    I sold many Instamatic 104's at E J Korvettes the summer of 1965 and no one ever came back to complain.

    The case for hoarding film.

    Hoarding film is much better than stealing film not only for ones karma but as a way to avoid going to jail.

    Well being a Leicaphile explains it all. That is like a junior level Hasselblad. :laugh:

    That is the correct word. However I do not have a way to reproduce what you did the same way that you did it. Also you could sent the snow here since we are in a many year drought.

    Still I would like to see that same thing done with a scene without snow.

    If spindle agitation produces density differences front to back...

    One important part is that, as advised by Kodak, develop for times longer than five minutes. That means some times we have to chill the chemistry first.

    Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong Focusing - Rate These Terrible Photos

    I will what for the OP's response after he gets the camera back, but I will not hold my breathe until that happens. It will happen in its own timing.

    Changing E-6 developer can the Stop Loss Bags be cleaned or should they be replaced?

    I would rinse it multiple times with tap water and allow to dry out before using for a different chemical of any type, not just developers.

    Mass Dev chart, versus...?

    That is often the inaccuracy, but sometime the times are wildly off. Do not use the MDC times for anything important the first time you try its numbers. Then adjust as necessary. Frankly my experience shows not to trust the MDC.

    I have the CPP2 with the lift and the only movements are the rotations and the lift and then end of each chemical. The filling is done in the horizontal position.

    If you're wondering about the appeal of crappy cameras..

    Over many years, decades, I have gotten very good performance from P&S cameras. But now that I bought top of the line equipment when the prices were low, I use the better cameras now.

    It would be interesting to see a scene without snow. White on white scenes need an incident meter and are very misleading when a reflectance meter is used.

    Mass Dev chart, versus...?

    I have come across many inaccuracies the MDC, to the point that I only use it when I cannot find any information from all the other possible sources that I know of.

    Should I try to repaint my camera being a total amateur?

    I agree. While you could pay a repairman to repaint it, the money would be better spent on having a CLA [Clean Lubricate and Adjust] or buying more film.

    Time to re-focus the scope of discussions on Photrio

    The Soap Box has been bought under the microscope because a new member with about 60 posts, Doucheman started firing up people on the Canadian Truck Drivers' strike by antagonizing the other posters with his antivax comments. He knew by reading the earlier posts that some members has lost love...

    The case for hoarding film.

    The most expensive part of having a darkroom is have the space for it. That is why I do not have a proper darkroom: a bedroom is the dry darkroom with the enlarger and print dyer, the master bathroom is the wet darkroom with the trays and print washer and the kitchen is where the Jobo processor...

    Pushing Portra 400

    First of all Kodak makes Portra 800. Both Portra 400 and Portra 800 have a very wide exposure latitude and there is little need to push the films. There was just a thread on this subject related to film reciprocity that has examples of exposure tests. Do a search on this website.

    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    My f/2.8 20mm to 35mm Nikon AF lens has gone rogue and left the scene so I replaced it with a f/2.8 20mm to 35mm Nikon AF-D lens. I also bought a few filter for various cameras for black & white photography.
