    Converting 120 to 620

    Use the Hawkeye to spool to a 620 spool and then rewind that one to a 620 in a changing bag.

    Gripe: The Misery of 3:2 35mm Aspect Ratio

    At a lower resolution. Even with replenished XTOL the grain is too big with Tri-X to be useful.

    Gripe: The Misery of 3:2 35mm Aspect Ratio

    I agree that would have been better, but a poor choice of a standard had been set by Barnak had being lazy and multiplying by a factor of two from the movie industry standard.

    Gripe: The Misery of 3:2 35mm Aspect Ratio

    I have a Tessina and the half frame has the same problem but as 2:3 instead of 3:2.

    Gripe: The Misery of 3:2 35mm Aspect Ratio

    In addition to the points raised about the problems of the 3:2 format, I just find it often too wide. I would rather have 24mm x 30mm, 24mm x 28mm or 24mm x 24mm formats available.

    Best Vintage Nikon lenses.

    I like the Nikon 28mm to 200mm AF zoom lens because with one lens I can shoot most photographs from wide angle to telephoto. That save weight and provides added convenience for traveling.

    Is my film OK?

    When the film is dry and completely at room temperature you can safely use it.

    Nikon: Compatibility of old lenses to digital?

    Not my favorite camera article writer but "Nikon Lens Compatibility" by Ken Rockwell is a good place to start learning about which lenses work well with later film and digital cameras. https://kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm

    Ring lights is the craze waning?

    Ring lights are good for macro and close up photography and for dentists to take photographs of teeth. That is about it.

    Discard Negatives ??!!!

    In college one on the guys in the dorm had gotten engaged. He asked me take the wedding photographs. He was of the heavy persuasion as was his intended and both families. I was careful to make sure that no round or square object were in the photograph. In the darkroom I experimented tilting...

    Contact dermatitis? On darkroom safety

    Nitrile gloves are now so easy to buy and so inexpensive, it just makes sense to use them. And they are easier to use than tongs at times.

    Discard Negatives ??!!!

    I completely agree. I would not want my photographs reprinted at a Quickie Mart and then seen by anyone.

    Post your Infrared Photographs here

    I always start a box speed and then adjust for the filter. That way I can have a choice of filters, R23, R25, R29 and 720, and not have a different film speed for each filter. Also it I want I can easily make adjustments for shadows.

    Converting 120 to 620

    Since my Brownie Hawkeye camera will take a 120 spool and I only need a 620 spool to take up the film, I will skip buying one and just be careful to save the 620 spool after developing each roll.

    The expense of shooting film

    I was never one to just shoot off the rest of the roll of film to get it developed, but now I am even more reticent to do that.

    What's your trick/tip to keep the lines horizontal/vertical?

    Draw a grid on the easel and line up the negative without paper in the easel first.

    Replenish Xtol with a clone (Fomadon Excel, Adox XT-3 ..)

    When I have not used my replenished XTOL I test it with a film leader to make sure it is viable before I develop film with it.

    Does the identity of the sitter matter?

    That would not fit in the space allocated on the building.

    Does the identity of the sitter matter?

    My father would ask people he saw for permission and take their photographs. All of these people were just people he came across in his travels. All of those portraits are interesting in their own right and some of them were printed, framed and mounted on the walls of his home.

    If you could shoot only one Black & White film, what would it be?

    No. I used to but I have a lot of film in the freezer and it would take much too long to shoot a bulk roll since I shoot much more 120 film rather than 35mm.
