It looks as though you can remove the plate on the bottom by using a hex head on the "silver" screw. See what is under there. Also it looks like the three holes in a row will take a tripod screw. Are there threads in those holes? Check the Nikon Z8 manual on page 22?

Great, your problem has been solved, now shoot more film.

Actually the Australian Aborigines managed to keep Australia from having mega fires or any large fires for 65,000 years. Left on their own, they took better care of their continent than the late comers who introduced cats to kill out indigenous animals and rabbits to destroy the fauna turning...

I agree, if I say so myself. Modesty is vastly overrated.

One can have maximum whites and maximum blacks by using split grade printing. Print with timing strips with Magenta. Get the best print timing. Then expose the paper for the best Magenta print in step 2 and expose timing strips on the save paper with Yellow. Pick out the best exposure with...

One does not need to worry about the results just: Shoot on a sunny day with grass and leaves. Conifer needles do not throw off the heat so look for diciduous trees with lots leaves. Backlit subject generally do not show the IR well, so have the bright sun behind you. The sky and water will...

HIE is a different animal than Rollei IR 400. Rollei IR 400 is the best available today.

What about Australia's great fires in the last few years? In the 65,000 years of the earliest and longest continuous civilization in the world, the Australian Aborigines never had any great fires because they figured out how to do controlled burns. The European descendants in Australia could...

I do not bother using IR film on cloudy day and in the shade. Cloudy days still have lots of UV light, one can get a bad sunburn, and the shade would not have the objects, such as leaves, heated thus not worth wasting the IR capability of the film. There are other films that are better for...

Some of my best work is when the camera was not loaded with film or the lens cap was left on [part of why I greatly prefer SLRs]. Your workout during the your hike allowed me to sit in a well padded computer chair and count it as my exercise for the month.

I disagree with your conclusions. While your meter doesn't read the same light as the film "sees" - the near IR light in question and the overall illumination is roughly proportional to the infrared light. That is close enough to get the Wood effect. Bracketing especially for those few...

The camera light meter. A spot meter will not tell you what the majority of the the light is, only one area and that may not be consistent with the general lighting.

XTOL, both stock and replenised.

I tried 6 f/stops initially and the negatives were on the thin side for darkroom printing. I have had no problem with 5 f/stops with the Red72/720 filter over a wide range of subjects and lighting. I have used the R23, R25, and R29 filters and they all work well but I have never shot the film...

Artists follow the line or lines of the composition and do not lock themselves with mindless restrictions.

Rollei IR 400 has the box speed of ISO 400. Use that, I have for years and never had a problem. The filter factor in f/stops for the four "Red" filters are Red23....2 f/stops Red25....3 f/stops Red29....4 f/stops Red72...5 f/stops I found that it is better to use the box speed and then adjust...

I mount my photographs and purchased photographs behind glass or plastic for UV protection and to protect the print. I do not care that the public prefers to buy prints behind glass.

As a Latin student I would taunt the French students by saying "Chumps Eleesy" and "Plotz de la Concord". I also would say, "Latin is a dead language. First it killed the Romans and now it is killing me!" "Why was Julius Caesar killed?" "He had to much Gaul." "All I learned from...

Mercy Buttercups!

As my grandmother would say. "A potch in tuchus always feels better on someone else's behind."

What is the French expression for "cutting the grass" "Mow de lawn"

No, just one of the more observant religious on his knees praying.

If they follow your advice than they would have nothing to bitch about. 🙄 🤣

There are several choices of glass and plexiglass: Anti glare UV Museum Quality Various combinations of the above three Plastic is preferred in Southern California because of earthquakes.

Put them in the bathroom and run the shower, make the room foggy, bring in the photographs, close the door. Repeat several times.

If you want to save time and frustration, get the camera CLA'd. Since you live in NYC, there must be camera repair people nearby. Consider calling first then sending to KEH.com.

The answer is deeply hidden in post #2. It is more costly to make. The demand for it, partially driven by cost, is less, therefore by supply and demand the price gets increased.

Just wondering, do you regularly walk around so unfocused? :laugh:

Before toning as @MattKing mentioned get the most out of the print. Consider using split grade printing to help get the most white of the whites and the most black of the blacks.
