It dates to a law passed by the City of London when crossing London Bridge. I do not have a quick reference on that. It was supposed to prevent sword play but when drafted it mistaken was written that when north bound on was to have be on the upstream side, when it should have said when north...
It has nothing to do with Henry Ford. Prior to the American Revolution, from the first colony, North and South Americans had it correct by staying to the right on the roads.
First of all no soup is involved with replenishment. Secondly replenishment is done at the end of each development session, so there is no bookkeeping involved that is more than what is encountered without replenishment.
HBC would not allow his photographs to be cropped, do would the crop everything crowd loudly proclaim the HBC was a lousy photographer. Those that do take photographs composed in the viewfinder; those that can't, crop. :P
So you loaded developed film on the reel, developed them again, and now the film has scratches? Nice video but it seemed vague that removed the developed film and replaced it with exposed undeveloped film. ;)
I would have used the Nikon 15mm AIS lens with a 110° wide field of view and cropped or used the WideLux with a 140° wide field of view without cropping. Use the right tools for the job and cropping can be used much less.
No so. With the higher success rate and consistent development, the 3010's cost will be amortized to almost nothing per sheet because more film will be shot.
Working on the shutter requires that all the lenses be removed and then reassembled and collimated. Not cheap. It cost me nothing since I bought it from KEH.
I brought a 4"x5" Pacemaker Speed Graphic which I can use for landscape and architecture on a tripod or hand held. I also have a 4"x5" Graflex Model D for kicks.
I first tired tray development and did not like that for multiple reasons.
I went to FreeStyle which lets one bring back equipment within so many days:
Yankee Tanks sloshed chemistry when moving back and forth across the table.
I tired several other tanks and ended up with the Jobo 3010 Expert...
When that happens I adjust the format or focal length or both. Only in and act of desperation, will I photograph knowing that I have to crop it in the darkroom. There are enough other compositions in the world.
I learned to use the viewfinder to compose using the full field of view when I shot slides. Therefore for all formats I compose the the viewfinder and do not need to crop later.
They call that a sell by date, but on occasion I have gotten milk before the sell by date and it was bad. Returned it to the store to exchange. Did it get too warm during transportation? Did bacteria get in it? Who knows?
