Pushing and pulling are for desperation photographs when nothing else will work. I avoid them like I avoid my ex.

Once I used the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum on the Jobo processor, I stayed with both of the and never looked back. Best investment ever!

Hasselblad 503 CX with the 30mm Fisheye C, 50mm CF, 80mm CF, 100mm CF, 150mm CF, 250mm CF and 500mm C lenses plus the 2XE extender and extension tubes AND the Hasselblad 903 SWC.

Rubbing a lens hard with a lens cloth or tissue even with lens cleaning fluid will damage the coatings!

A good camera repair person is your best friend and worth the money. Send it off to KEH for the repair.

Fourth Eye? My third eye is blind. Thank you for saving me money.

I just ordered it. Thank you for reminding me to do that.

On my list of things to do.

My girlfriend of over two decades loves my photographic work and is always encouraging me to take more photographs and expand my horizons.

When you find the 4"x5" drug film of your choice at a good price, buy up all that you can and all the necessary chemicals to save money and to keep the film and chemicals from hoarders.

I use stop bath until the indicator turns purple.

Just as one stocks up on film, since both film and chemicals will only increase in price, stock up on the chemicals at the same time. Better yet avoid the shipping cost, take a road trip to you photo supply pusher and load up the car.

For a given f/stop set the infinity sign at that f/stop and the in focus range will be at the maximum for that f/stop.

I use split grade printing so I normally use a test strip for magenta and one for the magenta exposure with a test strip of yellow. When I need to burn or dodge, I rarely need another test strip.

Use the box speed and if necessary adjust for shadows using the Zone System meter. Arbitrarily lowering the film speed from box speed brings out show details uniformly and reduces the high light range. That produces the uniform exposures making every photograph boringly the same.

Heuristic is a teaching or learning something. Heuristic programming is a form of AI.

Now shoot more film!

I have always gotten consistent development with C41 and black & white films from 35mm to 120 to 4"x5" sheet film. That is why I always use the Jobo processor and never went back to using Hewes reels and steel tanks.

I have never had a problem with my "darkroom bag" but then it is kept in a cool room and never folder up so it not had any stress put on its fabric.

Replace the PC port or send it to KEH and let them fix the problem.

The cameras probably sat too long without being used. Time to send them off for a Clean, Lubrication and Adjust [CLA].

I too use MFT graphs. The problem is there are not standards so two different manufacture's MFT graphs cannot be directly compared.

Since you are in an area with higher humidity, I recommend not storing cameras or lenses in leather cases or closed containers. I store mine on a bookshelf in my study and move them to a camera bag only when I am going to take the out to use them.

Great, now I just need someone with the tools, skills and talent to do the work for me. :whistling:

For years I have only used rotary for color and black & white and never had a problem.

Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

Not that I heard about.

I would like one too.

Cataract surgery is the only surgery from which one comes out better than they went in.
