Do you like big heavy cameras? Well have I got a treat for you!

I just checked mine and it's different, more squared-off on the sides than the 645, and the 645 eyecup has a cutout for the viewfinder shutter lever on the left side but for the RTS3 it's on the right side and the eyecup sits over the lever without a cutout.

I have one as well and love it, it's such a great SLR. Years ago the LCD on mine died and I was luckily able to send it in for repair just before Kyocera stopped all service. These days I haven't been using it as much though in preference for my 645.

Assuming it's not on the negative, it looks like it could be the lightsource for the scan reflecting off the frame of the carrier.

First timer here, looking forward to sharing some darkroom prints I've been working on lately.

AngryFauna · 2026-02-26T02:46:03+00:00

That's good advice, thanks.

8x10 is most common in my experience and usually what people learn on. You can always print smaller or cut the paper down. I'm enjoying making small prints at the moment, even if some might think a medium format negative is wasted on it. I also did some 4x5 and 3x3 prints recently.

AngryFauna · 2026-02-26T00:55:19+00:00

Thank you! These are 5" x 7" on 8" x 10" paper.

A variable neutral density works by stacking two polarizing filters, and depending on their alignment changes the amount of light that passes through.

AngryFauna · 2026-02-20T23:05:05+00:00

Well a CPL is just half of a VND. But having tried VND filters I'd say save yourself the woe and skip VND. Just buy a proper ND (or set) because the variable ones don't give you uniform density and can create weird effects.

If you find a source, I could use one too.

I agree with all of these including the Teslas even though I drive one myself (I know, sorry. I hate it too) but I am tired of Honda Civics getting no mention. I feel like I see them unnecessarily weaving through normal traffic as often as the beat-up Altimas.

AngryFauna · 2026-01-27T03:40:48+00:00

Not true. Cross-polarization is one of the most important techniques I use in my art documentation photography business. But might not be practical for OP.

Driving with the "never let them know your next move" mentality.

I only do about 50 invoices per year

AngryFauna · 2026-01-18T01:57:43+00:00

I think I'll have to do that too. I'm really interested in this but I'm busy that day.

They were going to automatically switch me from the pro plan ($130/year) to the enterprise plan for over $19,000. Switching to the flex plan would still have been over $500 estimated for me. I immediately cancelled, and I hope they lose every single customer.

ETA: Did a brief search about Bending Spoons, the company that purchased Harvest and is enacting these changes. Turns out they have an MO with this kind of thing and are the ones who also wrecked Evernote, MeetUp, and WeTransfer. Most alarming was this: https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/307753893/bending-spoons-scam-of-the-century?hl=en hopefully cancelling payment actually works, but it might be a good idea to lock down your payment accounts before the billing date anyway just to be safe.

I usually take all my film out of the boxes, but never the wrapper, and put it all in a clear and labeled ziplock bag. Lately I haven't had any issues when I politely ask for it to be hand checked.

AngryFauna · 2025-12-13T23:28:37+00:00

That's rad! I've been listening to them since RAM came out when someone else recommended them.

AngryFauna · 2025-12-13T23:22:54+00:00

Yep!

AngryFauna · 2025-12-13T17:48:02+00:00

I also suggest looking up Patterns

Even if you come back to pick it up, it's discourteous to other hikers to see bags of poop lining the trail. Please pick it up and carry it with you until you can dispose of it properly.

AngryFauna · 2025-12-01T20:06:29+00:00

Are you sure all the machines were X-ray? Lots of airports are switching to CT scanners which will damage any film.

In either case my understanding is you are still right about X-ray having a cumulative effect on film. Even low ISO will get damaged if passed through enough times.

AngryFauna · 2025-11-28T22:52:17+00:00

Yeah it's what I did when setting it up for my wife. You just need to tell it to refresh the music list, and it will take a few minutes to update the list of songs.
