Nicely stated. Sometimes it has become necessary to use colorful language to get moderator's attention that there is a bad actor damaging the thread. I noticed that after reporting a bad actor on a thread, of course this includes in and out of the Soap Box, the bad behavior continues and grows.

Good point. The belligerency arises because some have seen that there are no moderators to stop them so the act out. Then seen that nothing happens, the build on that.

I agree with AgX. In the past we have had some contributors start a thread and then demand complete control of what is posted. That cuts out all useful ideas and options. Those contributors left with little or no loss to the community.

When there is a way to post photographs and not have them copied [Read: Stolen]. I will again post my photographs, but not until then.

I would consider it a landscape. One thing I do not do often enough is to look for close in subjects and especially looking around my feet. I do have some especially good photographs when I have looked down around my feet.

I am strongly left handed and I do not have a problem using my Hasselblads.

If you want to process color film, get a Jobo processor which controls the temperature and agitation and thus produces consistent results. You would still have to make prints of every negative so you can pick out the ones you want to enlarge.

I look forward to all of that being implemented.

I only started looking in the Soap Box because too many good thread were moved there because of postings about politics [the most common reason] or religion an infrequent reason]. The last two years there has been a newer pattern emerge: the same few non Soap Box posters purposely throwing in...

What is the difference between Minnesota and yogurt? Yogurt has culture.

When I worked at Kodak I was told that color film can be frozen for at least 20 years without problems and black & white film even longer. I never asked about freezing infrared film, however I have frozen black & white film longer than 10 years without a problem.

I bought the C 500mm lens from KEH for a price I could not walk away from, and the lens was jammed. If I sent it to Hasselblad NJ to do a CLA that would have cost over $3,000US to fix. KEH did the CLA as part of the sale warranty covering the shipping in both direction. KEH did a superb job...

Too many people who complain about cameras jamming go around half cocked. It figures.

Make sure the contacts are clean before putting in the new battery.

No, one needs to stick to two rules: Always make sure that both the lens and the body are cocked before attaching removing. Always put on the extender or extension tubes from the body out and add the lens last and then remove the cocked lens first and each extension from the end until the last...

I too would like a stretched version.

Thank you. I may contact him about making a WideLux negative carrier for my Omega enlarger since his are much less expensive.

And I appreciate your work.

Too many questions and not enough answers about this new company.

Yes, it seems that failed batches generally do not work. Go figure.

What thread sizes?

How were the films stored so that they could get mold in the first place?

It sounds like you do not RTFM for cameras and it sounds like you suffer from Operator Assisted Failures known as ab OAF*. Any camera can be damaged or rendered useless by not RTFM. :wink: * OAF: usage - The OAF did this or the OAF did that.

All paper developers including Dektol do not have a long life no matter how they are stored. An opened package even sealed is not as good as an unopened package. I have not had an unopened package of Dektol fail, but evidentially that can happen. Any marks, cracks, creases or other damage to...

I will wait to see if they can deliver on their claims.

So please explain exactly how you will get the infrared film to take photographs showing the infrared images without the proper filters such as R23, R25, R29, R72?

I have been freezing color film since 2005 and I have never had a problem including Kodak UltraColor 400, Kodak VividColor 160, and Velvia.
