No, I have never experienced that nor have I heard of it. I would talk the the store owner before going further.

Successful enough that the system was widely used by photographers for over fifty years and it basic design did not need to change. If you find a need to put the camera on a tripod for all your photographs, maybe the camera is not the one at fault.

One of many reasons I chose SLRs over rangefinders and TLRs back in the 1960's and never looked back. If one is still using those and has problems with not seeing what they will get, they only have themselves to blame.

That happens when a country starts a war. When they lose, the lose on many levels. History provides many examples.

I have not bought fixed grade paper in many decades. I may have been given some fixed grade papers, but I would never bother to seek it out.

I always move the enlarger up and down multiple times as I focus to make sure that the focus is in the middle of the range of positions. Since few have the magic hands to hit the focus exactly the first time every time, I would think most people do that.

Mixing partial bags of dry chemicals can lead to problems because the powders are not uniformly distributed. I follow the instructions and put each liter in a bladder container that lets me squeeze the air completely out. I have stored XTOL for over a year without a problem.

I have sold a lot of cameras. I have talked to a number of camera owners including Leicas and I have never run into anyone with an attitude like that from any of them. When most people see someone with a camera that they do not own, they do not make condescending comments. I do not know where...

Post Your Interior Architectural Photographs here. Natural light, artificial light, auxiliary light including flash or strobes.

Siriusly? :laugh:

The OP should call the Darkroom Doctor https://darkroomdoctor.com/ or email him and set up an appointment to drop by his place.

The only problem I have with printing the rebate is when I see a rebate for Kodak Tri-X on a color print or Kodak Portra 400 on a black & white print, but our on site slave trader would probably have no problem with that.

We could start another debate on which glue does not increase the height too much.

I have never gone wrong using the manufacturer's published filter factors. I have trouble with filters that are not labelled with the filter factor and I cannot find any publications. I just compare it with know filters.

I have multiple types of photographic paper available next to the enlarger. When I change paper, I change the paper for under the grain focuser.

I have used polarizers with color negative film to bring out the clouds on occasion, but unlike one of my friends never for every or even most photographs.

That too because they would be the same model.

I prefer small smooth grain, but as noted above courser grain is better for some photographs.

No the Peak Grain Focusers are too expensive by multiple copies.

I reduced John's argument with reductio ad absurdum* and now he has had to go to outright lying to hide his embarrassment. Now we are finally at the point we should be with ethics and standards of journalism, professional and amateur photographers. *Reductio ad absurdum In logic, reductio ad...

No where have I ever posted about touch ups. You are just distorting and outright lying about what I posted because you have been standing in quicksand with your hollow arguments.

I use Sunny 16 if I do not have a meter with me and sometimes as a sanity check on the lighting conditions.

I am pointing out how hollow John's arguments are an I had to stoup to his level to get the point across to him. If one is going to defend a point, use something more compelling than "well others threw bricks though your window, and that justifies me throwing more bricks now."

But sometimes I use RC paper and other times I use double weight FB paper.

Of course as are some statements of others.

It may not make a difference but I will still do it.

Doing something wrong in the past does not justify continuing to do, no matter how many times you point out that it was done in the past. Using your logic it is still justifiable to enslave people.

So you are saying that I should not take off the lens cap before taking the photograph should not be done because it does not change the focus?

I close my eyes when I am loading film on a reel if I am having problems, it cuts distractions.

Nor can I see if a beaker in the lab is clean before I use it, but I check it anyway. Your comment implies that my checking or taking extra care makes me a bad person.
