I hope to see more companies come back to introducing new cameras. If they do, it probably will only be 35mm cameras. I do not see that happening for MF cameras, but someone may bring out a new 4"x5" camera.

👏

The count of my not working cameras is down to zero. When it gets above zero, I get that corrected quickly.

The spokesman has big hips? I did not know that.

I do not need the clutter. I only need one working and properly calibrated camera.

"Even a serviced one may quit the next day." Covered by warranty. Running out and buy another body instead of doing a CLA or repair can also again provide another faulty camera.

And the poster posted a retraction later.

But you missed the comment that the HOA in building next to mine and the unit owner got sued for violation the city noise code because someone had put wood floors in the bedrooms. The unit owner had to take out the hardwood floor and replace it with carpeting and was fined by the court and the...

The interest in film has now gotten large enough for Pentax to bring out a new camera.

Replenished XTOL gives better tonality and even finer grain.

I have very rarely needed a ND filter, I cannot remember when I used one.

Polaroid cameras can litter the countryside better than digital or other film cameras with the pealed off paper.

But some meter users are dumber than others.

The avatar was taken with an early digital camera and the sky is still just as it was the day it was taken.

If all the subject is in the shade on the ground then the sky is not needed in the photography while if all that is metered is the landscape below the horizon, the sky will nicely fit within the range of the slide film.

XTOL and replenished XTOL work well.

Only meter the subject, not the ground. The skies fell into place without a problem starting with Kodachrome 64, Ektachrome 64 and Ansco 100 on and I never had a problem with blown out skies.

A Voigtlander Vito II is small and pocketable when closed however it does not have a rangefinder and one should learn to use the depth of field markings on the lens for focusing.

The maximum I use for my 1540 tank and a Jobo processor is 500ml although it can take a liter.

What I posted works for slides as will as prints. You are making thing much too hard. A good slide film will keep the skies as they are meant to be. If you want to use a GND, fine, but there is no need to count the number of fairies on the head of a pin while juggling bowling pins at the same...

So the sections in the book are surreal ... 😕 I will have to sleep on that ...

Before making it a door stop, call KEH. They have repaired cameras that no one else would touch and brought it back to life.

You are looking at a lot of unneeded information. All one needs is a light reading without the sky in the field of view -- period. If one is looking at the Zone System then a spot meter reading in a shaded area and placing it the selected zone is all that is needed -- period. If the...

Enjoy and use in good health.

Yes, polarizers on very wide lenses such as a 21mm lens will make weirdly colored skies.

Much obliged. 🙇‍♂️

You are probably correct, but do you really want to walk through that mine field? :angel:

I still own the same cameras: circa 1928 4"x5" Graflex Model D 1958 4"x5" Pacemaker Speed Graphic

I like to set my own choice of boarder for each print.

At post #3 we have a winner! Then the OP will end up with a proper adjusted working camera and will know the health of his beloved F2.
