Hi to all
Yesterday evening I have prepared two developers for print, the BEERS
(two baths) and the ANSCO 120 for to use in place of selectol soft for
the two baths development procedure.

I am in quite a situation.  I traveled from Chicago to South Dakota,
Montana and Wyoming for a few weeks this summer.  I shot about 60 rolls of
black and white film along the way.  As I have been printing test prints
and contact sheets the last few weeks I have sadly discovered ...

Has anyone ever thought of having a 4-up 2 1/4 negative carrier that would
fit in a 4x5 enlarger?  My Beseler can obviously cover a 5x5 area and so it
would seem that two negative strips could be lain parallel with respective
openings to allow the simultaneous printing of four ...

I'd appreciate if somebody can comment on the characteristics curves
of the following films:
APX 100
APX 400

A fiction exists which states that the Zone System and roll film
are not compatible. Search this NG for, ansel blad backs. There
you will learn HOW TO.                                       Dan

So far, I've done all my printing on Ilford MGIV RC paper (satin and
pearl finishes).  I'd like to try FB paper.
How is Agfa MC Classic paper compared to Iford?  Reason I'm eying this
stuff is that its cheaper and offered in semi-matte for 5x7" at B&H.

Does anyone here use phenidone devlopers made from scratch? I have
trouble measuring small quantities, say less than 1 gramme. Is it
reasonable to measure a larger weight (say 5 grammes), in a small
Paterson graduate, then see how much volume it takes up, and divide by

Does anyone has some experiences in developing in Xtol mixed with
Rodinal?
I work with Agfa, Efke and Tmax films, also Delta, FP+ and HP5+ from
Ilford.

I have just upgraded my b&w darkroom into a colour one and i was wondering
if anyone has any good information (books or web based tutorials) about how
too go about devoloping colour prints.

Around 20 years I did some b/w photography in my high school lab for a
few years.  I was thinking of getting back into it.  
I have been scouring the net trying to find out a comprehensive FAQ on
home b/w photography.  For example, what are the bare necessities for

Just souped a roll of Plus-X (120) in HC-110 dilution B. I used a recommended
(by another amateur) time of 5 minutes (temp. was ~ 72°), since I'd gotten
much too dense negatives using the recommended development time.
This time the negatives were better, but still too dense: ...

You do realize of course that whatever the media says is hot becomes
hot. If the media come out and says that digital is already old hat,

I'm looking for a B&W film that even when underexposed and hence yields
a "thin" negative, will still provide ample information for a properly
adjusted print.
Thanks

I'm getting ready to jump on the Pyro bandwagon and need some guidance.
I would like to use the Photographer Formulary PMK and Plus-X Pro (120
format, because I have it on hand).  However, I have not been able to find
much about this combination.  Am I taking the wrong path?

I recently bought a Jobo processor mainly for doing C-41 and E-6 but
also am going to B&W in it.
I've always made B&W contact sheets.  Pretty easy.  Fiogure out the
best time onthe enlarger and away you go.  I also have extensivly done
