Presoak for five minutes only. I change the water in the Jobo twice a minute for five minute, however changing the water once a minute will do the job. The water should be the same temperature as the developer so that the film does not have thermal shock which in the extreme causes...

At this point I might wait a week and buy one in 2021 and thus avoid this tarbaby of a tread!

Yes and the ones that claim that sex is overrated were celebates. Feel free to expand the logic to Hasselblads.

Of course civilization builds by standing on the shoulders of others. He knew that the Leica cloth shutters could get burnt by the sun so he wanted metal shutters. His big mistake was having the works designed by watch makers instead of camera designers, thus his focal plane shutters were not...

Kino is correct in every thing he said. Let the bulb cool with the fan blowing until it is room temperature. Do not leave any hand or finger oils on the bulbs since they cause hot spot and then the bulb blows out.

A German reconnaissance aircraft crashed in Sweden in World War II. The Swedish military ask Victor Hasselblad to build one like it for their aircraft. Victor said that he could build a better camera and came up with the Ross camera. After World War II Victor Hasselblad brought out a civilian...

No, the bottles much be thoroughly cleaned. I rinse out each bottles several times.

No, not at all. It was based on a camera from a crashed German aircraft. www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/Index/HSIndex.aspx

Yes, but then one can never have a camera that is too big.

Yes, you are correct. I knew that, but I was thinking medium format. OTOH Hasselblad was in business much longer than Exakta.

Duh! This is not rocket science. Most people have no problem figuring this out. Find another pseudo-crisis.

That is Voyager I and II. I designed many of the scientific instruments for the Jupiter fly-by. Both Jupiter approach movies and both the Red Spot movies were designed by me.

I used a 6x6 folder that I bought after I started using the Hasselblad. I always estimated the focus and I never had a focus problem with it. It has a wonderful Zeiss lens. I enjoyed using it.

Post the negatives, please.

Hasselblad was the first camera system. One which until the end of production was fully upward and downward compatible. Bronica was quick to follow, then later Nikon started its system with the Nikon F.

Doctors I would find more believable. As noted above dentists liked Nikons for close up teeth photographs.

Even though my Jobo arrived with a broken lift arm, the lift is a must. It makes the whole process work very smoothly, especially the filling and the emptying.

What is wrong with me? I think it is great; even better seeing the print in front of me. I would buy two.

Canon is a large company with many resources and lots of revenue; Nikon is a small family owned company.

Why always dentists? What is the deep seeded hate of dentist on this website? I never knew a dentist that was also a photographer, let alone one that owned a Hasselblad. All the camera went to KEH which gave me lots of choices.

When I lived and worked in Rochester New York, I would not put up with people who complained about snow. I would tell them that the snow added to the water table and gave them the fantastic springs with the flowers the practically exploded on the bushes. Besides they choose to live there and...

... or continue to use as a use camera of known certainty. A known working camera is worth much more than an unknown.

This is one of many reasons that I use replenished developers.

Each Jobo tank and drum states the minimum required chemicals.

:cry: They took the best of Bel Air Cameras employees [the two families are closely related] and placed them in Culver City. Then in a short time moved them to Fairfax.

I have used stainless steel and plastic tanks for many decades. When I went back to 4"x5" I tried trays and was not happy with that. I worked my way up from Yankee tanks to finally the Jobo 3010 Expert Drum, thanks to FreeStyles' patience and exchange policy. Once it started using the Jobo...

Actually Samy's on Fairfax has most of the used and unusual equipment, but also check out Samys Pasadena and Samys eBay.

Very well done. You has captured things that I have seen and yet not taken the time to photograph.

Welcome to APUG Photrio!!!

I have found that when I go to a small town or a rarely visited area, I as the locals where the special places are that they recommend. I tell them I am not interested on the ones the people on freeways can see. The places that they pointed me to or even told me exactly where to stand have...
