    Why Ilford printing paper has not the 3/2 ratio in dimensions like of a 35mm film

    Not a reason. Not even a worthwhile excuse. Everywhere else people were able to make the change without a brouhaha. People in the US just need to get over themselves. You may want to do some research about the metric system before posting about converting to a decimal clock. That has never...

    It's just words, words, words: Describing and interpreting film performance.

    I disagree. The dark areas of the second photograph add to the composition, not distract. The depths of shadows are not always meant to be seen.

    Advice needed, visiting Ireland and Scotland

    Moving around quickly in Scotland and Ireland as we do in the US is not possible. The roads are for getting around, not traveling at 60 mph or 100kmph. 8 inches on a map, takes longer to travel.

    Post your landscape photos here

    When I got my first serious camera it was a 35mm Voightlander Vito II later followed by a Minolta SR7 and I shot only slides for decades. Hence the need and desire to do my composition in the view finder and not crop except for a tiny minority which were masked between sheets of glass.

    Photography is better for ones health than drinking alcohol and it is more productive.

    Advice needed, visiting Ireland and Scotland

    I found driving in Ireland or the UK easy. After two or three days at night I was dreaming that I was driving on the left side of the road without thinking about it. A GPS helps one find the way around.

    Hasselblad SWC/M viewfinder mask for 6x4.5?

    So we all violently agree that cropping an SWC is a waste! 👏

    People are exercising and feeding their pet peeve. One should never neglect a pet peeve, because PETA will come after them.

    Hasselblad SWC/M viewfinder mask for 6x4.5?

    It is easier and life is much better to shoot 6x6 the way it should be. :laugh:

    When I go off roading, things break and cost a whole lot more than a year of photography.

    Hasselblad SWC/M viewfinder mask for 6x4.5?

    The SWC has the 645 marks on the view finder, no need to invest in money for a mask or another view finder for the SWC.

    Reusing XTOL

    NOT AT ALL GUESS WORK! Just add 70ml stock solution to the one liter bottle. Pour off some from the bottle, add the 70ml and then use the poured off to top off the bottle. From then on add the 70ml per roll to the partially emptied bottle and top off from the tank and discard the excess. I...

    Reusing XTOL

    Just continue using the bottle. Either Adjust the time following the instructions OR start using the replenishment method by adding 70ml per roll. <=== This is what I do.

    The OP's cameras and lenses are obviously junk and he should end them to me to have them destroyed.

    Does anyone rewind partially exposed rolls in order to switch film?

    Now I just change film backs. I did it in the past with 35mm cameras and discovered that mistakes can be made putting it back in, it can get lost or forgotten. I have not done it since. Just buy another 35mm body and use that instead.

    The expense of shooting film

    Since you develop your own black & white film you know that the cost of stop bath with indicator and PhotoFlo are just so damned expensive!

    That is if one can find a boat slip on the west coast. That has been a problem for over half a century.
