    I do all the time. In red rock country the subject brightness range can but up to 16 f/stops and I have never had a problem with ISO 400 film.

    Film for a newbie?

    I use ISO 400 films all the time. It is my choice for day time photography that allows me to photograph into the night.

    SEI Exposure Meter - how to calibrate?

    You should save yourself a lot of grief and send the two meters out to be calibrated together at the same lab. Believe me it is worth the cost to have all your light meters calibrated the same and correctly.

    The ultimate film washing method

    It depends on your water. I have always used tap water in Los Angeles and never had a problem even though the water is hard. For most of the US tap water does not cause a problem with film.

    Nikon F4 or F6

    I like the 20mm to 35m Nikon AF zoom and the 28mm to 200mm Nikon zoom [also the 28mm to 300mm Tamron AF zoom]. In the manual lens category I like the f/3.5 28mm PC-Nikkor lens for traveling especially when I am photographing buildings.

    The ultimate film washing method

    I never had a problem with PhotoFlo. I mixed it exactly per the directions. Soak for at least 30 seconds, I wait a minute. Hung the film and then rather than wipe the film, I put a paper towel at the lowest corner of the film and draw off the water solution with a paper towel. Never touch...

    New Processor: dev.a

    That is interesting. I wonder what the final costs will be including the three size tanks on Dev.a and similarly for the Filmomat. Now I could use a desktop Keronite machine.

    Nikon F4 or F6

    To the OP. You always wanted an F4. I always wanted a Bronica S and I ended up with a Hasselblad 503 CX, a Hasselblad 903 SWC and a bunch of Hasselblad lenses. I wonder what is in store for you.

    Question: 120 film lens for 4x5?

    [teasing]It is easy to get rid of the mirror image. Some people say you can no longer buy it, but I am here to tell you that you can. Just go to a camera store and ask for "film". It is that easy.[/teasting]

    Canon R2000 / lenses - reliability feedback requested

    When I buy a used camera or lens, I always assume that it will need a CLA even if it is from a camera store or KEH. Fortunately I have only had a few problems needing work on recently purchased lenses, and the one time there was a problem KEH took care of the CLA even though it clearly cost...
