JDMvW Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Always thanks. Especially for the "tele converter" story. Here's an earlier extender solution from Modern Photography, Nov. 1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thanks, Marc; I was interested to read the discussion in "Tankmanship", center loading reels v. "Rock and Reel". I currently use "Rock and Reel" tanks, but always used centre-loading stainless reels for development in deep tanks. I wonder which our members prefer...

Mike Gammill Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 A great look back as usual. The tape article was interesting. I don't remember this system. Of course the battle between 8 track cartridges and cassettes would come later. Never shot much Kodachrome-X except in 126 cartridge and maybe one roll of 110 in a Pocket Instamatic 40 (unless it was Kodachrome 64 by then. I tended to shoot Kodachrome II in my dad's Mamiya Sekor 1000 TL and sometimes high speed Ektachrome. In college after I had my own 35mm gear I used the High Speed Ektachrome, Fujichrome R100 and and few rolls of Kodachrome 64. But again, great issue and thanks for sharing.

Julio Fernandez Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thanks again Marc for sharing these! Philips would introduce the Compact Cassette just a few months later, and 3M's breakthrough would quickly fall into oblivion. I enjoyed the Polacolor articles - now I understand why the name of the "impossible project"! According to the ads, 4x5 Polaroid was also starting to be offered. HK managed to do a great piece on teleconverters, disguised as a review of the 1.85x Spiratone. But the market didn't really follow his enthusiasm for bellows. I wonder if he he really went for a field day with a 135mm and bellows. The tankmanship article brought memories - so many of those old cartridges were around my late father's darkroom; I reloaded more than a few, and used almost all of those tank systems. The article has very practical advice for those that would like to start developing their own film. In the tests, the classic 50/1.4 Nikkor was out, and the 43-86 made its debut in a Nikkorex body. I remember other HK appraisals of this zoom that did not seem so warm. Finally., I found a very uncharacteristic error in THTH. The Ansco Super Speedex did have a rangefinder! Hope that Mr. Spurlock was not confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I like the tests on color film stored cold or frozen. Also, it mentions a future test on black and white films. As one who often enough uses outdated black and white film, most often with fine results, this should be interesting. I have sitting here a roll of FX 410 (27.5 feet of 35mm film, for five 36 exposure rolls) develop before Dec 1961. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
