Secondly, it's on a Hasselblad 501cm with a A16 back. Thought I'd try it again. A great camera no doubt, but really a pain to focus. The throw feels miles long. Just sold it.
501 cm + 60mm f/3.5 + hacked 800TNever tried the Hasselblad.
Focus is different to other TLR camera like Rollei?500 series Hasselblads are SLR's and the the lenses have a long enough focus throw they made an accessory focusing handle.Oh , I mean since the Hasselblads is also left/right reversal. What is the different compare to TLR cameras.

Got it.Pretty much exactly that. It's also a little bit more awkward to focus using the focusing ring on the lens while trying to balance the camera and check focus on the ground class, especially when the focus throw is very long. On something like a Rollei TLR the focusing action is on the body of the camera and is very fast and a short throw.
I heard they are heavy, right?

So many things to say. This was from a roll of 500T that I removed the remjet on before exposure. 35mm is much easier, but really it's not worth the effort on either format. And there seem to be scratches or remjet remaining. Won't be doing that again. The other roll is even worse.Secondly, it's on a Hasselblad 501cm with a A16 back. Thought I'd try it again.

Maybe being too pedantic, but I still wonder why you keep calling this film "Protra". Is it a copy/paste propagating error?
Hope you take no offense

Oh, I never paid attention on it.
I just copied/pasted either from my Flickr or folders on my computer , most of my folders on my computer also named " Protra ". Rofl.
I may noticed before but just too lazy to rename/edit and keep copied/pasted.

Nice! You show what Phoenix is capable of when you create a specific colour profile for it.
So many online reviews that make it seem that it is terrible still are not using correct colour profiles.
What ISO did you rate the film at?

This is the first scan of a 120 HP-5 negative converted with NLP. Lightroom assigned it B&W and the Tone Curve was basically a straight line bisecting the panel:
Out of curiosity, I clicked the Auto button, got a curve that actually followed the histogram:
Maybe something changed with the latest update to Lightroom but it's certainly something I'll be more aware of.
As an aside, the Fujica, even after being serviced is showing it's age. Every few rolls the frame spacing is off and I really don't want to put any more money into it. I have the Holga and Yashica D for 120 so the Fujica is headed for the display shelf.

Thanks, Huss -- my lab did the initial scans, which were indeed horrible (as I feared they might be but wanted to give them a chance), so I rescanned after I picked up the negatives. I don't shoot enough colour film to warrant buying C-41 chemicals so I have the lab develop my colour films but I think I'll stop asking them to scan anything but conventional films.
I rated this at ISO 200, which meant I needed to be out in early morning before it got bright out, as this camera only has two shutter speeds and they are slow: 1/25 and 1/50. Its two apertures are f/8 and f/16. It was designed for the slow films of its generation (late 1950s) and so far I am mostly using ISO 50 or at most 100 film in it.
I used the same colour profile that I use for Kodak Aerocolor IV 2460, which similarly lacks an orange mask. My lab's scans of that film with their Noritsu are also pretty wildly off, but not as bad as their Phoenix scans.

I haven't checked Ebay for a while, some of the sellers in Japan now charge over $100 for shipping.

It started September 1st. I had a $40 dollar item on my watchlist go from free shipping to $350. Did a random survey of countries. Six weeks ago only Belarus and China were exempt from the tariffs. ebay put blue bannera on all listings outside of the US warning of additional charges. So I did a chat session with ebay to find out what my extra charges would be for my $40 item, and where I would pay them. Ebay could not determine either. I would pay the charges at the post office or the nearest customs office. They also could not tell what the tariff amount would be. Instead, I only purchased from within the US for six weeks until last night. I found a small item in the UK. 42 pounds for the item, 3 pounds UK tax, and 12 pounds of US tariff tax. ebay is processing all the US bound sales in the UK then shipping to the US. I imagine it will be a similiar arrangement for Japan. I intend to avoid foreign puchases from now on. Maybe the government will bring back the deminimus exemption some day?

Some of the sellers in Japan are not charging for shipping; I just bought two Fujinon LF lenses from separate dealers and the tariffs/surcharges ended up being 53.00 USD and 68.00 USD for items that were 251.00 USD and 333.00 USD respectively. The purchases were well worth it to me, nearly 1/3 less than US sellers, both B&M stores, and locals on the forums.

That was my gateway camera into the Rolleiflex world, followed by Linhof. It was a beast that took a beating in fixed and rotary winged aircraft during my crazy times in and over Laos...and yes I have the photos to prove it!
