Hello, First of all, I apologize for not writing for a long time. It seems that even though I think about this list from time to time, I don't take the time...
He Speaks!!! Seriously, good to hear from you Parry! How about posting a "family shot" for a Holiday album? Stay in touch, even if you are a Dark-Sider -...
Hi Jeff, well, since it would work correctly in A setting, I would say that the problem is with the aperture ring mecanism. I am a bit surprised, since there...
Nice to hear from you Parry. A few of us are still trying to hold on to a reason to retain FD in the name of the group. Should you ever come to your senses...
I'll let other, more knowledgeable folks answer for the films, but I'll take a stab at the filters. Most B&W film is oversensitized to the blue portion of the...
Parry, Good to hear from you! Let's see some pics of your family! Is your wing 100%? Digital is enticing. I am half digital and half film. -Lance ... seems ...
I have a Canon A-1 and Canon K 2 I'll take an A-1 ANY DAY. I like the A-1 because it is a metal body. My K2 when you turn any lens, there is this minor turn of...
Mark, howdy, You'll find about filter use info in color film in web with a simple search. I'll just tell you my favorite films, those below best in resolution...
Mark, Do you still have the stash of tar and feathers we promised Parry a few years ago ? Vladimir Group Moderator ... seems ... don't ... this ... cameras ......
... film ... Hi Mark, I would recommend you to try some of the professional films made by Kodak or Fuji. I shoot mostly slides (positives) from Fuji, but...
Greetings Parry - Great to hear from you... Hoping all is well with you and yours. Your contributions and your good moderator judgement are much missed... Eric...

... well. ... I'll recommend a dark horse, Fuji's Neopan Acros (ASA 100) until I see what Kodak's new and improved TMAX is capable of. I find it to be an ...
... Well Dennis since Ben and I are the moderators of the Canon Fd forum over on Photo.net I guess I'll mention that if anyone here is looking for a moderated...
Mark - I follow and participate in the Photonet FD forum and want to compliment you and Ben for the fine job you do... useful discussions and good moderating...
Thank you Eric, It's actually a pretty easy place to moderate. Most likely because much of the OT stuff that comes up here has it's own forum to be discussed...
I like the slower efke (25, 50, 100 ISO) and Orwo B&W films, because I routinely shoot with some fairly old cameras with limited shutter speeds. I used to buy...

Suppose I should have asked about the developing as well. I liked the B&W Kodak 400ASA film (used for my sis's wedding, as the non-official photographer) sold...
Have you tried Ilford XP2 ? It's a B&W that is processed in C-41 chemistry ( same one that they use for color negative film) and it can be processed almost...
I'm a real fan of the "chromogenic" films.....these are "B&W", but are processed in standard C41 (color print) chemistry, which means that ANY photo place can...
XP2 Super (to my knowledge there is no more XP 2) is a great universal film. You can rate it at a working ISO of anywhere from 50-800 in the same roll with...
Ilford tech sent me email a few years ago & said XP2 Super negatives good for around 15 years. My local lab has new setup that prints XP2 on color paper with...
For a B&W film that can be developed anywhere, either Kodak BW400CN or Ilford XP2Super, both are C41 process ("color" process) and can be printed on color...
There is a very simple technique to stabilize chromogenic negatives for significantly longer time. In simple terms, there are 3 steps: washing, treatment in...
I currently own an AE-1P and a black AE-1. I have several FD lenses for these cameras. Recently I have been contemplating a "dark side" move to a Canon...
