    What would happen if I used this flashbulb?

    I have a Hasselblad 503 CX and 903 SWC as well as many Hasselblad lenses. So I do not need a Hasselblad 500C body. I will keep the flash bulbs for my Speed Graphs and will keep the bulbs from the hoarders.

    Pre-Wash

    PE discussed this many times. He recommended prewash for most films with a few cases that he pointed out not to Feel free to look through his posts. Prewash is used to bring the film to temperature and provide even absorption of chemicals. He specifically stated not to use surfactants for...

    Best B&W films with no filter?

    Well your evaluation means that there is no film now, in the past, or in the future will ever have the prefect response to light and therefore we should smash all camera equipment, burn all the film, dump all photochemicals, burn all photographic paper and shut down this website. Thank you for...

    Best B&W films with no filter?

    Basically I choose black & white films by speed and traditional grain. Mostly I use Tri-X 400, HP5+ for 4"x5", Plus-X which I still have, FP4, and I am playing with Delta 3200 and P3200 for long lenses.

    Color issues with C41 development. Inconsistent results

    It seems that many film development problems are really scanner problems.

    Pre-Wash

    I was into taking slides when I read Adam’s The Negative the first time so it went over my head or under my attention. So basically I learned about it on APUG. Right out of graduate school, I could finally afford to buy additional lenses and I was using slide film. The guys at work...

    Why did Nikon F2 have horizontal shutter?

    I never said that. I just did not think it was worth replying to.

    The Nikonos II requires two O rings, one for the body and one for the lens.

    What did you fix today? (part 2)

    My credit card. The last few days I have been exercising it at KEH, B&H, Adorama and the other usual suspects. Damn it someone has to stimulate the economy so it might as well be me.

    Orange vs yellow/green filters

    Same thing for me. He wants you to email him your requests. I said screw it and ordered six filters and two lens caps from KEH instead. It used to be a good website.

    Best B&W films with no filter?

    For black & white my camera usually wears an Orange filter, rarely a Yellow filter. I use Red 23, Red 25 and Red 29 for darkening skies. I use Red 23, Red 25. Red 29 and 720 for infrared. I also use a Polarizer. I have a Yellow-Green filter arriving next week to darken both skies and red rock.

    Underwater camera recommendation, Nikonos, others?

    For about $35 I bought two bags of fifty O rings of both sizes and the silicon grease for the Nikonos II. I just received the package today, removed the old rings, cleaned the camera and the ring grooves, and installed the O rings. Next I am looking for a replacement strap lug and strap. Now...

    If you do not want to buy filters don't, no one is twisting your arm. You are perfectly free to not take advantage of the things that filters can do to enhance a photograph. For decades I did not use filters for black & white film, now I do. So there is still hope for you.

    Comment about XTOL in Adox / Lina Bessonova video

    Ilford did not invent the digital camera; Kodak did, but did not capitalize on it. Kodak still makes color slide and negative film; Ilford no longer does. How about you eating your anti-Kodak hat for a change?
