Both are exactly the same thing. Working to make a photograph look like a painting. At least making a painting look like a photograph can have some appeal.

For $20,000US I could buy two and shoot in stereo, but where would the speakers be?

Thank you for that expanded clarification.

I am unaware of Samy's having armed robberies, but there were several in a short time in San Francisco.

My girl friend encourages me to by cameras and lenses.

Duh, the full moon is there on the negative. No trickery with that.

Both Samy's Camera and my repairman at Samy's advise against buying the Rollei 6000, Hasselblad 200 and Hasselblad 2000 due to lack of parts and service.

I would rather have blue leather on my Hasselblads.

Thank you for clarifying the background about the Sepulveda store. I had neglected to fill in the details.

Not true. Not everything is perfect with Hasselblads.

Start with the thread title. That shows complaints are going to follow.

So Sover Wong want people to go around half cocked.

A contradiction of terms

@wiltw has is wrong. I was a regular customer.

A basis engineering maxum: If it works, use it.

There were never plans for the Sepulveda store to go to rentals only. They made a lot of money on camera sales, selling supplies and processing. They had a strong business for West Los Angeles College and other schools' photographic classes.

Three votes for a repair shop.

My go to place for lens shutter repairs. [Non Hasselblad repairs]

... then walk into the bathroom, look directly at the mirror to see the cause of the problem.

And how exactly could anyone line up the photograph with the mirror up?

The Samy's on Sepulveda was closed because the property owner would not renew the lease. All those employees were transfered to the Fairfax store.

Yes and we all know that stop bath, stop bath with indicator and Acetic acid are just so damned expensive! But for black & white film, TF4 and TF5 do not need stop bath et al. Color film is another discussion.

And you will will be very hard pressed to find one. I have better photographs in my darkroom trash can.

I am looking for the Wood Effect, not using the Zone System to get every bit of shadow detail possible. I use Red23, Red25, R3d29 and 720 filters.

Nikonos V only, not IV-A.

I have had good success with internal and external reflectance meters for HIE and Rollei IR 400, both at ISO 400 and then adjusted for the red filter used.
