<p>Mark,<br> Thank you very much for your critique and advice. I have made some changes. The landscape work is definitely a mess and I hadn't noticed, because I haven't focused on landscape in so long. Thank you for that, I definitely needed to clear it out. </p>

<p>Hello All,<br> I recently moved to Paris for school and I have been shooting a lot with my beloved Mamiya c33. My new fashion work includes the super model Lindsey Wixson, who was just a pleasure to work with. <br> Have any ideas or comments? Feel free to respond here or contact me on the site. </p> <p><a href="http://www.jordanphstein.com">www.jordanphstein.com</a></p>

<p>I recently purchased an Epson V600 to scan my black and white negatives. 120mm 6 x 6 cm to be exact. I have scanned with drum scanners, such as the flex tights, but I am curious about dpi. <br> When scanning 6 x 6 negatives, what is the max dpi I should be scanning? At what point does it become pointless? I do not care about storage space, but I would like to capture as much detail as possible. </p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Jordan</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Thank you very much guys. I have only about 20 minutes until I am leaving for the shoot, but what happens to film around 3 stops push? It ends up getting murky? Grey? Not enough contrast? <br> Thank you all for your help. Also, 1/30 hand held with a tlr should be okay? </p>

<p>Hi,</p> <blockquote> <p>Tomorrow I am going to be shooting a gig backstage at a fashion show. I image the lighting is going to be pretty dark and here are my concerns.<br> For your info, I am using a TLR camera with Ilford HP5, which is 400 ISO.<br> Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can shoot this? I will open up as wide as my lens can go, which is 3.5 and as slow as i can go handheld which of course is 1/60. I have no idea yet how many stops I may be under, but lets assume 2 or 3? If this is the case, can I just push the film 2 or 3 stops? <br> Thank you so much</p> </blockquote>

<p>Thank you very much for your detailed response. <br> I took the camera to a neighborhood camera store and the owner seems to think the mechanism may be broken. <br> The lens is perfectly fine, the problem is solely with advancing the film. Whether or not film is in the camera. I currently have an empty spool in the take up spot.<br> Let me start over with a detailed list of steps. <br> 1. Open back to reset counter.<br> 2. Turn knob to "Lock" to allow light to hit the film.<br> 3. Begin advancing film. Move clockwise one revolution, then move counter-clockwise partially until the lever aligns. <br> 4. The camera now seems operational until the counter hits 6 or 9. Sometimes other numbers. It how locks up and the lever will not rotate and since the shutter has not been cocked, the shutter release will not budge. <br> 5. The only way that the camera will advance to 12 and then continue forward is by 'gently' pushing on the shutter release and then moving the lever at the same time. <br> What do you think? I wish I didn't have to send it in, because the camera is in such wonderful condition, just the gears much have some trouble.<br> Thank you!</p>

<p>I just received a Mamiya C33 from a mentor of mine and it appears to be in perfect condition. It currently has a 105 lens on it and it works fine. </p> <p>However, my problem appears to be with the winding lever. I have read the manual and I am unsure if there is something I am doing incorrectly. When I load film and wind the lever, all works fine. The problem arrises when I get to either 6 on the counter or 9. When it hits those numbers (Rare that 6 happens), it stops allowing me to advance and I cannot press the shutter release button on the camera. Something seems to jam up, but only at 6 or 9 on the counter. <br> Any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
