I would like to know what the effects are of developer dilution beyond the
obvious of longer development such as does it affect grain size? Does it
affect the action of the developer on the high or low values differently
than straight developer? In other words, anything of ...

I am being evicted from my current darkroom, and am building a new
darkroom in our basement to replace my current space.
All is going well, but I have a question regarding plumbing which I
was wondering if anybody could help me with:

I am going to be using one bathroom in our condominium as a darkroom, so
I need to make the door light tight.  I'm sure I can improvise with what
I can find at my local hardware store, but I wonder if there are any
products made specifically for such purposes.  Or any clever ways ...

As far as I can observe, all consumer enlargers work in CYM. I built one which
works with three sources of light in RGB. My analyzer reads CYM. DOes anybody
have any idea on a simple way of equivalency?
Thank you,

I am a high school senior looking for a black and white enlarger. I do
not have much money, but I really want an an enlarger as I belive that
black and white photography is my true passion. Over the past nine
months, I have developed over 250 rolls of film, but during only a few

Hi, I've overexposed a Kodak HIE roll, at least 2 stop more. What time
of develop can I use compared with the right one used to develop a
well-exposed roll? I.e., if 9 min with ID-11 is OK for a roll for
which I've used 400 ISO of sensibility, what is the time you suggest

Is it possible (well, smart, at least) to dump silver-saturated black
and white fixer into an SRS system designed for C-41? I work at a local
photo lab and I'd like to be environmentally conscious, too.

would you recommend pushing APX100 with Rodinal, following the times given
at Digitaltruth
http://www.digitaltruth.com/chart/pages/pushproc.html
(increasing given developing time by a factor)

I'm interested in hearing from Kodak HC110 developer users. Likes, dislikes,
good qualities, bad qualities, from those who have used it or are using it.
All comments are welcome........well, almost all are! Thanks.

I just started getting some dark spots on some of the ilfochrome prints I
make in my jobo cpa.   These spots look like they are drops that are
splashed on and probably from the solution(s) I use.  It doesn't happen all
the time and never in the past.  I have been printing ...

I'm in the process of setting up a small darkroom and I am not sure where I
should place things like safelights. I dont have much space. Here is a scale
drawing of the space I was hoping you could help me out. The ceilings are
7ft high. I have a small Durst 35mm enlarger and a ...

I am having problems with too much grain in my B&W photos.  I think it is
caused by something I'm doing or not doing during film development.  I'm
using 35mm Ilford FP4+ at EI 125 and developing as follows:
D-76 1:1 at 68 degrees for 11 minutes (recommended time)

I've read that the Stock solution made dissolving A and B components
of Ilford ID-11 developer in the appropriate amount of water can be
considered stable for 6 months in a fullfilled bottle. Is it true? Is
it better to use demineralized water to prepare it?

Has anyone ever tried those little italian Christmas lights as a darkroom
safelight? I seem to recall hearing you could make your own out of LEDs, but
are these little lights too bright for such activities? I know they are
incandescent, but are they dim enough to work. Maybe just ...

Using the 184 and CLS 300 head for my 8x10 (and smaller)  work and the 205
glass carrier. My questionis- If using for smaller formats (6x6 and 4x5)
what type carrier are you usung--the 205 and the 8x10 glass OR the inserts
from Durst Pro for the appropriate formats. Which is the ...
