There are 29 issues, all in very good shape. Where might I find an interested buyer? I see one seller in Taiwan on eBay, but that's the only thing I have found on the internet about what was, at the time, a favorite magazine for me. Thanks for the help!

<p>Gee, it’s good to be back on photo.net. You guys really know your stuff.<br> A few more questions, or drill-downs, if I may:<br> 1. Are you really saying that a good inkjet print and a good wet print achieve the same quality in terms of contrast, tone, density, etc.? And that proper inkjet prints will last longer than equally good photographic prints?<br> 2. If I am shooting film—I think I prefer the way film looks, but maybe I need to look more carefully and with a more open mind—am I better off shooting B/W film. One response seemed to indicate “yes” but the others are less definitive. Maybe there is no definitive answer?<br> 3. Not a question, but a note. Never occurred to me that after scanning, a lab might discard the negatives as raw material. And that prints might not be made in the square format—both very good tips.<br> So: thanks! And if anyone has a particular opinion about (a) which color negative films might be preferable, under certain conditions, for BW image manipulation for printing, and (b) which BW films might be best in the 400 ISO speed, your comments are most welcome.</p>

<p>I am returning to a Hasselblad 501CM, but it’s been about five years and I want to make sure I am up to date. Some questions below; thanks in advance for the help.</p> <ol> <li>I assume that I am still shooting on film. And after I shoot, the film is processed in the old-fashioned way. So, now we have negatives. So far, not much has changed, right?</li> <li>Negative is then printed, and here’s where my questions begin. If the negative is scanned and then printed, I’m guessing it’s being printed as a newer digital print, not as an old-fashioned photo paper print. Is that right?</li> <li>If the negative is printed large, and I want a higher quality print, I would go to a good photo lab, but these are now hard to find. If I did that, would they, too, be printing digitally? If so, would I do the same thing on my Mac at home (assuming I bought a good printer and the right inks and papers). Or is there something more sophisticated happening at the photo lab (digital or otherwise) circa 2016?</li> </ol> <p>Basically, I am trying to navigate what has happened during the past 5-10 years while I’ve been busy doing other things.<br> ALSO:<br> Now that I’m using Lightroom to make all sorts of adjustments from the negative to the final file, is there any good reason to shoot B/W film anymore? Or does everybody just shoot color and make the BW version in Lightroom (or whatever software you’re using). Or is the texture / contrast / blacker blacks / whiter whites better if I start with BW film?<br> Sorry if the questions are not as clear as they could be. Guidance and long answers are most welcome.<br> Thanks!<br> HB</p>
