It's also supposed to have some insanely small grain, but I've never had the opportunity to scan it at high enough resolutions to figure out if its true. Here's a thing with a 5DII up against 35mm Ektar and also some Vision3 500T http://www.twinlenslife.com/2011/01/digital-vs-film-canon-5d-mark-ii-vs.html

It's also supposed to have some insanely small grain, but I've never had the opportunity to scan it at high enough resolutions to figure out if its true. I have scanned medium format Ektar at roughly 4800 DPI and it's gorgeous. But as others have said the light needs to be right, and even then colour shifts can happen. The highlight range is quite good, though. It's the shadows that are lacking (and purple). Still, even so - it's not the most resolving film. In my experience that honour belongs to Fuji's Acros 100 (in Fuji's Microfine), Provia 100F and 64T (Type I and II, the newest III has lower RMS but terrible colour and lower resolution.) which out-resolve my scanner.

Anyone ever had an issue with their Pentax 6x7 where the exposure dial is loose and just spins all the way around without stopping on any individual setting? I'm in Iceland right now and having this issue and need to know if I'm able to fix this myself with commonly available tools ASAP. :/ I have my Mark III with me but it's not the same

Sounds like they might be loose, can you pull the dial up and down?

However Professional Photographic Repair in San Diego quoted me $350 to service the shutter.

If anyone is interested, there's a really nice looking 690II at only $202 USD right now with less than 12 hours left. Considering $300 is a good deal, you might be able to snag this for even less: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390990773767?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Tragic twist in my saga of Yond Cassius' Astia project. My Kiev 60 jammed on frame 5. The film advance lever goes no further than about 1/4 of the distance it's supposed to go, the shutter cannot be cocked, and the film cannot be moved on the rolls - normally the uptake roll can be ratcheted forward but this action is also jammed. If I can't figure this out, I'll move the film to my ancient 6x9 folder, so it's not (yet) a total loss. Has anyone had a similar problem in either a Kiev 60 or the Pentacon Six it's based on?

On the Pentacon Six there is a little tiny lever under the film advance that will unjam it. I don't see it in pictures of the Kiev, though, so that may be one of the mechanisms that got simplified away. This is, however, my nigh-universal unjamming technique: 1 - Take note of which exposure you're on. 2 - Put the camera in a dark bag, or get yourself (with the camera) into a darkroom. Safelights off, of course. 3 - Open the back of the camera just enough to let it reset the film counter, de-tension everything, and think it's back at the beginning of the roll. 4 - Close camera back up and try winding again. 5 - Shoot the rest of the roll, counting in your head (or on a stickynote on the camera). You will lose the little bit of film you advanced on this frame, but there's enough extra length in 120 to make up for that and still give you 12 exposures.

 Sleepy Catte by Christian Obermanns, on FlickrLearning the ways of my new Pentax 67. Does anyone have a good light meter suggestion? The prism works some of the time, but it's very hit or miss and i'd like to get something to double check / do incident metering.

If you don't have the money for an actual meter, there are a number of smart phone apps that work fine in a pinch. I use the one called (for some reason) Light Meter. It also cuts down on the amount of poo poo you have to carry and is a little more inconspicuous if you're shooting in public.

 I hadn't even thought of that. Usually I do cover it, but that would explain the inconsistency of it. Thanks.

I ended up using shots with streaks in the exhibition I had this year, sometimes they work well, other times they just look a little lovely, especially in horizontal shots.

 This thing looks brand new. The counter only shows 45. I wonder if that's accurate or it's been reset or rolled over 999. Based on the condition, I would believe it's only taken 450 photos.

Probably the previous owner could only afford to shoot 450 pictures before running out of money and having to sell the camera to continue to eat.
