    Years ago I got a small nitrogen tank in a junk shop. I also got a valve, pressure gauge, hose and regulator for next to nothing. A full charge lasts a year or two and I can swap it out for a full...
  3. Re: Why was NASA shooting black-and-white?

    The Moon is far from monochrome, although the colors are subtle. Also, the hardware and people definitely had color. Color/BW has the same tradeoff on the Moon as the Earth.

    In general, fast films fog more quickly than slow, however they're stored. I recently discovered a few rolls of Panatomic X that had been stored at room temperature since the day it was made. It...

    Re: 65mm or 47mm for horseman 970 6x9

    I don't think a 47mm will focus on a Horseman 6x9. A 65mm will focus, but only if you get the slightly recessed lens board that was made for it.

    Re: Frozen Film

    Film doesn't "freeze", at least not at 0C. I don't know where it undergoes a phase change, but its way lower than 0C. Plenty of film gets shot at much lower temperatures than this.
