I would not expect Tmax 400 and Forma 400 to have the same emulsion number.

I use FireFox with Adblocker Plus for FireFox, Privacy Badger and DuckDuckGo to block out the tracking.

Do you have any inkling why software is updated? And your degree in Computer Science came from where?

I agree. After following this thread I would not buy anything from them.

Mine is "the F100".

Well a large group of responders to this thread have torn and rented their clothes, poured ashes on their heads and are running around with their heads cut off will little or no reason to just give up in despair. Film will do the job, probably will little or no extra effort.

You should ask for your money back since the camera was not as promised. Talk about bait and switch!

I take batteries out of cameras that I will not be using for a while. It beats cleaning up the mess from batteries that have gone wrong.

I have taken some truly great photographs with the lens cap on. One of the reasons I now use SLRs.

In spite of such statements from a film manufacturer, there are those that insist that refrigerating or freezing film is bad for the film. Some people will believe anything.

Every time I looked into using 220 I found the choice of available films for 220 to be lacking. Now its become seriously lacking with Shanghai providing 220 film that does not have enough tape to hold the film onto the paper. .

Duh, last time I checked 'F' is still a consonant, not a vowel. No one goes about say "an Hasselblad" unless they are the silent 'h' people of the UK saying "an 'asselblad'.

HDR is just a crutch for digital because digital still cannot keep up with film. Besides this is an analog thread.

I would just as soon as euthanize the people, but then as I have pointed out I see things in black & white. I do not need no stinkin' grays!

In 1966 I was sleeping on the roof of an Athens Greece hotel, common practice for college students traveling abroad, and about 3 AM we hear this guy wandering up the street singing Bob Dylan's " ... everybody must get stoned ..."

A large piece of cardboard with reflective me material can be used to reflect light for fill in. I have never done that, but there are such reflectors for sale at the usual places.

Did they put down the bears or the stupid and selfish people?

Would you be interested in some Georgia or Florida swamp land? Really do you really think that you will sell off most of your cameras? Ever?

Ever notice that many songs have words that do not make sense or the whole song does not make sense?

Not working but I think that if you get it working, you will have to send it back and pay a restocking fee. Really if there was a reasonable way to fix it that KEH would be sold as AS IS?

Another pairing Tri-X and XTOL or 400 and XTOL. For a website supporting film I see a lot of gloom and doom. Time destroy all cameras, film and digital, and go back to hammers, chisels and stone slabs before the sky falls and all rains cause floods!

I know what to do! Lets form two lines with clubs and have the OP run between the two lines while being beating with the clubs. Way to go welcoming a new member who will not be here much longer if you keep making it much harder than it has to be. Soon the OP will be running back to his...

Different and interesting approaches to a sensitive subject.

Aside from the fact that friends do not let friends do stand development, the OP is looking only a using film to see if it can give him the results he would like. He is not nor has he requested training as a expert film chemist with a full darkroom. One step at a time and see if you can be...

When the time comes for learning the Zone System, it can be distilled down to the logic and steps to do the Zone System for exposure only. While some will disagree for the most part the film development part is no longer necessary since the exposure latitude of film is much greater now. At...

For a one time trial, one should not get burdened with the Zone System, especially with the endless. constant testing retesting and the self doubt. The OP wants to get the feel of using film and see if it meets his needs. He did not ask for learning to develop film, use an enlarger and become...

I use this for my 50mm CF lens.

Yes, that is the original cover bought when the album came out. Mine has some marks across it from sliding back and forth when I remove it from the shelf.

There are Hasselblad lens hoods, of various brands, that are for the 50mm lens. You appear to be using one that is a bit too short.

Oh yes and take the light meter reading without the sky in the view. That way the subject is exposed correctly and the sky will fall in its proper place.
