Well you got your money's worth for your subscription.

One can never have too many cameras. One can never have too many that one cannot use.

For years I could only afford one lens. My overrated Hasselblad is greatly appreciated and enjoyed.

So much wrong with this, however starting off with one camera, one lens, one film and one developer and using only those is a great way to learn about photography and the tools one has.

Still only one. The only one I ever owned. Chromega Dichroic II 5D-XL [4"x5"]

I want a self eating watermelon.

your "best lo-fi lens" is like producing a self eating watermelon.

XTOL forever!

Yes when it is held on the wrist with a wrist strap is it awkward. A prism makes is heavy and awkward [getting two for one]. I have one with a wrist strap, prism, cassettes, and cassette loader at a reasonable price if you are interested. But it does qualify as very small.

Yellow, Orange and R23 filters bring out the clouds but do not turn the sky black. I save the R25A [most common red filter], R29 and R72 [720] for infrared photography.

Oh so you like the whole photograph to be out of focus. Good to know. :angel: The OP is new to film photography and it would be better for him to have a large and forgiving depth of field.

Polarizing filters darken the sky and brings out the clouds better.

Fast film allows for larger f/stop numbers and therefore greater depths of field. What is wrong with that?

400, 400, and 400. Meter without the sky.

Where I have had problems is when the manufacture has not published development time for films, then the MDC times are too often too short. If I need information like that I search first then if necessary post a question on APUG Photrio.

I disagree. Manufactures test the other films in their developers. There reputation depends on it. The error come from wannabes thinking that they know more than the manufactures and come up with their own times based more on what they had for breakfast than rigorous scientific testing...

And If Rollei TLRs are your camera, you get to walk down the street with three TLRs hanging from you neck, Wide, Normal and Tele providing maximum bling.

No, I got burned a number of times years ago, so I just stay away from it.

Light piping. The exposed roll was not wound tightly enough and left in too much light. I use black plastic cases of all my exposed 120 film. Some to the black is from the plastic or steel development reels. There is not a lot one can do about that other than to scrub the reels with a tooth...

Forums are a bad place to get photographs evaluated. Most cameras clubs, if you can still find them, are a better place to start. Most people start by not moving in close enough, so I usually start there with a budding photographer.

Yes that is the word I was looking for.

I found that at times the MDC is so inaccurate that if I cannot find any customer technical data sheets or some other calibrated source, I would ask my ex who knows nothing about photography before I would use the MDC. :whistling:

Oh, I did not know. Thank you for the update.

Tessina which is a twin reflex and twin lenses and all mechanical that shoots 35mm film.

As others posted the term ambiguous is too vague. I suggest you start looking a 35mm Point & Shoot cameras which come in a great variety.

Since the mouth is smaller, I have found that it is much easier for me to control the pouring. It comes with a special fitted funnel so filling is not difficult.

Use a graduated measurement cylinder.

Slip on filter adapters use Series Filters such as series 5, series 6, series 7, series 8 which do not have threads.

There is no need to underexpose. Underexposing looses shadow details. When film is underexposures information is lost forever and cannot be retrieved in the darkroom or by digital methods. In fact some overexposure will capture more details that can be brought out by printing techniques. In...

Use box speed and take the light reading without the sky. That will bring out the colors better for slides or provide better shadow detail for black & white or color negatives. Essentially automatically giving you the benefit of an EI without all the testing.
