Hi, I'm looking for a book containing chemical reactions that occour
during darkroom work: develop, stop, fix and so on. I've bought "The
darkroom cookbook" of Steven Anchell, very interesting, but I would
like to study the chemistry that is involved in photographic

Please tell me the difference in the "look" of these 2 similar speed films.
What are the comparitive characteristics?
thanks

Does anyone have ANY information on Rodinal Special? I have been given a
bottle with no instructions. The Agfa site gives some info but not much.
Thanks,  Bob

Due to a massive vapor lock of the prefrontal lobes I blew a roll through
the C-330 with TRI-X PAN PROFESSIONAL  at ASA 100   *.*   thinking it was
E-100VS color transparency, which is what is normally in this body...
Now, given that I thought I was shooting color I suspect there is ...

I just got a 300mm Componon S enlarging lens, a monster piece of
glass. I will be using it on a cold light head enlarger for B&W
printing. I want to use two 4" square filters for contrast control. I
once read somewhere about using two filters not specifically made for

After many years I am getting back into some enlarging/printing.
I have the Omega B22 with El Omegar L455-110, 1:3.5 50mm lens made in
Japan.
I will be printing from 35mm negatives on at most 11 x 14 paper.

When you have some spare time, could you pls do a calculation of the pH
of:
65 g sulfite;

I'm using the matte, which I like very much (type C, for landscapes).
Does anyone use the glossy, and if so, do you think the glossy looks better
than the matte?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm member of one of the best and probably the most active Photo Clubs
in Bulgaria.
We are looking to establish some relationship with other Photo Clubs

As you may have read in my previous postings, or if you were smart and
ignored them, I had spent many years developing films using EDWAL FG-7
for everything.
I took a six year hiatus from photography and am starting to get back

I just made a few B&W prints from negs that were developed in a pro
lab.  I noticed how perfectly clean the negs were as I pulled them from
the glassine sleeves and how quickly they tended to pick up small dust
spots with my brief careful handling.  It led me to do a thorough

I posted similar information earlier in the rec.photo.film+labs newsgroup.
It is a commercial announcement that Adox Fotowerke, Inc. is now selling a
film-developer combination called Adox Bluefire. It is the film and
developer formerly sold by Bluefire Laboratories which has been ...

This is the second time I write to this newsgroup and I newly need
your aid!
I have photographed a castle in low contrast scene with much fog!!!
Film is a Delta 400 (120) erroneously rated to @250 :-(

I teach traditional photography at a high school that is considering
closing the lab in a few years. We also have students (90 per semester,
5 periods a day) scan negatives and output to 3000 printers using MIS
inks, but most of the semester is devoted to the wet process.

I've been looking into giving delta-100 a try as a hedge against Kodak
discontinuing film manufacture. I'm ready to start film testing before actual
use and have a a bottle of ilfotec dd-x and a bottle of ilfosol s. I've been
looking at the web site and the times given for delta-100 ...
