    I love it - the Nikon N80

    Nor was I. I was pointing out viable alternates to the 28mm-70mm [or 80mm] option.

    Any Hasselblad photographers have or use HC3/70 prism viewfinder?

    That would be a 45° PM, not a 45° PME. E stands for built in exposure meter. I too did not like the light intruding from the sides of the LWF, but the left right reversal of the WLF is even worse for me following a moving subject.

    Long Lasting Film Developer

    XTOL and Replenished XTOL are long lasting film developer IF AND ONLY IF the bottles are tightly sealed without air. I use StopLossBags™ from StopLossBags.com with their funnel because their bags allow me to force the air out of the bag. But this is true for any long lasting developer ===> All...

    Just Landed a Nikon F4S - Anything I should know/do/lookout for?

    The OP should buy more film. In fact before the price goes up again, buy a lot of film and store it in the freezer.

    I love it - the Nikon N80

    I prefer the Nikon 28mm to 200mm AF zoom lens and the Tamron 28mm to 300mm AF zoom lens because it means that I almost always have the right lens for the moment and both a macro focus for very close ups. One of those and my Nikon 20mm to 35mm lens are all I need to a long vacation in Europe...

    Any Hasselblad photographers have or use HC3/70 prism viewfinder?

    I deal with the weight and would not be caught with out the 45° PME. In fact the WLF was removed at the store and replaced by the 45° PME. The WLF has never been on by camera since. Why? The 45° PME gets rid of the left right reversal, making it easier to follow the subject.

    Reconditioning old leather camera straps

    Vegans and vegetarians would not be using leather anything, so they would have leather straps. Oh and they could not be using film because the film base is gelatin which is made from animals.

    What’s the quickest you’ve received your int’l purchase?

    If it was not so frustrating and time consuming, it would be funny. Also we have to pay for the ping pong ball bouncing.

    Discard Negatives ??!!!

    $10K for what? The storage costs for negatives is almost nil. PrintFile sheets are cheap and so are cases for them.

    What Gray Card?

    All of that has never been a problem because an incident meter solves those problems easily and well.

    What Gray Card?

    Why so much fuss and bother when one can get light meters calibrated by light meter specialists. I have had all my light meters calibrated and I do not need no stinkin' gray card.

    Discard Negatives ??!!!

    Keep them. Once thrown out they can never be retrieved or replaced. Maybe in the future you get a better scanner with a higher resolution.

    Discard Negatives ??!!!

    That is why it is a bad idea to just download a will from the internet. That will may not be valid in your State or Provence.

    Lightmeter apps

    I use ZoneView for kicks to see the SBR in EV and f/stop and shutter speed. I have never used it to taking a photograph.

    That would be their problem. I would tell them to take a hike if they did not trust me.

    Street photography in Europe - is law that strict?

    I start off asking in the local language the best I can if they speak English, and usually somehow we manage to communicate well enough. It is always better to start with "Hello" in the local language first rather than first launching into any questions.
