    Dropped X-570. Lens stuck, etc. etc.

    But once it is repaired the camera will be a known item but buying another one can have any of many problems and then he will be worse off.

    Old roll of verichrome pan film... developing recommendations?

    It does not need a scientific study. It does not need endless useless repetitive testing. If the film turns dark in a few minutes the developer is good. This is a quick easy test to see if the developer is good. It does not need to go to black. I save film leaders just for this purpose and...

    Might have a problem...unexpected GAS

    GAS in not a problem. It is a gift to oneself for all the work one did earning money to pay for things others wanted or needed. Now is your time, so enjoy it.

    Cameras you don't click with.

    I found the learning curve very easy for the Hasselblad. The dark slide keeps the camera from firing and must be in in order to change film backs Make sure the lens and camera body are cocked before removing or putting on When extender or close up tubes are used put on the tube(s) or extender...

    Old roll of verichrome pan film... developing recommendations?

    I am looking for the development times for Verichrome Pan in XTOL or replenished XTOL. I was told stock XTOL is 5 minutes at 20°C.

    Yes, I'm starting another enlarger lens thread

    When I got back from Sacramento I went into my darkroom and started fiddling with the shim plates. I do not have a long enough knurled screw, but with a Phillips screw instead I added one more shim plate and now I have all three lenses on the turret for the first time! Thank you.

    Voigtlander Vito II - vanishing scale numbers

    The Voigtländer Vito II was my first serious camera and I learned to use the distance scale for determining the depth of field. You might try getting some white engraving wax to see if you can restore the numbers before buying another one, not the the replacement price is high.

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

    While the first one is interesting, I like the second one better. It is a matter of taste, so there is no wrong answer.

    Not really rules. Guidance and a starting place to learn about composition and its application.

    You should get out more and travel outside New Jersey, there is a whole world out there and it is not all flat horizons. :laugh:

    Light Meter advice needed.

    Unlike you I do have not scanned any slides and I have better things to do with my life than scan 100,000+ slides. The GND is useless for skies with trees, buildings or mountains on the horizon. Since I do not live in New Jersey my horizons are not at flat as a pancake.

    Light Meter advice needed.

    Once the photograph has been taken, missing information cannot be brought out. I see nothing wrong with the dark shadow on the lower right side, the world is like that. Do you think that you could always bring out a photo of Bambi from the shade of every photo? $5 please.

    You can pay me more than $5 for all the arguing that I have already done with you.

    Eye dominance and ability to compose a photo

    A 45 degree prism finder on a Medium Format camera would allow you to use either eye. I can and do use either eye with my Hasseblad with the PME prism.

    With over 100,000 slides I have never had the light clipped nor used a GND. Do you own stock in an GND manufacturer?

    Light Meter advice needed.

    The physics are the same for color slide, color negative and black & white negative film and all will expose properly. Your expectation level is unrealistic because the sky falls where it is supposed to and the way it is supposed to.
