Thank you

There is a lever on the side of mine: White - no filters full light for focusing High - brightest for dense negatives Low for thinner negatives or if the light is too bright on High

My enlarger has two levels of illumination about 2 f/stops. Does yours?

It had nothing to do with fire. She consider negative junk.

I found that 150mm and 180mm is too close to the 80mm lens, to go to the 250mm so there is a 1:3 jump. I have two different approaches I recommend: 50mm, 80mm, 250mm 50mm, 100mm, 250mm Personally I have 30mm Fisheye, 38mm SWC, 50mm, 80mm, 100mm, 150mm, 250mm and 500mm lenses. I use the 80mm...

Ok take a close in portrait of your wife with the 100mm lens and then print an 11"x14" and show it to her. When you show it to her, please time the interval between showing her the photograph and her using her bare hands to rip out those things be your legs.

Maybe you do not need a spot meter, but there are times I need and use a spot meter to guarantee that I have enough exposure to bring out the shadow detail.

But Kodak stated from the rollout of XTOL that the only warning, is a slightly pale straw color to the stock solution. However replenished XTOL gets straw colored and becomes darker over time.

The first thing my ex-mother-in-law would do it throw away the negatives. I would explain to her why she needed to keep them and she would tell me to mind my own business. Then after her husband died she came to me crying that the old photos of her husband were creased and worn and now she...

It is also blamed for slowing the Earth's rotation rate.

I hold the camera the same way. I never had a problem driving in the UK, Ireland, or Australia, but when I got home I had to keep checking myself so I would not be on the wrong side.

I do it to get rid of the dye since I reuse the developer. Also I use it to get the film to the developer temperature.

I never had a problem with it fogging paper. I would shoot a strobe at it to make the numbers brighter for a while.

He started to develop the film and was presoaking it when he realized that he needed to dump his developer and mix a new batch. The developer is mixed with very warm water and he needs it to cool before he can develop the film. But then he stated that in post 1.

If I knew what you had, I would buy some of the items. Perhaps many.

Duh, read the MTF curves: See how the 100mm lenses curves are flatter and the distortion in #3 is less? It is not. Yes, you can search that out yourself. Just proved you are wrong.

Most of my lenses are CF. Two, the most extreme are Cs because they were offered at such a low price I could not say no.

Correct it is not me. He cranked the camera before taking the photograph. I always leave the camera and lenses cocked. He is using digital. enough said.

I did not know about those. Thank you.

I agree. The decisions are made bases on good engineering principles not on what one had for breakfast or if they had a fight with their spouse the night before.

You just passed the 20 post goal posts [pun intended].

My portfolio is strongly diversified as my savings are spread across US stocks, Hasselblad lenses, Hasselblad backs and discontinued film of all sizes.

The surplus water could be piped across the company. We do not have the steel gray skies, tornadoes, hurricanes, rust belt deserted crumbling factories with bricked in windows, deserted houses ... Why did George Eastman start Eastman Kodak in Rochester New York? Rochester is the world's...

Buy as soon as you find a good one, since the price is only going up for the foreseeable future. Heck buy two or three and then sell the lessor ones off in a few years to lower the final cost of the best one. That would keep the lenses from the hoarders.

Buy TMax 400 which is already fine grained because it tabular grain rather than traditional grain.

Except for the beginning of the year when we went to Hawaii we will not look back at 2020 with fond memories. Next year even without getting vaccinated until after the start of the year will have to be better. Even a little better will seem much better. We have been fortunate, no one we are...

While in college I worked at camera stores in the Washington DC area in the '60s. I would show and explain a camera to a customer and if the final price was $5 too high they would leave and drive across the metropolitan area to save money [ignoring the cost of driving].

I am left handed with small hands and the Hasselblad fits nicely in my hands. I found some of the MF SLRs to be bulky or heavy in my hands and my hands are the only ones that count for me, not yours.

By celebates I meant people that had never tried one. Just like the ones who say that the Leica is terrible but never touched on.

Use a leather or cloth gloves or a clean cloth.
