If I can get it in West Australia, you can get it in the USA! Best developers for it are Rodinal or T Max liquid. It doesn't need a lot of agitation in the tank - one turn per minute is fine and no shaking up and down past the first tapping to clear the air bells. The results have a bit of grain, but the tones are very nice and they almost seem to have a little IR overtone under hot lights. And it loads onto a SS reel a treat.

The poster asked a question of the HUG asking how to fix a specific problem. Helen and Dick Werner essentially answer: if you buy our manual, we'll tell you. That's what their link is for. Real class there guys. Forgive me for assuming that you actually were going to do a service to a list member and really answer his question.

As a lot of you know, I have always been available by telephone and email, to answer any questions and give any help that I can. I know this is a bit early, but I had better mention it now, in case it is forgotten later. I am going to be out of town from the 28th of May through the 10th of June, so will not be able to get the phone (I do have an answering machine and always return calls) or answer any emails. I am going to my favorite spot in this world, which is Cabo San Lucas. I love to fish, and the fishing down there is the best in the world. Last year, I went down there 5 times for the fishing, and this will be my first trip this year. LET ME TELL YOU, I REALLY NEED IT. I want to get that line in the water, and fight some fish.

First, since you are in England, you should learn how to speak English. >³I guess the best thing is to give away what you know, which from your >post is not much.² Second, if you know so much, why do you not give an answer. Why don't you write a repair manual, then we can all be happy with yours. Third, are you going to be on call all the time as I am? Sure, with some smart ass answer. Have you ever had a franchise for Hasselblad and have you ever used every piece of equipment that they have ever made? Do you know how to take it apart and put it back together again? If someone has a problem, can you email them as I have done today, to correct it? Do you take and return calls from people that have problems as I do? Do you answer them? Show me what you have and what you can do my friend. Do not be too quick to criticize unless you can do better and have more knowledge. The next time you have a repair problem, walk into your local repair shop and ask them to set you down and walk you through the repair. They would laugh you all the way out the door. It is your kind that wants something for nothing, and in this world there are no free lunches, although I do give plenty of them away.

Message-ID: I looked at both of the sites listed by Ulrik and took out my small screwdriver, hammer, chisel, and duct tape of course. Rolled up my sleeves, wiped the sweat from my brow, and had the camera fixed in less than a minute. I really appreciate the advice. I had been doing searches and could not find any site with this info. But I did find HUG, and an easy fix to a problem that came at a time when I really need the camera working. It was such a simple fix, just turn the screw. Luckily it was not a hard jam. I may not have wanted to do it without the proper tools. Thanks Ulrik and Rei. Sometimes you have to purchase what you need, sometimes you just need a helping hand. Its very nice when that hand is offered. I owe one to someone in need. Good karma.

Message-ID: <73.d4c2285.281f7e78@aol.com> I am using the same setup as you. That is the Bay 60 w/ step up ring to 67mm and a standard Hassy hood 60. I am using a Tiffen 67mm Polarizer on the stepup ring and have no problem using the hood also. Maybe the problem you are having is the filter has a larger frame than the Tiffen. Hope this helps some.

Message-ID: <00e201c0d1e9$c2629680$9f42b6d1@MikeGardner> I went this route for a while and I used a simple screw-on 67mm rubber lens shade. At some point I wanted to take the adapter off (can't remember exactly why, now) and had a hard time of it and came close to scratching the front element. That cured me. Now I use only B+W bay 60 filters. You only buy them once so the cost can be justified. I only use three filters: a polarizer for color or B&W and a yellow-green and medium yellow for black & white. And I get to use the proper lenshood!. Mike Gardner To avoid the ridiculous cost of Bay 60 filters (or should I say the royalty fee for the mount...), I've decided to use a Bay 60 to 67mm step up ring with my CF 80mm lens and 500c/m. At least this way the filters are about half the cost. Now, my question is- what about the lens hood? What's the recommendation, since the step up ring won't allow me to use my standard Bay 60 Hassy-issue hood. Yet, I think using a lens hood is paramount. Suggestions anyone?

I say enough is enough. I am hereby requesting that you either remove me from this HUG list, or you remove the two jackasses from the HUG list. This is completely your choice. I have given information to many members of this group, and will continue to do so, if you so desire to have me remain in the group. Those two who are creating all the havoc, are either deleted from the HUG list, or I am. Life is to short to listen to this kind of stuff. If and when I go, any help and information goes with me. I have never seen a contribution to this list from the two that are trying to be flamers. We both know that every news group has one/two/three of these types. I just don't need it as life is to short. I do not know what their problem is, but at this point, I do not much care. I have never had any dealings with them, nor would I. As far as I am concerned, they are low life trash. I would appreciate an email from you concerning this matter. In this email, I would appreciate your answer as to who goes. If it is me, I can live very nicely without the trash being written, especially from the two that know nothing. If I do not hear from you within the next 2 days, I shall unsubscribe myself and as I said above, and all the help goes with it.
