    Suggestion for classified section - Shipping info on title

    This would be a good idea, especially since many of the subscribers are not in the US. If I were elsewhere, I too would find that I could only determine if the item could be shipped to me required opening every single add, it would find it tiresome. A similar label for "EU Only" or...

    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    I have a leather holster and a black cloth holster for my Pentax Digital Spot Meter and when in either of the holsters it has been mistaken for a gun. That has happened often enough that I keep it in my camera bag until I need it.

    What would be Liquidol's shelf life in an unopened bottle?

    Test it before you use it or discard it. Then if it works, use it. I test all my developers before each batch of film as part of my procedure.

    Imbibing too much beer will interfere with loading the film on the reels.

    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    I stick with the B60 filters, but some filters are not available in the B60 size so for those few I bought a high quality B60 to 67mm adapter like you did.

    Water Evaporation Spots on Film

    I use PhotoFlo for 30 seconds to a minute, carefully following the instructions. Have the water run off the film as you hang the film. Hang the film and put a paper towel on the lower corners to draw off the water. Do not wipe or use squeegee.

    Do Glasses/Contact Lens Affect Focusing?

    When one eye was done, the other eye's cataract was so immature that the doctor called it "juvenile". That operation was 4 years ago and now the other eye is finally catching up.

    Do Glasses/Contact Lens Affect Focusing?

    After my cataract surgery, the implant has provided my dominate eye with 20/20 vision and good reading vision too. I have been waiting a few months for the other cataract surgery to be done to the second eye. As soon as a surgery suite open up we can start.

    How are you dealing with stuck screws?

    Once a screw has been chewed up, an "Easy Out" [drilling a hole, and using the left handed thread device] can work the screw out, but then one has to find the proper machine screw to go in. One of the best ways to avoid damaging the Phillips head screw is to have the proper JIS [Japanese]...

    Pink stain problems with TF-4 + HP5+

    Besides being annoying, can the pink color change the exposure of black & white variable paper? I have often wondered that.

    Do Glasses/Contact Lens Affect Focusing?

    I have used glasses for decades. Then I moved to contact lenses, first hard lenses and then soft lenses. I have always used glasses or contact lenses for range finder, slr and ground glass systems, and I have always found that any of the available eye correction systems will greatly improve...

    First roll of Harman Phoenix photos up!

    The Halation is enough to have me pass of this film. I am sure there are some people that love it, but I will wait for the next versions that they bring out. I am looking forward to the improvement and hope that is will fill my needs for 35mm color negative film.

    Padded backpack insert to fit a Hasselblad 501CM and 2 lenses?

    I prefer using a top loading camera backpack. I am using an old model Tamrac camera backpack with moveable separators, but it is an old old model so you are best off seeing what is available and works for you. I like a backpack with a waist strap, but other do not.

    Crud on top of negative

    I never use a squeegee, but I use a roller on the negative before putting the print in a print dryer, and I have not had problems with marks.

    Minimum equipment for fiber based printing at home?

    I have an Omega Arkay dual dri [sic] Professional Model 150 that I got in 2007 when they were practically giving them away. I had to replace the drying apron because it had gotten stained, but screens work well too.

    What's your latest new old camera ? (Part 2)

    What your parents did not know is that Leica went out of its way to save Jews. One of the things Leica did was to train as many Jews as it could to build and fix their cameras and sent them to the Leica factories in the US before the war broke out. Leica did more than that, but I do not have a...
