When I used Diafine as a teenager I thought it gave mushy edges. No decent edge sharpness, but that was a while ago.

Of course because we all know that replenished XTOL "is the best developer in the world! It’s the “Silver Bullet” of developers that we all search for."

I presoak all film except Kodak Tri-X when processing in XTOL using a Jobo processor because both Kodak and Jobo clearly state not to.

That is what refrigerators and freezers are for.

Correction Hardware Software System Engineer and Computer Architect but not a film engineer nor a chemist. Hence I do not post about the details of film chemistry nor the details of film development chemistry.

No, not collectors but film photographers who want to keep the discontinued films out of the hands of the hoarders.

Ditto. Gratuitous knee jerk automatic reducing the film speed from box speed does not help the rest of us. If one shoots box speed and always keeps the sky out of the meter field of view, the shadows will automatically appear OR shoot box speed and use a spot meter to put the shadow details in...

The cost difference is not much at Photographer's Formulary.

You are looking for a problem that does not exist. The Stray Light Mask keeps out light when one of the other masks are not in use. The masks are easily swapped out.

My Hasselblad only uses a battery for the light meter. No buttons needed here.

I could take a tablet and the film would be developed? Now that would be really cool!

I understand it depends were you live.

Does your birth certificate say Nordstroms across the top. If not, you will probably not have a return policy.

Button, button, who has the button?

I have had body part replacement and modifications. However, I am tired of piece part replacement of body parts. I want a full body replacement with one recovery and one rehabilitation. I have talked to my doctors and they are all in and want to sign up too, but they are afraid that Medicare...

Over the years we have had people come to us with problems that turned out to be caused by scanners, made worse by scanners, or at least notably impacted by scanners. That is not to say that scanners are the root of all problems. In fact many times scanners have been quite useful, but one...

If you are doing portraits consider the 180 over the 150, otherwise jump to the 250 directly. Even with the 500 and the 2x extender, it is not long enough for wildlife such as picking a bison out in the distance. Yes you will eventually want the 100 especially since it is so sharp, but it is a...

I would have rather had a three pin 120 system, but he does not have that available. More awkward for storing, but I will work it out.

The OP's drug of choice is Hasselblad. Sorry, but you are late to the party.

Yes to the first three. Not necessarily to the last.

I have on order Lynn Radeka's masking carrier kit. Once it arrives and I read though what is there, I will reread the Way Beyond Monochrome chapters and then contact Lynn about his workshops since he is not that far from me. Thank for your recommendations.

I do not worry about originality; I look for what pleases me and then often originality emerges.

These days we can get our spouses and ourselves refurbished.

No worries. When he goes, he will take it with him.

Yes, I am still sane. If I was insane I might be as happy as the Mad Hatter.

Thank you. I subscribed to their emailing and I will watch to see what develops. Pun intended. I have plenty of Pyrocat-HD in Glycol so it will be a long time before I buy more pyro.

I buy film and freeze it until it is time to use it. When I hear that a film is about to be discontinued or has been discontinued I will buy it I am interested in it. The first time I did that was for HIE and for Kodak UltraColor 400. I should have bought more HIE. I walked into a pharmacy...

Good idea but they only work once and are therefore not as cost effective as the plastic filter wrenches.

That you for supplying that very useful and specific information. And ... Welcome to APUG Photrio!!
