Having been in photography seriously since 1970 I guess I am officially an old fart. So I "grew up" photographically speaking with beliefs inherited from the masters of the previous generation. Many of those have proven wrong since by my own experience and by people (some on this forum) who are both photographers and with backgrounds in science and engineering. Don't ask me to cite references for these.....I'm too old. I just want to initiate some discussion. These beliefs included:
Selenium toning makes a print more archival.
gelatin filters are more optically clear than glass filters.
fixer is heavier than water and sinks to the bottom of a washer.
tripod center columns are to unsteady to use with LF.
Anyone want to add to these or dispute them?
