    The tail end of the film coming off of the reel track with rotary processing?

    I never had a that problem with 35mm or 120 film in the Jobo processor. I always advance the film as far as I can.

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

    I walked around San Francisco with my Hasselblad 503 CX with the 30mm Fisheye lens and the Hasselblad 903 CX for several days. I found that the Hasselblad 503 CX with the 30mm Fisheye lens got really H E A V Y!

    Advice on seasoning XTOL-R

    Not if I can help it. the development time is too short. I will start earlier the next day instead or run the air conditioner for a few hours to stabilize at a lower temperature.

    Rollei IR400 Development issues.

    I use Rollei IR 400 in 120 rolls. I shoot it at ISO 400 and adjust for the filter factors thusly: R23 open 2 f/stops R25 open 3 f/stops R29 open 4 f/stops 720 open 5 f/stops That works much better for me than screwing around figuring out the new ISO for each filter. This is the G-d meant it...

    Perishable skills. A frustrating return to the darkroom. Advice needed.

    Relax and take your time. Use Dextol developer stock for 2 minute development to eliminate the time variations. Use split grade printing to converge faster. Make a test strip for magenta at Grade 5. Once you have found the exposure, use that exposure and develop a test strip with the yellow...

    Hasselblad - Holy Trinity or 60-100-180?

    You have come to the right place. I own the 30mm Fisheye, 38mm 903 SWC, 50mm, 80mm, 100mm, 150mm, 250mm and 500mm lenses and the 2XE extender. I have heard that the 180mm is somewhat better than the 150mm. The 500mm lens is a tripod only shooting lens. I recommend: 50mm, 80mm and 250mm the...

    Ascorbic acid with no other developer in the mix?

    If it were just that easy Ilford and Kodak would not have spent all the money in Research and Development for XTOL and its equivalents.

    Current reliability of Xtol

    Same for me. Keep it in well sealed bottles of bags without air and I can last for years. I use StopLossBags™ from www.StopLossBags.com and order the correct funnel to fill them.

    Question on current films (b&w)

    I would go with this. First decide do you want traditional or tabular grain and the film speed. That will cut down the number of choices for Kodak or Ilford film. Shoot a few rolls and go from there.

    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    I was in Greece on one of the islands and I dropped in to a small camera store just to chat and ask were the "secret places" that only the locals knew about were. The owner took one look at my Hasselblad and gave me a bunch of Kodak Portra 400 120 rolls and told me that it was better that I use...

    The magic of the number 3.14 & the magic of film development.

    Thank you. This is an interesting observation. I do not expect to use it, but I will keep it in mind for use when there is not a good option available.

    The New Leitz - Wetzlar Leica M6 (and the dreaded film scratching issue)

    I am really sorry to hear this. I know that you were really looking forward to using this camera. What would the wait time be if you were to choose to have it repaired? I think that they should ship you another new one and repair this one to sell as reconditioned. that is what most...

    Not warming up to the SP45

    I started developing sheet film in trays and did not like that. Next I went to the Yankee tank and that shloshed out chemicals from the top, I kept moving up the price range and FreeStyle took back all the tanks as I upgraded and ended up the the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum. I have been a happy...

    Rochester is worst for overcast skies plus the number one tourist site is a cemetery and it goes down quickly from there.
