<p>I've left my Canonet QL17 GIII on a drybox and now the focus ring is a little harsh to turn. I guess it needs to be lubrificated. How can I do that?</p>

<p>I'm planning to begin to process my own bw films and I read I need photo-flo to prevent marks on my negatives while they are drying. The problem is I can't find photo-flo in Brazil (where I live) so I need other options. Any laboratory formulas? What should I do?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p><br /> The "inner circle", (pointed by the red arrows in my image) seems to bee loosen. If I push it sideways with my fingertip I can feel it's a little bit loosen. Is this normal? The image quality and sharpness is 100%.</p>

<p>I'm posting and image so you can see what I mean...</p><div></div>

<p>Does the calibration improve sharpness? If you sent your 50 1.2L for calibration please share the results.</p>

<p>Here's a test I did with my 50 1.2L and my 50 1.8</p><div></div>

<p>Another test</p><div></div>

<p>I finally bought my dreams lens, but I not satisfied with its image quality... I think it's way too soft and to become worst it seems it has front focus.</p>

<p>Here are a few tests I did with the focus chart</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>It works... But soemtimes I just can see where the needle is... Outsite in brighter days for example..</p>

<p>Sometimes I just can't see in which f/stop the needle is so I can shoot with proper exposure... Is this normal? I'm thinking of buying a Sekonic L-208 for better readings...</p>

<p>Mary, here's a copy of Jameel's message:<br>

Jeff would you comment on the increasingly popularized practice of delivering<br /> digital files to clients? I recognize some view this practice as a way of<br /> discharging the responsibility for storage and maintenance of images whereas<br /> others position it as a sales tactic. Is it something that truly bears<br /> consideration or is it just another function of proper management of client<br /> expectations?<br /> I really appreciate the 'likes' list. Well said.</p>

<p>Jeff, you mentioned you don't use battery grip. Why? For better grip reasons? (like being able to handheld slower speeds) For making the camera smaller and being less intrusive?</p>

Av, right?<br>

Which metering system do you use and how realiable is it?<br>

Do you still shoot jpg only or you moved to raw?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Jeff, do you provide any proofs of the album design or just the finished album?<br /> When picking the photos for the albuns spreads how do you handle those pictures of friends, and other guests?<br /> Aren't you afraid to miss someone important in the album?<br /> Could you please explain to us more of the practical side of choosing the photos for the album instead of letting the client?</p>
