    Olympus Pen S occasionally skipping frames

    I recommend that you send the camera in for a CLA [Clear, Lubrication, Adjust] and that problem and any other should be corrected plus you will a warranty.

    Short rant about getting a flatbed scanner

    It comes with the system and it is automatically set to be set up and used. It goes to sleep and cannot be woken up. It hangs up the system and cannot be interrupted or reset. I have spent hours many times on the telephone getting it straightened out when it hangs up. Now I have gotten it to...

    Best/Worst Hasselblad Lenses For V Bodies

    One may require a CLA, but I never heard nor came across a bad one.

    Short rant about getting a flatbed scanner

    I had the V600 and now I have the V850 scanner. Both work well. Getting the shipping locks released properly and in order can be a problem. Beyond that return the unit and get another. I suggest to save money that you contact Epson and buy a reconditioned scanner. The warranty will be...

    Could Color Transparency Film Housed in Plastic Sleeving Be Negatively Effected Over Time?

    If any album material shows the slightest amount of adhesion to a print, color or black & white, do not attempt to remove the cover. Scan through the cover and work with the image the best one can with the software that one has available. Do not remove sticking covers.

    Often, therefore the choice of ISO 400 films.

    Leica M4 catastrophe... Need advice

    I agree. A check over of a new purchase is wise. One of the reasons I buy at KEH or Samy's Camera is that a CLA is covered if needed on a new purchase.

    They saw the image and since it would not be a highly limited photo, they cancelled the sale.

    External viewfinder report

    I purchased a 28mm, 35mm and 85mm versions for my Nikonos V camera. They work well. No problems.

    I immediately last several sales on mounted framed prints. At the time I posted the details and as a result I will rarely post photos as examples anywhere on the internet.

    The great Tiffen mystery

    Could it be for soft focus for portraits? Mount it in front of a lens and view it with and without the filter.

    Hasselblad 180mm Sonnar - Talk me in/out of purchasing it

    I agree that there is no need for a tripod support for any lenses other than the 350mm and the 500mm lenses. One would look funny on the 30mm Fisheye.

    Pentax: Two new compact film cameras planned - Pentax 17 announced June 2024

    Until the built in rechargeable battery burn out. Generally in the past, built in batteries do not have the survival life as a product with replaceable AA batteries. So buy your own rechargeable batteries for your camera instead, if that is one of your criteria.

    Ansel Adams Film and Method

    His books and others rarely talk about f/stops and shutter speeds because paper, chemical and equipment are constantly evolving. Putting such details are extraneous, would be quickly out dated and would never apply to a particular darkroom.

    Is this becoming a Hasselblad forum?

    Hasselblad equipment is compatible back to 1957. The only other cameras that might be able to make similar claims are Practica or Exacta.

    Is this becoming a Hasselblad forum?

    As a sixteen year old I had wanted the Bronica S in the worst way. Time advances, products and situations change, so when I went to trade in my Mamiya C330 with three lenses for a Rollei SL66, parts, lenses and service were already much better for owning a Hasselblad over Rollei. I bought at...

    Rollei 400 IR film in Xtol

    There are always so many birds here that that is never a problem, beside the discussion is about the Wood effect with IR film and not wildlife photography.

    And that is to be expected from a step above. Just as it would be from any self respecting 8"x10" or 16"x20" film camera.

    Ansel Adams Film and Method

    I agree. Alan has the personal contact working the negatives with Ansel, Ansel's notes and years of experience working with the negatives, so it is entirely possible that Alan could produce a better print.

    Is this an example of latent image fading, Fuji Acros II?

    I would chalk it up to different season, different lighting and different metering technique.
