Unless they are in a California Fair Plan area and then they get pissy because they get hit with a brush surcharge.

Mine has "FOR HASSELBLAD" inscribed on it with a split ring in the center and no other markings. I suggest that you make a call to KEH as ask.

Thank you for the reference. I did not know the provenience.

This is also an example of what was common and acceptable with photography in the past that is not done now, photographing the dead as though they were living. This was also commonly done with still born and dead children. Today, this would raise eyebrows. Then there was the advantage that...

I have stock XTOL stored in 1 liter bags that are over a year old and they are still working.

Are the little blue pill included? You know, daddy's little helper.

I used a lot of GAF film, especially the higher speed slide films. I liked the GAF tungsten for long night exposures.

I agree picture is a better word choice here. I did not know the provenience of the picture although I had suspected that the subjects with the possible exception of the standing man were not living at the time it was created.

I cannot tell. It looks very posed and appears that it could be a painting or a sketch. Hence the need to post which it is, especially since there are visual discrepancies, such as is the background without without the man a painting or screen? So you have provided more reason that one should...

Since you were happy with Minolta in the past, consider a newer and later model similar camera from Minolta again.

I have always said the addition or removal of major objects, not all objects, not pimples. We agree here on the use to the term "visual vomit" in this situation as an appropriate label. I was poking fun at the extremes of some of the manipulated "photographs" posted on the internet.

Even the captions need translation to an intelligent spoken language.

In absence of a need, there is no reason to push or pull. If one takes the time to see the many articles posted by PE, there is no real pushing of speed, instead an increase in contrast and pushing really results in the decrease of contrast range. In this thread the cart is before the horse...

For the best results, shoot it with the lens cap on and then over develop to compensate for the under exposure.

In one court case, which I won, I showed a large print refuting the other side. The judge asked to see the negative which I produced. It was 120 film. The judge looked at the negative with a magnifying glass and declared that I won the case. This is why I am so hard over against adding or...

I never recall any discussions about Fuji doing custom orders since I joined APUG, only Ilford once a year in the spring.

The obvious answer is to move to MF and shoot 12 6x6 photographs with the perfect format Square using a Hasselblad or Rollei.

Thank you that is exactly were I was going with this.

Find the middle man or men who supply the larger photo supplies in your country. The people the manufactures sell to and then sell to the stores.

Theses days one has to roll their own.

It would be nice, but companies are not going to start up making 35mm film cameras much less Hasselblad and Rollei.

Unlikely. Kodak did produce cameras including Graphic and Graflex but an antitrust lawsuit from the government took Kodak out of the professional camera market.

There is no need to wait for retirement. Young'uns are welcome. Bring your own peeves and keep them fed.

Hunting down pet peeves is a personal joy for many people.

If you add cyan, yellow and magenta in equal proportion will serve as an neutral density filter. Carefully.

No. No company is obligated to discount the price of their products. I am sorry that you were disappointed with their response. Perhaps you need to contact a wholesaler.

It sounds as though it is out of adjustment or a part or parts as worn. A CLA with a Leica repairman should remedy that.

Would you point out an example of Fuji being arrogant? I have never found them so either professionally nor personally. In fact I have not come across an arrogant film or camera company, perhaps some making bad business decisions thinking that what they did in the past was good enough for the...

I had film and paper loose the emulsion with much shorter soaking times, especially with warm water, and the water does not need to be all that warm. The emulsion can just slide off as a whole or fall away in pieces. I find such long soaking times apocryphal.

Doesn't just ruin your day when someone kills your pet peeve?
