Hello everyone, my name is totsuan.

I studied photography in Japan and mainly work with Kodak medium format film for my projects. (I’m sad that Fujifilm has stopped producing medium format film.)

I joined this community to gather and share information primarily related to photographic film.

Currently, I work in the maintenance of photography equipment at an educational institution, and I’m repairing a Fujimoto CP-51 and its WD module. (I found that the CP-51 is not supplying the necessary voltage to the WD module, but without a service manual the repair has been very challenging and is not yet complete.)

I’d be very happy if you could welcome me here.

Welcome! I also ran/maintained the photo darkrooms and studio facilities for a university here in California. Students keeps one on one's toes! I retired about ten years ago.

My son lives and works in Tokyo. My other son (working in Australia) and I will be visiting him for the month of December. I am still deciding on which format camera to bring (Rollicord, 4x5, or 5x7).

My wife's home town is Kurume, in Fukuoka ken. I was just there for two months.

Fuji produced my favorite films. I helped expand the English language Wikipedia article on Fuji Neopan based on information I found from a Japanese source. Glad that you're joining us.

Welcome tetsuan!

I lived in Dazaifu, Fukuoka ken 20+ years ago. I went to Kurume often. I miss those days.

Wow! We probably crossed paths then! I lived in Kurume from 1990-2002. Went to Dazaifu often.
