I like looking at portraits by like you I do not enjoy taking portraits.

Semitic languages read from left to right, so I was suggesting a more complete and inconclusive.

I have never had any problem with Ilford products.

No, and I have four rolls of 120 Ilford FP4+ read for that plus a roll of 620 Verichrome Pan for the Kodak Brown Hawkeye.

Any why you want to start controlling your responses now?

What is Zen? I want to know and I want to know now!

Adjusting ones spouse can be problematical.

It is part of the art of conversation. Introducing yourself and working up to requesting permission to take their portrait. Nothing deceitful about that.

First of all the two fisheye lenses I have, Hasselblad and Nikon, only use rear filters because the front lens is too curved to take a filter. Also, ever on 20mm lens a polarizer can cause wildly varying sky across the photograph rendering not very useful. A polarizer on a fisheye, if it were...

For now invest in a good carbon fiber tripod. I like and use Induro tripods which have interchangeable parts with other manufacturers.

I find that acquiring knowledge is not sufficient, one must also learn to apply the knowledge well and with ease. Therein lies the fly in the ointment.

You should use "those who use semitic languages" to be more technically correct and encompassing.

The cost of replenished XTOL is about as cheap as one can get for fine grain developer. Also some forms of pyro are also less expensive.

Thank you. The next time that I have a roll of film which want to make it difficult to load on a reel, I will reverse the film and load the emulsion on the outside.

Translation: Using coffee as a developer is using something convenient and cheap. If one want cheap, then one must pay the price. There is no free ride.

A number of developers also start with a lesser amount of water to mix with the reagents [liquid or powder] and then once the chemicals are in solution, water is added to the full amount. This accommodates the volume change from adding the reagents and avoids requiring slightly reduce amount of...

I do not see the problem. It only takes wall space, a nail and picture hanger if the print is matted and framed. If the face is interesting, people like portraits.

The Hasselblad lenses are made by Zeiss. And yes they are worth the money. They are sharper than most other lenses across the film plane. Look at the MTF curves. They have better contrast than most lenses and equal to other Zeiss lenses. They are well made with steel and not plastic so while...

The O56 Orange and R60 Red filters were available by special order from Nikon. It looks as though I will have an extra O56 filter, and if so I will consider selling it to an APUGger.

I do not see a need for a polarizer for a long lens. I have not used it for my Hasselblad 500mm lens which is equivalent to 312mm on a 35mm camera. I use the longer lenses mostly for wildlife and I am not dealing with spectacular reflections or the need to darken skies.

Maturing. :angel:

I am not sold on GP3 yet, but I trust Ilford FP4+ and I will respool it just before I want to use it for now.

The only thing missing is you.

:laugh:

Grease the o-ring and turn the battery cap counter clockwise until it clicks over the threads and then turn clockwise to tighten.

It shows that you are of a certain age.

Does it have the blue Vulcan blood like Mr. Spock?

+1 I have been using the freezer for all films since 2007 and never had a problem.

Use stock XTOL or replenished XTOL for finer grain.

You did better than I did. Another pass with the paint and it will look much better.
