yes, in deedee… from someone seemingly informed by nostalgia rather than knowledge. Those one-hours were called “hot-heads,” or “crab-shacks” by the owners, employees — the people who had to man and manage them. They were so hot people didn’t wear underwear.. they stunk so much, malls didn’t want them near food or clothing. That’s why the idea of the booth in the parking lot took off… a solution to polution.
Loud Loui on the forum for forgettings
such a furor. a broken machine and a small time lab is distressed. Perhaps destroyed.
This leads us to the fantastic pastime of remembering past times. Even if those aren’t your experiences to own, you will make claims… they provide you with special views; special privileges.
The reality of the revival… it is in 35mm roll film. Mostly a thing of color. Mostly to be scanned. And the big bounce thing, that birthday of renewed interest: it depends upon cities with twenty-somethings re-iterating their parents. The typical number of rolls shot is less than 20 per user, after which they look for someone to buy their camera.
Oh, they never put aside the digital kit. Actually, old digital point and shoots are the current, 2022/23 sales impulse. 2004 is the new fad, not 1984.
Why do you say sorry to the one making loud, insistent claims, while also being the one with no known claim to qualification? They make many small mistakes; repeat rumors as though they were found on Stone Tablets.
Why you believe them? Because they are loud, everywhere and persistent. They are so persistent that they are given space by moderators of forums. Forums that make claims of their own. They hold the vessel of the true past. Of course, they don’t.
Small mistakes repeated are errors of base knowledge. Edit errors are rarely repeated by those with commitment to their accuracy; by those who value their own knowledge.
The Roger Ailes method: make a statement claiming, or crediting someone else with the statement. Makes it seem less like something you made up. This is a common form of internet forum conversation. “I heard that” — but can’t, or won’t say, out of politeness, or perhaps non-disclosure…let it trail off into their assumption. The listener/reader will fill in with their own sense of meaning, wanting to seem in the know, and important too.
A Few Small Examples.
without knowing how coatings are made, stored, sold, we have another answer.
The name was wrong. So is the method of ‘branding’
and comes the title of today — the person who caught the flaw is sorry to have called out teacher.
This is ultimate gold to a bully. You monitor yourself. You made the error, not them.
All foreign companies sound the same: Foma, Forte, Fotokemika.
DuPont took over Schleussner in 1962 and continued making the same products using the Adox brand name. In 1972 Dupont sold some of the German coating plant and licensed the formulae to Fotokemika who used the trade name EFKE, that’s when the original Adox brand name ceased for films & papers. Film boxes carried the Made under License from DuPont.
Often made “typo” — mistaking the 500K vs. the horizon daylight value for viewing chromes: 5000K
The point that DW was trying for was:”good color meter” — we are meant to believe that is what he owns.
We will envy him his ownership, so we will value his knowledge.
Expanded Reading: Color
5000K is “soft daylight” — a standard to match prints to slides.
D50 has a correlated color temperature of 5000K, D65 has a CCT of 6500K. The difference is the D illuminants are exact colors as defined spectrally, not a range of colors.
Avoid saying K without specifying it is a correlated value. D50 is exact.
Looking at the CIE, note the CCT lines run up and down (magenta to green). A color temp can be anywhere along that line.
Look at one kelvin value on one line. Your color temp meter can tell you 6500K and the color could be anywhere on that line. That’s the variation
