet. I have been doing that for over 60 years including for color balance.

    New Ansel Adams Stamps

    The stamps arrived today. Because today's stamp are pealable rather then wetted to apply to the mail, there is no information on the back of the sheet. I will mount the sheet in the normal manner.

    Maybe there is a growing awareness of the analog revival as not just being "Nostalgic"...

    Doesn't taking multiple photographs, making sure that the exposure, contrast, viewing angle . . . are all properly balanced and aligned take much more work than using a larger format camera and taking only one photograph?

    Tripod recommendations?

    I found that Induro Tripods are as strong the big name tripods and have parts that are interchangeable big name tripods at more economical prices.

    In your opinion, what are the best modern 35mm film SLRs ever built?

    They do for photographers want to control exactly what is in or out of focus. They do for photographers want to use lenses that are not available for AF lenses such as Perspective Control lenses.

    What tank for metal reels?

    I do not remember the name of the FreeStyle brand stainless steel tank which works well. Also the NIKOR stainless steel tanks work well too. Both brands can dribble a little IF AT ALL, and I have gotten good usage from both. I have not had a problem exchanging or upgrading any products from...

    Maybe there is a growing awareness of the analog revival as not just being "Nostalgic"...

    While I do slow down slightly with larger format cameras, much of the slowing down is because I have a much larger view finder to study while I am composing. Given the larger view finder, I take more time to make sure that there will be no unwanted objects in the composition such as pole rising...

    SF Photo Gallery Pier 24 to Close, Collection acquired by Glenstone

    What tank for metal reels?

    The best way to go is to get the Hewes reels and trim the corners of the film.

    New Ansel Adams Stamps

    I did order one sheet which I will frame and hang next to my small collection of Ansel Adams prints. If this sheet of stamps has commentary printed on the back as a page of Civil War stamps I have, then I will fame the Ansel Adams stamps the same way.

    Thinking about a 350mm lens for the Hasselblad camera...

    On revisiting this topic, I have gotten a lot of use of my 250mm lens and do not get a lot of use of my 500mm lens. I think if I had a 350mm lens, that I would use it much more than the 500mm lens.

    In your opinion, what are the best modern 35mm film SLRs ever built?

    I think that the NIkon F100 is the best Nikon AF camera that Nikon built. It has all the best features without the weight and bulk of the F6, and without some of the unneeded features. I have the N75, two N80s, and F100. The F100 is the go to camera for my most serious AF 35mm work.
