    Will there ever be another photographic movement?

    We could start an f/1.0 movement, if I can find a lens with that aperture. There was a Canon with an f/0.95 but I could never find one to buy.

    Paper

    No one but you want it. One side of the paper is slightly smoother and that is the side to place up in the easel. One side of the paper is slightly shiny and that is the side to place up in the easel. When you put down sod always remember "Green side up".

    Kentmere 100 & 400 in 120 format

    I have been following all the news about what Kentmere is doing and it has still not made me 30 pounds lighter and 50 years younger. This has to happen soon or Kodachrome will never come back!

    1960s Japanese cameras, are they good?

    I had a MInolta STR100 with the Rokkor f/2.8 21mm lens, the Rokkor 28mm lens and the Rokkor 50mm lens. I bought a Vivitar 85mm to 205mm pre Series I lens and its contrast was poor compared to the Rokkor lenses.

    Determining contrast for enlargement

    My point is that the grading scale in not set in concrete. It varies from company to company and product to product. What matters is the final print, not the numbers.

    Determining contrast for enlargement

    It does not matter what grade it is. How does the print look? That is what is important. 2.0? or 2.1? or 2.113? who cares?

    Kentmere 100 & 400 in 120 format

    I do not see any statement that the antihalation backing is not included in these films. I will probably buy some the next round of film buying.

    I rarely photograph is light sources in the composition, however avoiding films without the antihalation backing just removes having to worry about something that I should never had to worry about to begin with.

    Lens question

    I load all film format with the image upside down so what I am seeing on the easel appears right side up. Plus that keeps the subjects from sliding off the print and hitting their heads. 😖

    Honda motorcycles were good, but the first Honda car brought to the US, as Consumer Reports stated had a front bumper that could not stand up to a collision with anything more formidable than an overripe watermelon.

    Ilford "Something is coming"

    1960s Japanese cameras, are they good?

    Post WWII much of the items from Japan into the US were junk, but by the middle 1950's the Japanese cameras dispelled that image. The Japanese camera industry benefited from the war because they were able to freely copy the German cameras without fear of being penalized for copyright or patent...
