That's an article about the ethics of digital manipulation.

With Hc-110 you want to use at least 6ml of syrup per roll of film your are developing. If you use less you risk the developer becoming exhausted before the film is fully developed.

If there is only one reel in a two reel tank, it is possible on plastic tanks that the reel will move up on the center column so that after inversion the film is no longer covered in chemicals. Its fine for the film to come out of the chemicals during inversion.

You only need to have enough chemical to cover the film in the tank, but be sure that the amount of chem you are using have the capacity for the amount of film you have in the tank. This isn't usually a problem unless you are using very diluted developer. You should put an empty reel on top of the one with film if you are using a 2 reel tank with only on roll of film. This will prevent the film from moving out of the chemicals during processing.

Which is the overdeveloped roll? What developer for how long? What type of tank? What kind of agitation?

You can use GND and ND filters with B&W film. They will work the same way as they do with color.

How are you triggering the flash with the camera when you meter it?

Might try "The Print" by Ansel Adams, "Mastering Black-and-White Photography: From Camera to Darkroom" and "Creative Black and White Photography: Advanced Camera and Darkroom Techniques" by Bernhard Suess

D-76 isn't a paper developer, its made for film. If paper printing is where you are seeing a problem, you might want to try using a paper developer such as Dektol.

 

I keep D-76 is a one gallon jug and generally get about 5-6 months out of a batch assuming i don't use it all up, so you should be seeing more life out of it. How hot does it get in your storage?

"If you have filters for B&W film photography, you can stack the red green and blue filters to give you a heavy duty ND filter."

 

Once you filter light out, you can't put it back in with a filter. That would definitely not create a neutral density filter.

I use ilfolsol S, i haven't been able to find ilfolsol 3 yet. From what i read at apug, it will have the same characteristics as ilfolsol s, just a longer shelf life.

Should say the RB lenses have a leaf shutter built into them.

The rb lenses have a focal plane shutter built into them. You do not need a battery in the RZ body if you are going to use the lens's shutter. Other wise you need a battery for the focal plane shutter of the rz.

Why not post an uncropped image then?

Why carry the 18-200 when you get the 24-70? You will have 24-200 cover at f2.8, doesn't make much sense to also carry the 18-200 variable f-stop on top of that.

 

And why carry a battery charger in a day-use bag? You might want to go through all of the gear and really look at what you actually use on a given day.

Oh noes my ratings are going down! Does this really matter? At all?

You can just be sure to stop after 12th frame. You might loose some sharpness from the difference in film flatness but you can gauge that after a few rolls if you find is acceptable. You won't damage anything by trying.

Requires a different pressure plate setting in the camera in order to keep the film flat, since 220 is thinner without the paper behind the film. That is why 120, and 220 film backs use different inserts. Some tlr's have a switch that moves the pressure plate to allow the use of 220 rolls.

220 doesn't have the paper backing that 120 does. That is how they fit on the same size reel.

"If I was still working with film, I would be paying all those film environmental costs in addition to the technological costs of being on this site discussing the environmental costs of photography. In that sense, I think we may have a net gain with my switch to digital."

 

You might want to look into what goes into making modern electronics. Not at all environmentally friendly. Only change is where you deal with the impact.

It should be using less chemicals than hand inversion. What size tank are you using?

 

There are steel reels for the 1500series tanks.

Try reversing the lens board, then close it up.
