<p>Harry, I've found that using an ExpoDisc pointed at the light source gives very accurate results.</p>

<p>Louis, my Dad had one of those Minolta talkers brought back by his brother's wife Michieko from Tokyo. He didn't know what to think the first time it said to him "too dark use frash".</p>

<p>I agree, some HDR is way over the top but a small percentage of what we see is actually well done. Think back and maybe remember the days when your favorite B&W movies were "Ted Turner colorized", somewhat of a rampant disorder of the 1980's I'd guess. Glad that period is over...</p>

<p>The KEH website has somewhat better photos to help you identify.</p>

<p>Maybe the other markings are Waterhouse stop and T-stop equivalents?</p>

<p>An associate of mine long ago said that he used just skin oil from around his nose, and he had some early Leicas and Rolleiflexes treated that way...gave it a nice patina.</p>

<p>I stopped posting photos after an incident of "theft by right click".</p>

<p>Have a look at photosig.com, set up a free account then you can browse by lens.</p>

<p>Interstate 70 through Colorado and Utah is beautiful, then US 50 across Nevada toward SF, or south on I-15 towards Las Vegas and then to San Diego. You can pick up bits and pieces of the old Route 66 but a lot of it has fallen into disuse in favor if the interstate highway system.</p>

<p>Post a clear photo of it and we'll try.</p>

<p>I just call Kaiser and order refills by phone for whatever Rx I need. Most mega-pharmacies operate this way in the USA, having put a lot of the mom and pop pharmacies out of business.</p>

<p>I've had it happen on 220 film but not 120.</p>

<p>Jeff, to reinforce my statement, my collaborator on the rush TGN project was my younger sister, who hold a drawerful of degrees from Marietta, Georgetown University and George Washington University in otlaryngeal disorders such as TGN and others; she's also a board-certified SLP (speech language pathologist) in Sarasota, FL.</p>

<p>I rest my case.</p>

<p>Jeff-</p>

<p>Yes. While trying to help my father's doctors in 1993 (who were spooked by the evil internet) isolate and diagnose his suspect case of TGN (Trigeminal Neuralgia, a very random and painful disorder), the most recent professional white paper to be found was from Tufts University, published 1986 with references back to 1982. Tough disorder to combat, only Neurontin supplies temporary relief at the expense of rotting your teeth).</p>

<p>Are Tufts, Rutgers and other University level research programs up to your #$%#$ rigid standards? Jeeesh. You need to watch a person go through an episode of TGN to humble your ass.</p>

<p>Some professionals (or past professionals in my case) spend years making 70 top-notch images. My keeper rate sometimes is 1 or 2 per roll if using film, hard to say with digital.</p>

<p>That said, I'd say the TA is out of line. What are his/her accomplishments and/or credentials?</p>

<p>You also should remember that academia is about 15-20 years behind the current world. I would question the TA.</p>

<p>Alexander, you may have a mis-matched back for that camera. The type of construction of a Rolleiflex means that the back can only be hinged like it is on all Rolleiflex models. If there was an original back that was bent (by direct tripod mounting rather than a Rolleifix) that may be part of the problem. Perhaps someone replaced a bent back with another bent back. But the light/dark thing just doesn't make sense.</p>

<p>Pentax 67II.</p>

<p>Check Canon's page for the 5DIII and download the manual. Accessories will be listed in the manual under "system map".</p>

<p>The round thing must be the DVD writer, ya think?</p>

<p>From what I remember from some years ago, the remote thyristor cable was SC-3 and the AC adapter for the flash was SB-4.</p>

<p>Yes, changing the screen is about a 20 second job.</p>

<p>I had the same problem on my 5DII before I added the grid screen. I found that rotating Canyonlands, Monument Valley and Hoover Dam, to name just a few by .1 degree was a Herculean task.</p>

<p>That looks like a sweet 3.5F. When I got mine, the strap had to go, but I keep it put away where it can't cause problems by rotting. The Optech Pro loop strap works well, but just requires a little work to get the end loop part through the strap mounting. For a case, the LowePro Nova Mini all-weather bag holds a 3.5F and some accessories like it was made for it.</p>

<p>Get the camera serviced by a competent person and enjoy using it. Harry Fleenor is great...my 3.5F will be going to him for a total CLA when someone pries it from my cold dead hands. Compared to the Yashica, it's like a 1970s Pinto vs a Mercedes...a total 'brass and glass' experience, and you've got the Planar model. I might be able to date it for you by serial number and lens serial number; email me offline.</p>

<p>I've never had a Rollei-made accessory stick due to the ball bearings, but I suppose it's possible. Don't force anything, especially with the focusing stage extended, then you may need a CLA and realignment. Maybe Harry has a quick tip via phone? He's been around long enough to have probably seen anything that can go wrong with a 'flex or a 'cord.</p>
