    Leica MP Shutter Issue

    While six years is not a long time between CLAs, a checkup to just address the problems that the repair person finds will correct the problem and a full CLA might not be needed.

    Curious about possibly using forever.com for archival digital photo storage

    Tried the Taco method. It didn't go well. What's the best 3x4 dev tank (that doesn't use 1+ liters of chems)?

    Bayonet lens shade interchangeability

    Tried the Taco method. It didn't go well. What's the best 3x4 dev tank (that doesn't use 1+ liters of chems)?

    I found that the Yankee tanks splashed a lot of the chemicals out. Other tanks are better. I have no recommendation for 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" tanks, only 4"x5" tanks.

    Don McCullin: Nobody wants the pictures I used to take.

    When I was regularly on graflex.org and bought two 4"x5" cameras from a retired Graflex and Graphic repairman, he advised that I remove the lens with the mounting board and use graphite on both sides, fire the shutter a number of times and then use canned air to blow off the excess. The cured...

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

    The Nikon F100 is the most advanced AF SLR that Nikon made without carrying around extra weight just to be able to machine gun a subject and blowing 36 exposures on one subject in at matter of seconds.

    Welcome to Photrio. Taking an idea from the press photographers during the first half of the twentieth century, wide angles lenses seem to be most useful for street photography. The choice of focal length depends on ones technique and experience.
