I want to improve my portrait technique. It's too hit & miss. I especially
need to brush up on lighting. Can someone recommend good portrait classes in
NYC? Thanks.

Hi!!!!
I write from Spain (my english isn't perfect.....)
Well, I have a Hasselblad medium format replica (works  fine) and I
need a Digital back. Hassel and other commercial backs are too

Oh, I'm in a half-way decent job with a little discretionary income for
the first time in my lifeand find myself buying stuff off ebay (Help me
Dr. Phil...) I have a luna star F and can get the pdf file of the F2
instructions off the gossen site, or buy a luna star f instruction ...

I have a Gossen Pilot 2 light meter that I like to use with my
Russian folding cameras. The problem with it is that it has become
intermittant. When it works, it works and gives accurate readings.
However other times when I pick it up it doesn't give any reading

You never realize how important customer service is until you need it.
I ordered a RB67 from Adorama and I have to admit it was my mistake to
use them.
    Take a look at their web site and you will notice how early their

Being new too medium format I am looking for a light meeter and its
been tuff.  Locally the few camera shops have no used ones and the new
ones are very very high..
Looking at ebay I see the Sekonic L-208 listed for much more than it

I am very new to medium format I just got my camera and now I really
need too know if i need a light metter too help me set exposers.
I took the camera out last weekend and used Fuji 400 too shoot pictures
by the ocean and landscapes and things like that with and without a

I am new to the world of photography.  So, I've just finished my first
roll in my Holga.  Where can I get this 120 film processed in
Sacramento?  I do hope someone who reads these threads will be from
Sac...

I was wondering where most of you buy your 120 film and have it
processed.  Locally we have a camera shop that processes and sells 120
at a very good price they charge 1.00 more than 35mm..    I noticed
most people either go to Sams Club or Walgreen's or have their 35mm

Just processed a roll of film that included a shot of a spectacular stained
glass window in Notre-Dame Catherdral.  Detail in the window and the rather
dark interior, much better than I had hoped, I was very surprised as it was
also hand held.  Pity I had b&w film in the camera at ...

Now that I switch too medium format photography I really undrstand the
term suppply and demand.  As i look at prices for 220 film locally i
realizy why nost people order it from B&H or Adorama.  One local place
charges 43.00 for a pro pack of 400 fuji

Anyone have a good repair/parts person for Hasselblad? I use Brad Sherman of
Precision Camera, but I need an ocular for an HC-1 90 degree finder and he
doesn't have one and they are no longer available.
So, I need help.

I have a chance to buy a Mamiya 6, which I've lusted after for a long
time.  This particular one is in decent shape, with a few minor
cosmetic flaws.
Question:  this is the older version with the square and circle icons

This may have made it to the English press somewhere, but I haven't seen it
yet, so FWIW, it seems Fuji is releasing a new Provia: Provia 400X. Reviews
in the Japanese rags have it that it's very close to Provia 100F in both
color and grain. It should be out in 35mm in the late ...
