    The Ilford 120 film issue - which films have people seen affected?

    No 35mm or 6x6 negative will beat a 8"x10" negative, but the Zeiss optics will make a 16"x16" or 20"x20" that you would find acceptable with your standards.

    I need a filter holder for up to eight 15mm bayonet filters for the Nikon f/2.8 16mm AF Fisheye

    I found them on KEH.com and eBay by searching for Nikon bayonet filters. They are about 15mm across. https://www.keh.com/shop/nikon-bayonet-a2-b2-o56-orange-13-15-16mm-filter.html https://www.keh.com/shop/nikon-bayonet-b2-82a-13-15-16mm-filter.html...

    I use 120 film because I enjoy the performance, handling and use of the Hasselblad camera and lenses.

    Eye dominance and ability to compose a photo

    You could use PC lens. I have a Nikon fl2.8 28mm PC lens which is manual focus that I use in my Nikon AF cameras. On the other hand I do like your photograph which shows great detail at the bottom of the photograph -- well done.

    I need a filter holder for up to eight 15mm bayonet filters for the Nikon f/2.8 16mm AF Fisheye

    I just ordered 8 15mm bayonet filters for the rear of the Nikon f/2.8 16mm AF Fisheye lens, but I do not have any good way to store and carry those filters. Any suggests or recommendations will be appreciated. I think that a single page of a PrintFile slide holder sheet might work.

    Is Traditional Photography THAT Hard???

    I know it is more work, but I like the results of wet darkroom work better than digital files, so I do the work.

    Then the problem is the backing paper, ink, film, environmental factors and retail & distribution and how they interact.

    Eye dominance and ability to compose a photo

    But people look at a print or slide with both eyes.

    Eye dominance and ability to compose a photo

    It is called a waist lever finder, WLF, but is does not use stereo vision.

    Eye dominance and ability to compose a photo

    The so called one third rule has nothing to do with eye dominance, but is guidance to tell new photographers not to put everything in the center. the article writer is probably desperate to earn some money so he or she is blathering on about something they know nothing about.

    Motion Picture Film Used As Stills. Post Results Here.

    When I was shooting a lot of low light level or night photography I liked to use Tungsten or "Indoor" film. I found those films balanced well and had less color reciprocity failure than the daylight films.

    Shanghai GP3 100 220 - still an unfinished product?

    The need to RTFM, where the 'F' means something different from friendly. When I sold cameras, I was told by the manager not to show the customer how to load film so that the buyer would have to take out the manual and read it at least one, hopefully more than once.

    Opinions please, "Couples", crop this image or not?

    Formats can influence the composition. I prefer square to the 35mm rectangular which is a bit too wide. With 35mm I have to consider whether I cam compose with the whole form or plan on cropping later in the darkroom.

    Old lens new camera?

    If the lens mount is compatible, the lenses will work. Nikon has kept its lens mount and many old lenses can be used [manual focus on the newer cameras]. The AF lenses can be used on the oldest cameras as manual focus if rabbit ears are added for compatibility. Canon changed to a larger...

    I doubt that there is any correlation between dominant eye and third rule.

    What was your last photography related item that you sold, and why?

    I have not sold anything for years. Probably because I am cautious about making photographic purchases, especially lenses. That does not explain dropping about $2,000 on lenses in the last week, but that I covered in the recent purchases thread.

    Eye dominance and ability to compose a photo

    I am left handed but because of the orientation of the eye cup I use my right eye with the Hasselblad. For 35mm Nikon SLR photography I use either eye and never think about it.

    Opinions please, "Couples", crop this image or not?

    One or a few right down the middle compositions are fine, but many of them become static and boring. That is the reason for the guideline.

    Ricoh GR possible problem found for not turning on?

    I think that these two wires can be soldered back in place. Use only rosin core solder. Take the time to learn to solder and to detect a cold joint [it looks dull gray, reheat it and the joint will be properly soldered/] Welcome to APUG Photrio!!
