TMAX 100 is great for general 120 shooting (esp. buildings, landscapes etc.) APX 100 for portraits, esp. women. I like

shooting TRI-X (400) in 120, too, but haven't recently.

Also meaning to get out and try Delta 3200 in 120......

You're all set Nicolette.

I use Delta 3200 in my old Canon T70 (which only "goes"

to 1600 - on the ISO programming) all the time for concert

photos in clubs and get great results. As others have said

above: just set the ISO for 1600, take the reading and then

close down 1 stop or increase the shutter speed once.

(If you want to shoot the film at another rating - 1600,

1250, 1000, 6400 - that's a whole different animal!)

Hi! I am posting this for a friend who is in the market

for a digital camera, mostly for work (locations scout

photography for film/TV) but also for general friends/party/travel

pics. The 3 upcoming cameras the salespeople are pitching him

are:

Pentax Optios, Canon S400, Nikon SQ.

Sorry if these modelnames are incomplete but this is what he has

jotted down for me. Does anyone have any general thoughts on these 3

models, their predecessors, expectations, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Joseph,

B&H (bhphoto.com) has Reala available in 120 right now!

Happy shooting, Tahoe's beautiful,

W.

I haven't shot with it yet, but there is

a lab site on the web that implores people

to shoot it at 50, FWIW.

Get the Hasselblad 503CW with a meter prism. Very light

and handholdable, IMO.

PrintFile makes a very nice archival display sheet for

5X5 square "medium format" prints. They are two to a side,

back-to-back for a total of four per page. Look for them

on B&H, bhphoto.com.

I haven't yet looked into an album for these pages but I'm

sure they exist.

Good luck!

Picked up a roll last week - haven't shot it yet.

Clerk said it replaced Supra 400 but "less yellow".

I'm guessing "UC" stands for Ultra Color.

I concur with poster above...expensive!

If you haven't already, you should send an e-mail

to Scott Hulett at The Surfer's Journal. They are

really dialed in to early (1920s-1940s) historical

photographs from Hawaii and California, and may be able

to provide you with some leads/ideas/contacts.

Think their URL is www.surfersjournal.com

Best wishes!

Have you been to B.C. before? What's on your itinerary?

Feel free to e-mail me if you want some info off photo.net.

Have fun - and take LOTS of film, then double it.

I use it because my T70 was the first camera I ever

bought (back in 1984) and it's still taking GREAT

photos. I'm down to 3 lenses for it currently -

28mm, 50mm + 500mm Reflex - but it is a great alternative

to Medium Format and P&S. Every system has it's time and place.

The Canon FD system endures....

Go with the faster Olympus Stylus.

Have a great trip!

It was that simple and I just missed it.

Many thanks!

My first camera, a Canon T70 purchased in '84/'85, may be hitting

the end of the line, but I don't want to consign it to the scrap

heap just yet as I love using it. Never had a problem with it before,

although a 110-115 degree day in Pasadena's Rose Bowl in Sept. 2000

made the display numbers lose some lines and go wonky. Didn't affect

use though, as I could just count how many times I was advancing ISO

or Shutter speed up and down. Here's the new problem: when on fully

manual, I can't get the Shutter speed to change. The button just does

not move it, thus preventing me from shooting in manual mode. (Camera

still works great in Auto Exposure.) Any ideas/solutions? Is this

fixable/worth taking in to my local (S.F.) pro shop? Thanks in

advance.

I know magazines can handle 35mm, 6X4.5, 6X6 + 6X7.

Can most also accept 6X9? I appreciate the info as

it may help influence a buying decision with regards

to a Fuji Rangefinder. I want to know if it can be

used for saleable slides, or if it is only suitable

for wall prints. Thanks very much.

Sorry I don't have a lot of answers to your Qs, but as

to anecdotal experiences with Reala 120 outside, I shot

a lot of it in Paris last summer and the results were

great. I would definitely use it again.
