I'm commenting on a thread from 18 years ago! Yikes!! I put a dark red filter on my Minolta SRT-101. I understood that I had to adjust exposure by 3 stops. I ran a roll of Ilford PF4 (125), so I set my ASA to 15 (3 stops to compensate for the dark filter. Then I metered normally with the Minolta's internal TTL meter. By the way, the meter is accurate and the battery fresh. Anyway, the results were severely over-exposed images. So, considering that I was using TTL metering, should I have just left the ASA at the box rating of 125?

I know that this is an old thread, so it's a shot in the dark, but does anyone have the Hasselblad instructions booklet for the format masks 41151? I purchased a set but not sure how to use the masks. Thanks Steve

B&H Photo and Adorama are both out of stock on Kodak T-Max film. What's going on?

<p>Thanks for your responses. While loading the film upside down would cause no exposures I can say that this could not have happened. If the film would have gone into the magazine upside down, I would not have seen the guide indicators on the paper - and I did. My next step is to take controlled photos of a white board with writing on it indicating which body and which lens the frame was shot with. Then I will develop again and see what I get. Thanks again.

<p>I have a 501cm and 503cw with 80mm CFi, 50mm CFi and 150mm CFi with an assortment of magazines.<br> Recently I shot 3 rolls of 120 B&W. I developed the film at home (as usual) and was horrified to see zero images! Frightened that I had a bad batch of chemicals, I sent the 3rd roll to a lab. Again no images. I removed the magazines, pointed the cameras towards light and fired off many shots at various shutter speeds and apertures. I could easily see the circle of light from the back of the cameras. I repeated this with both cameras and all 3 lenses. Everything seems to look o.k.<br> On Hasselblads, it is not possible to trip the shutter with the dark slide in place (I tried it). and unlike a twin lens or rangefinder, it is not possible to compose a shot with the lens cap on.<br> Please, does anyone have any idea what might have happened? Why there were no images?<br> Would love to hear some meaningful comments.<br> Thanks<br> Steve</p>

Thank you Paul and Michael for your responses. The amount of black paint chipped off is minute, however I can notice it. My sense is that the thicker enamel paint might work better in filling in the tiny space left when the chip happened. I'm going to have to be super careful in using the finest brush to apply just a small dot of paint. I think I can do it. Thanks again.

<p>Hello, I have a beautiful Mamiya C330S that has just a tiny bit of black pain nicked off one of the edges. Does anyone know if this black paint is Enamel, Lacquer, Acrylic or other? Thanks, Steve</p>
