    Twist agitation - has anyone ever done tests?

    I have used a stick to turn reels, turned tanks over, moved a tank in a circle or figure eight and as long as I followed the tank manufacture's instruction I never had a development problem. Of course the 4"x5" Yankee tank did throw out chemicals when I agitated as instructed, so I brought the...

    Filter Factor and Development

    I agree. I always use the box speed on the meter and then adjust the exposure for the filter and/or Zone System.

    Filter Factor and Development

    If you are going to do more comparison testing please consider: Including the sky with clouds Multicolored subjects such as collections of flowers of red, orange, yellow, blue and green foliage Then you will see the filter effects better.

    Do I use Loctite?

    There are several levels of LockTight conveniently color coded. Be very careful in choosing since some of the stronger ones cannot be undone on camera equipment without damaging the camera since they were meant for automotive repairs.

    There's something wrong with this lens

    Conventions for indicating which film holders have film?

    I agree. Every book I read on it, every website that I checkwhen I started LF all said the same thing. If you assumed the opposite or were taught the opposite, just get over it. This reminds me of the story that on the end of World War II at a parade in New York one solder was out of step and...

    Best Practices when using a Tripod

    I knew that unless I was braced against a wall or part of a building, I could not shoot 1/8 second with a 50mm lens and would not bother to try, but I can still hand hold a 300mm lens at 1/500 second.

    Best Practices when using a Tripod

    There is a difference between hold a 300mm lens on a 35mm camera and a 6x7. I can had hold a 250mm Hasselblad lens shot at 1/500 or 1/250, but I cannot hand hold the 500mm lens on the same camera for the shortest shutter speed of 1/500.

    Best Practices when using a Tripod

    The defect is that a flimsy tripod was used. Without a stable tripod, all that is proved is that the tripod was flimsy. BFD! and I do not mean "big first down" either. The proves nothing except that the tester managed to waste both time and money. Try hanging a camera from a string then start...

    Best Practices when using a Tripod

    It ain't necessarily so - "Porgy and Bess" I have very sharp bird photographs taken with a hand held 300mm lens. Just because you can not, you should not project that on others which you often post on other threads.

    Are you relegated to the periphery of the art world

    It works in both cases. The relatively archaic that I referred to and in contemporary time such as the glass ceiling. Not just women, but races and nationalities past and present.

    Looking for Fuji GA645 Buying Tips

    If one orders something at KEH of a particular grade when KEH goes to fulfill the order, if the item at that level is not available, then KEH will sent the next highest available grade. I ordered a lens at EX, and got a lens at LN- instead at no extra cost.

    Looking for Fuji GA645 Buying Tips

    While I cannot make any suggestions relating to what to look for, I can recommend seeing what KEH.com has because if something is not right, KEH will let you get a refund, exchange or have it repaired for up to 6 months after the purchase. That takes the worry out of making a purchase.
