Don ,

A useable answer�buy or make a color test chart (Jobo makes a nice one Cat.#6817. I got one on ebay for $8). Scan it AND included it in your pictures. Use the color chart images to control the color on your screen and printer. Your post indicates you are interested in comparative NOT absolute results; this will give you intuitive printer control. The eye is VERY good at comparative tasks.

Walt,

New bat. both recharge and non tried, bc=100%, no dif.

All modes: single, slow and fast advance nor spot or average meter make a dif.

Both A and f stop lock below 1/60.

Turn on camera, fire shutter below 1/60, it will EEE 100%. If camera is turned on and fired at 1/500=+, it will EEE 50% of the time if shutter goes below 1/60. But will work fine if shutter stays above 1/500.

Camera sat for 6 mo. unused.

Thanks.

Peter.

My T90 works well above 1/500, 1/500 to 1/60 so -so,below 1/60 = EEE.

To repair camera ,point camera at light (above 1/500)reset battery,

fire shutter...fixed! Any ideas?

Thanks

Peter

Thanks to all!

My bro. was a Master Mech. at Snap-On till he retired with all his tools, said when I discribed the spring , find a used set, build a plant or toss it away.

He won't try making them and he likes me. Soooo, anybody have a used set and $?

Again thanks.

Peter

I need a set of film back springs for 4x5 Graphic View. Tried Ebay no

luck. Help?

Thanks.

Peter.

Just got my first Polaroid 545 holder. Inserted type 55 film with

holder out of camera (want SEE it go in). I can see and hear the film

go to the end and lock in, 545 set to L. Instructions now say withdraw

envelope check for pod. Pod is with envelope! Reinsert to click and

pull again and again? 5 times, envelope will not separate from film.

Take the 55 film out of 545, straighten little metal strip at the end

of film, try again with 545 out of camera (yes I know the film will be

exposed) no luck. Try with 3 more sheets of 55 film no luck. What

going wrong?

Thanks.

Peter.

I have been offered a Nikkor 240mm Enlaging Lens (For a 5X7?). I was

thinking of using it on my 4X5 camera. Has anyone tried enlarging lens

on a camera? Comments?

Thanks.

Peter

I didn't think I could get my E2 to do a double exp. A new way to screwup! It will cock with a 1/2 turn...thanks I think! Peter

MF for street...Think old, think light. I love my Bessa I. Zone focus, TriX, f11, 1/250 will give tack sharp 6x9s. About $150 for a good user (Ebay) and NO 35mm can come close!

Peter

Just checked my 45mm, 80mm and 150mm...the detents are at full stops, but I could "hold" between. Speeds are also full stops only. The AE prism set at auto my give fraction stops but I don't have one so...

Hope this helps.

Peter

I've started proofing my 645 Tri-x negs with my R200. As a proofer its

a great printer. But burns ink fast...any sugestions on non epson

black inks?

Thanks.

Peter.

I have some Ilford Delta Pro 100 8x10 to process. My ONLY equipment is

a CPE+ w/ lift and its drums. I think my best shot is with the 2830,

doing 2 at a time. D76 times and temps is my best first guess. Has

anyone tried film in a paper drum? Advise?

Thanks

Peter

Sigma US is out of chips (called 4-05). But they said try Sigma UK or other locations.

I sold my lens on ebay, you may want to try the other Sigma locations.

Peter

Problem with some ebay film, USPS is now xraying most packages per my local po (as of 4-05) Age + xray = FOG!

Adorama will ship the c41 1 gal. and the next size up of EK dev. and all sizes of EK bleach (ground only). They're good poeple...had a dev. leak in shipment, replaced NQA. They also support this site!

Peter

I have an old Mamiyaflex . Will all of the lens 55mm to 250mm fit it?

Are there any lens compatibility issues with the newer lenes?

Thanks

Peter

In Jan 05 I wanted to have an old Sigma rechipped for my 300d. Sigma US said they were out of chips. Sigma recommended a new lens or to try Sigma UK.

Does Sigma have chips as of 4-05?

Thanks

"Why do you recommend films that you don't use yourself?"

Why I do it.

As a consultant/teacher I use the information learned from others as an aid to answer questions w/ proper credit of course.

Hope this helps.

Peter

Using a Jobo CPE2+ W/1500 tanks and 600ml batches how many roles of

120 can the bleach and fix do per 600ml? Can they be replenished and

how. All Kodak chem. are used.

I've gone back and read the old info (including Ron's patents) and

can't find a useful answer.

Help and Thanks.

Peter

As a user of the Sigma 28mm f1.8 on a 300d (my "normal") I'm not sure of the need for 2mm & 1/2 a stop. The 28 is large and heavy but I like the speed, images and cost USD240 or so. 2mm?

Heard from Adorama...they will replace 1 gal pack.

Thank you Adorama!

Peter

Xray is not only a problem with airports, the usps now xrays almost all packages. There goal is all packages.

Just ordered some film...told to use UPS as USPS now xrays all packages. Called USPS, they're only xraying packages going through "large cities" but as equipment comes on line all packages will be xrayed. Local lab?

FYI
