    How much gear to lug on my (hopefully) upcoming vacation

    Also wildlife takes one look at the lenses and moves the appropriate distance away to render their images too small to be interesting. The ice formations including into ice tunnels, caves and scenes with water. No polar bears there.

    Too much yellow on trees...'

    I had sent out several rolls of film with photographs of red rock to Dwayne's and they printed all the red rock and red ground green. I had to pay to send it all back to them to reprint. After an argument on the phone they finally daned to reprint them properly. I never used them again.

    Very strange Light leak

    It depends on the RF camera. They are not all built the same way. The OP has not told us which camera has the problem.

    Newly purchased Pentax Digital Spotmeter not accurate?

    I agree with @DREW WILEY especially if one is using slide film. It will make a difference if one is using the Zone System or the Zone System with darker filters.

    Very strange Light leak

    Not if it comes from the front of the film. You are implying that the light is coming through the back to the back of the film.

    Anybody buying Kodak B&W films nowadays?

    You might want to be checked out by an audiologist or ENT. Vinyl records sound well to everyone else.

    First use the AF mode and if that is not what you want switch to the MF mode.

    How much gear to lug on my (hopefully) upcoming vacation

    This Fall I am going to Europe and for a change taking a 35mm camera instead of the Hasselblad. Normally when I use 35mm I carry a Nikon N75 for color with a Tamron 28mm to 300mm AF zoom lens and Nikon F100 for color with a Nikon 28mm to 200mm AFzoom lens and they share a Nikon 20mm to 35mm AF...

    Very strange Light leak

    Since the light streak is in the bottom left, look for a light leak in the top right of the camera. If it is a range finder camera, it could be a problem in the upper housing.

    After Hasselblad developed and perfected the concept of a slr camera system. Then Nikon, having a pattern to build on, had the initiative to build a camera system for 35mm slrs.

    Tape recommendation for labeling bulk rolls.

    No, it was the simplest and easiest to use in the 1970's and 80's. I got the humor and added that I moved my thumb and left the cut thumb for the 'u' in your humor.

    Newly purchased Pentax Digital Spotmeter not accurate?

    When Alan Ross recommended that I buy a Pentax Digital Spot Meter at his Yosemite week long class and get it and all my cameras calibrated at the same place, if possible, and the same time, I took it to Quality Light Metric in Hollywood (now out of business retired). Since then all my camera...

    But if one understands and can use the Zone System exposure setting, then automatic bracketing is wasteful and very unnecessary.

    220 Cameras and Film Backs...Have Any, Think You Will Ever Use Them?

    I have so rarely found that to be necessary or useful, that if has been many years since I needed to bracket exposures. Of course if one owns stock in film companies then go ahead a bracket for everything.

    Showing your work, slide projection and why you photograph in the first place

    I put the exposed rolls in ZipLok™ sealed bags and refrigerate them. Since I am in a dry climate I do not have a moisture problem, but if I did I would put one of those descant driers from a medicine bottle in the bag too.
