That is why one should buy the better polarizers, not the cheapest ones that show up on a web search.

I take several on trips. One cannot have too many.

My Hasselblad repairman recommends the 135mm Macro lens with the variable focus tube.

Prime reasons for using a polarizer for black & white film are get rid of specular reflections, glints and unwanted reflections [example: window reflections].

The California law went into effect just as I was buying my 4"x5" enlarger well over a decade ago and the law has never cause me a problem, except that I strongly dislike the early illumination delay of the first CFLs.

I have a box of 20 boxes of 10 sheets each of 4"x5" Kodak VividColor 160 film in my freezer, that I am too lazy to get of my ass shoot, develop and print. No viable excuses.

Thus polarizers are prime candidates for SLRs and view cameras.

This is my experience. I always start with one of our sponsors: FreeStyle.

Aside with the moderators' approval: The political approach is to blame the other party. Warning! Cut that political crap out now! Back to normal thread posting.

But All the darkroom lights, refrigerator and appliance bulbs, etc, are needed to catch this groups attention. We have to start somewhere.

The bans came in because of massive public pressure to reduce the use of electricity. The bans hit a hard spot when it was discovered that all incandescent bulbs could not be eliminated because at the time there were no replacements for speciality bulbs use as darkroom safe lights, enlarger...

I used to use it more. I have to get back to taking it out and trying more often.

I use the Acute-Matte D 42204 screen with cross hairs, no split screen or focusing circles. I too shoot pretty much exclusively shoot hand held!

We bought our first house at 9% and refinanced years later to add a floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom which took us to 11%. Every time the interest rate dropped enough we weould refinance down slowly to 6% over many years.

It would be nice to have AF for my Hasselblad, but that will never happen.

Every camera takes time to grow on one and Hasselblad is no different. Repeated usage is the path to become one with the camera. Each person has their preferences. Before I started using prisms on TLRs including the Mamiya C330, I would use the pop up magnifier. On Minoltas I had used split...

So long ago that I have forgotten, however I am in Samy's often picking up developed film and I see today's prices and that always caused my to cycle through that days replacement costs and what the impact will be. My point is that everything else necessary in life is going up so fast, that the...

Look for manufactures such as HP or Epson selling reconditioned scanners. Those are new ones that had a problem, were returned, repaired and fully tested, for a lot less money and a shorter warranty. Personally I am using a new, not reconditioned, Epson Perfection V850 Pro.

Is this why old people smell funny? 😕

I had something similar to that when I first got my Hasselblad. The Hasselblad repairman said the body got a little twisted, which can happen with many other cameras. He put the body in a jib and adjusted it back to factory specification. I never had any focusing issues since then. That may...

Well when I was growing up, my mother told me that I was special! So there! I am a proponent of one camera, one lens, one film and one developer when one is learning. I am and have being pursuing many other goals since then. I have explained many times why I only post technical examples...

On no again we agree! 😲

A pun that even I missed. Tim, you made my day!

Oh oh. We agree again.

One trip to the pharmacy for my prescriptions and the change in film prices easily go unnoticed. Or a trip to the gas station. <<insert many other examples here>>
