I am 75 and I have been resisting going down the rabbit hole of pin registration, however I am pulled to jump in because of the dwindling supply of equipment. It is only the strength of my steel will that has kept me from going over to the pin side.

Buy the best camera you can afford. But note that if a camera and lenses cause more, one just has to wait longer between buying additional lenses. Of course I would never encourage one to wait for the Twelfth of Never.

I use a Hasselblad which is similar to your camera. From the start I did not like the left right reversal and put on a focusing prism just as you have. I find it works for me like a large 35mm camera. Very comfortable to use. If you want to shoot with the lens wide open or more open, rather...

I am glad that we could help and that your well spent time and effort paid off.

Victor Hasselblad used watch makers to design the 1000 and 1600 and learned from that. After that the Hasselblads were designed and built by camera makers. As far as being expensive, yes they were and they are getting expensive again because of supply and demand. If you had listened to me ten...

I really appreciate the ongoing comments about her photography rather than biographies put together will very little or no information and a great deal of speculation.

I have an Epson V-950, but if you have a Nikon Super Coolscan LS-8000 that works the way you want then keep it. If it is broken and totally unrepairable then sell it on eBay as a vintage rare hard to get classic example of a period scanner in museum condition for $10 Million US.

Uh, you done did open a can of worms that have been beaten to death. It is more accurate. It does not matter. Do what you want.

Kodak Xtol is my first choice and Pyrocat HD is my second choice, when I need to use it.

I agree and I use a piece of paper just to be sure.

Highly underrated especially since people by cameras via internet today, is the size of the camera. Large camera in small hands or a small camera in large hands may not fit well. A camera has to fit in your hands and please you not everyone else on a website.

Here is a summary of Kodak Developers and why I use XTOL and replenished XTOL: It has been a while since I posted it. Good to get back in the groove.

Parts and lenses are readily available for the CF lenses and later. There are some spring shortages for the C lenses. Other MF cameras may have parts or service shortages. I found that while I like the Rollei slr 6x6, there are not as many in types or numbers as the Hasselblads. The...

You need a 135mm or 150mm lens mounted in the lens board for 4"x5" negatives but either will let you use a film back. There are many available a good prices.

Here is one who clearly understands the truth.

Oh, that is not what I was talking about. We violently agree.

Where do all the free glutens go? Do they just run around anywhere? No one tells me anything!

A viewing box can give false impression if one is not looking a slide.

Interesting project. I am not sure I have the drive to do it myself. Thank you.

I am glad that you got help and guidance here.

That should please Ralph as well a some other people around here!

I can focus by eye. I did it for years. Then at Kodak I was shown a grain focuser and I have been sold ever since. I check the corners and my corners are sharp on my enlarger too.

The problem may exist, but I have never had it even in the 36"x36" prints that I have make nor on the wall when I blow up slides 6'x6'.

The test negative looks sharp on the screen. I would expect it to work well.

I have a white light for viewing when necessary and a white light table.

I have never tried a G lens. I understand that they are good.

If you want a lighter camera try the Tessina.

I have no problem using the 1/[focal length] shutter speed. I owned a Mamiya C330f with three lenses and found while it was not heavy with the old lenses it required flipping from side to side to set the shutter speed and iris. Later lens models eliminated that annoyance and are better...

But dogs know nothing about lenses. Have you tried Nikon lens and in particular Nikon AF lenses? Drive up to Westwood and you can try some of mine.

Thank you. Another afternoon project for me, but this one I can eat.
