When I am traveling by air I carry a top loading back pack with the Hasselblad 503 CX with the 50mm and 80mm lenses, and the Hasselblad 903 SWC. Everything stays on my back but the 503 with a lens or 903 which kind of balance with the pack. If the 503 always has the 45 degree PME and always...

. Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

Both are great films: HP5+ has traditional grain [generally larger clumpy grain] and Delta 400 has tabular grain [small regular shaped]. So choose which film you like. There are no wrong answers here.

The perfect film?

I would not bother. Shanghai film has should multiple quality control issues including initially using too weak a tape to hold the film together and various spots.

100 feet of Ektachrome made 18 rolls of 36 exposures. You have to calculate for shorter rolls and leads.

I am looking for a working XPAN with 30mm, 45mm, & 90mm lenses that you'd rather see being used by me, on a regular basics, than sitting in the closet, gathering dust. I am looking about for a functioning 'user', warts and all, no a collectable or valuable collectors piece (yes, I know they are...

Without humans it is not a movement; it is a revolution.

+1 It is a personal choice like using a GND.

$20 for the XPAN with the 30mm, 45mm and 90mm and not a cent less!

Keep searching several times a day on KEH, Amazon and eBay to find those if you cannot swallow the B&H and Adorama prices.

I choose the lens first. Most of what I use is the Hasselblad CF lenses and almost all the CF and later lenses use B60 filters so one set of filters is all that is needed. The last lens with the 95mm filter is a Tamron SP 150-600mm f5-6.3 DI VC USD G2 AF Lens and for that I will pay the...

TF-4 and TF5 do not require stop bath. I use stop bath for all other fixers.

Digital backs for Hasselblad and Rollei went away because of the low yield of sensor substrates kept the sensor so expensive that their was not a strong enough business market to keep it going.

Ever since I washed my hands, I can't do nothin' wid dem! Thank you.

Driving to a location in a beat up Chevy is not the same as going in a Rolls Royce and the handling of the Rolls will be much better.

I have finally located and purchased the 95mm filters I have been looking for: UV, green, medium yellow, orange, Red 23a and IR 720. In the past I could do that in a day or two. Now with aggressive and repetitive search day after day I have them being shipped to me. This took a lot more work...

@RalphLambrecht's book Beyound Monochrome "Way Beyond Monochrome" will answer questions for the beginner through expert darkroom processes and techniques. I still refer to it regularly. Plus he is still an active APUGPhotrio participant.

Any camera that can increase the interest and use of film.

Your underwater photographs with your Nikonos III are better than mine with the Nikonos V.

I keep a bound notebook of all the darkroom work including film time, development temperature, chemistry status for the film development and similar notes for printing. I have found it helpful to use it for reference.

Just ask someone near by to take the photograph. Most people will agree and the photograph will be much better.

The purpose of the selfie stick is to hit other people on the head when one is in a crowd.

I do not have a gun, so if you do not get off my lawn, I will not shoot you.

Now you are adding to my GAS! Thank you!

Some times contributors to Photrio in a local area manage to get together. Post a request for your area and see who response. Also go to classes. I learned a lot more than just darkroom work by attending a week long class given every year in May by Alan Ross in Yosemite National Park in Ansel...

Both. Here on Photrio you can get answers quickly as they arise when you cannot find the answers on your own. The only stupid question is the one that remains unasked. None of us were born with this knowledge and we all had to learn it somewhere or from someone. Many are here to payback the...

Basically the filters can go under any lenses as long as the filter is large enough and the size of the format does not matter.
