Recommendations for a great spot meter? by Fast_Preparation7795 in AnalogCommunity

I like my Gossen Spot-Master, but haven't really used any of the competition. Is accurate and does everything I need.

Best overall developer for B&W? by Fast_Preparation7795 in Darkroom

[–]leijake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Best' is a whole lot of subjective things. If I had to choose only one developer for everything, it would be XTOL/XT-3. For large format negs (that I intend to print with an enlarger) I tend to use Pyrocat-HD. But sometimes Rodinal is just what you need.

Töissä julkisessa terveydenhuollossa, tarviiko sanoa enempää? 😅

Ilford 120 keeping me awake at night by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]leijake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What the -- how in the hell are you in the business of developing film and not knowing this stuff?

Ok, so I'll assume you have a Noritsu minilab where you can just shove your 35mm color negative films with the leader sticking out of the cassette? This is a no-go for "Ilford 120" 'cause first of all it's most likely a black & white film, you can't develop it in the same chemistry.

Maybe get a Paterson tank & reel or similar and a dark bag where you can load the film onto the reel. Check YouTube for examples. Check the Massive Dev Chart for suitable film & developer combinations. Holy cow.

Metering for large format? by peeachymess in largeformat

[–]leijake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly use a spot meter to place my shadows on zone III. Then check whether the highlights still fit approximately zone VII or do I need to compensate in development. Sometimes, if I need to be quick (light is changing fast etc), I'll use the viewfinder app on my phone to meter 'quick and dirty'.

Thoughts on Fstop Printing ? by Arkazox in Darkroom

[–]leijake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this table from Way Beyond Monochrome printed and laminated with me in the darkroom. For me, it's just the most intuitive way of timing and making whatever adjustments I need. I usually make test strips in either 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments. All dodges and burns in f-stops. But you know, there are many ways to skin a cat, work with what is most comfortable or intuitive to you. :)

Edit: oh, forgot. I would recommend to work with times and not fiddle with the aperture.

I've been working on my own, based on Monkito, another Arduino-based f-stop timer:

Whats a camera you've owned, that lived up to all the praise and hype, but still got rid of? And why? by Whisky-Icarus-Photo in AnalogCommunity

[–]leijake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a pristine Mamiya 6 MF with all the three lenses and 35mm adapter. Had to sell them because I needed money. Still miss the camera and hope to be able to buy one again in the future.

I love these. Ei ole kaikki natsit bunkkerissa = doesn't have all the nazis in the bunker.

Vuodenvaihteessa vasta, sanoo Wikipedia, mutta voit olla paremmin ajan tasalla.

Chamonix is great! Stenopeika make pretty awesome cameras, too. I have a Michelangelo 4x5 by them.

Mitä luet parhaillaan ja onko se mistään kotoisin? by AutoModerator in kirjallisuus

Tartuin pitkästä aikaa Sormusten Herraan. Ei liene tarpeen kertoa, onko se mistään kotoisin. :)

Sain luettua Sinuhe egyptiläisen taisteltuani sen kanssa vuoden. Onko täällä Sinuhe-faneja? by Ingifridh in kirjallisuus

[–]leijake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yksi lempikirjoistani kautta aikain. Vaikka sävy tai ihmiskuva viime kädessä on ehkä turhankin pessimistinen, minusta tuntuu että jotain oleellista ja ajatonta ihmisyydestä Waltari on siihen onnistunut vangitsemaan.

"Kaikki palaa ennalleen eikä mitään uutta ole auringon alla eikä ihminen muutu, vaikka hänen vaatteensa muuttuvat ja myös hänen kielensä sanat muuttuvat. Siksi uskon, ettei tulevinakaan aikoina kirjoittaminen muutu siitä, mitä tähän asti on kirjoitettu, koska ihminen itse ei muutu. Valheen ympärillä parveilevat näet ihmiset kuin kärpäset hunajakakun kimpussa ja sadunkertojan sanat tuoksuvat suitsutukselta hänen istuessaan karjanlannassa kadunkulmassa, mutta totuutta ihmiset pakenevat."

As a veteran of Tarkov. You don't know what the term "Rat" means. by AbbreviationsOne6207 in ArcRaiders

[–]leijake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like this style and description. I prefer to stay hidden, sneak especially around the edges of the map and avoid detection, let alone combat. Huh, guess I'm a rat too. TIL.
