    Frankly, I do not care about selfies. I for one know what I look like and so does my friends and family.

    Is 220 film never coming back?

    From the start of 220 film, I got excited about 220 but quickly discovered that the choice of films was much too limited for me. I keep looking at which films are available in 220 and now the number is down to about one. So if I ever get a 220 film back it will be come a bookend for my...

    Pentax announces that they're working on new film cameras!

    That is an optics issue based on the design. Most people are not interested in taking photographs of flowers or what they are eating at the moment to show on Instagram. Smart phone take care of that market.

    Should we start a new photographic movement?

    Is there any interest out in the general public for a movement? Does anyone really care about a movement? Is there anyone on this website willing to start a movement if they could figure one out?

    A large camera store no longer sell black & white contrast filters!

    Yes they do, but I do not want to spend $325US on the Red23 when there are good used filters available. I had check them. For the Hasselblad I use Heleopan, B+W and Hasselblad so I am very familiar with them. Thank you for bring this up, I appreciate the thought.

    Back to film but will try hybrid workflow for the first time. Image acquisition and negative processing questions. Is a flatter file better?

    Start with small steps for people starting out. If too much information is provided at once, people get overwhelmed.

    `which are the best chemicals to use in B&W photography

    I found that XTOL is a fine grain developer with very smooth tonality that is very forgiving to errors such as variations in development time. I use it with stop bath with indicator.

    I checked with Tim Rice before I posted. He is out of all 95mm filters. I need a medium yellow and red23a.

    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    Two sets of Nikon Bayonet A2, B2, O56 Orange [13/15/16mm] filters. It cost more to return one than keep it. I will soon put it up for sale on Photrio Classified in a lens case. I will also have an extra Orange. Contact me if you are interested.

    CPE2 Processor - rotation speed

    I suggest that you put the film on the reel emulsion side out. That is the reverse of the curl and that may be much easier.

    A large camera store no longer sell black & white contrast filters!

    I went to Samys Camera on Fairfax yesterday and I was told that they no longer sell black & white contrast filters. They advised that I use the internet. Oh the humanity!

    The only place I trusted was Costco, so the next time this need arises, I will have to figure that out.

    Not larger than 16"x20". I have large enough trays but I do not like flipping paper that large, so I will pay someone who does it for a living. Besides someone has to keep them in business since you are not, evidentially. :wink:

    Which 35mm camera should I use for my first BW film?

    I buy software, I do not rent it. So if necessary I use GIMP. I use my darkroom and have no need for Fauxtow$hop.

    Is it the lab or me?

    The cup marks are definitely kinks in the film caused by the photofinisher. Take all of it back to the manager, sit down and have a very calm discussion.

    Hassleblad 100mm CFi incorrect DOF markings? f/32?

    I am willing to put up with that. Would you like to swap for my 100mm CF to get rid of that pesky f/32 on the aperture ring? I will pay for all shipping and the drinks at the bar.

    Which 35mm camera should I use for my first BW film?

    If it in not a silver gelatin print or RA4 print, then it is not a photograph and it does not exist and it is not real. Nothing on the internet is real; it is all ephemeral.

    What Cameras Can, and Should, Be Brought Back into Production?

    That is alright because when I like a panoramic photograph I will pay for custom matting and framing. I especially like your last photograph. Is that the Sepulveda tunnel under the LAX runways?

    We cannot even coalesce on the subject about whether photography is art or not and about what is art.

    A question for those who print from 135 film ...

    I do. I like the larger formats 6x6 and 4"x5" because the negatives are much easier to handle and I prefer the image quality of the larger negative.

    Yes the lenses is junk. Send it to me and I will swap the aperture ring and send back my CF with the f/32 aperture ring attached.
