    Talk me out of a Rollei 6000 series camera

    Buy a Hasselblad 503 CX which still has lenses, parts and service readily available unlike the Rollei 6000 Series.

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

    I used them250mm CF lens with an off brand 2X extender for a while. I decided to upgrade to a 500mm C lens and then a 2XE. I am glad that I did. If you will use the 350mm lens, then by all means go ahead and get it. the 350mm lens is more maneuverable than the 500mm lens.

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

    The Nikon F100 is a newer design and much lighter. It handles the film in the same manner as the F4.

    Why do my Nikkormats have dented prism housings?

    People use ball peen hammers to make their Nikons and Nikkormats look as though they were combat photographers.

    Minolta or Pentax. One System has to go.

    Both are great camera systems and it does not cost you more money to keep both. So keep both.

    B&H Lists XTOl (5L) as Discontinued

    I have been using XTOL for over a decade and never had a sudden death or any other problem. Anyone knowing what they are doing developing film will always test a developer before using it to develop film especially if the developer has not been used for a long time. Therefore, I always test...

    Metering lower, pushing higher

    I tried a lot of methods, but the one that I found worked the best: Meter at box speed and without the sky in the light meter's field of view, this works for slides and prints, both black & white and color. If more shadow details are wanted either use a spot meter and the Zone System metering...

    What Hasselblad?

    I change film backs all the time. That is one of Hasselblads best features. I also change lenses. I always thought that Rolleiflex owners looked silly walking down the street with three cameras around their necks.

    I would rather Kodak work on making XTOL than a lousy bowl of soup. Not that is a term that I really had. Especially when there are good English words around starting with "developer".

    How Can I Get A Community Art's Center To Re-Open It's Now Dormant Darkroom?

    It will take a lot of work and perseverance to get the community darkroom reopened and more work to keep it going. I wish you the best in getting that done.

    A Hello and maybe some help.

    That is what I used, but ending up using what I saw through the upper lens to estimate the depth of field, know that it would be larger than what I was seeing.
