Belated Happy New Year to all of you ...

Dear friends,
Tonight is my 2nd time printing XP-2.
Technical data is :
Photo taken with Bronica 645 with 75mm MC lens.

I own a Luna Pro SBC.  I recently came into possession of the
enlarging attachment, but no instructions.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

hi.  so i want super contrasty negs when i develop ilford fp4.  i'm using
ilfosol-s 1:9.  how long do you suggest?  8 minutes?  more?  i don't want
photocopy contrast, just a good balance which i seem to be lacking when i
wash it for 6.5 minutes.  suggestions welcome.

I have not tested myself, so:
People usually say that the "true speed" of (say) TMmax 3200 is around
1000. Ok. But is this 1000 the same as in "the true speed of tmax100 is
about 50"? So the ISO speed of Tmax3200 might be around 2000?

I've searched the web, including Google Groups, but I can't determine the
physical dimensions of a D2 or D6, two of the larger enlargers I've been
looking at.  My ceiling in my dark room is 7 to 7.5 feet high, and the D6 is
an XL frame, to my knowledge--I've also only got about 3 ...

Hi, yet another newbie question here:  I see several El-Nikkor lenses on
ebay, some of which I've heard are good lenses, 50 2.8 and 80 5.6.  The
lenses I'm seeing a lot of, however, are obviously older lenses.  They look
like they come from the days of Nikon AI lenses.  Are these ...

Hello Newsgroup,
-- THE BEST WISHES AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR ---
It has been a while since I updated my homepage
But finally I managed to build a new gallery with great pictures from;

Polaroid Type 55 PN film negatives require a clearing solution that
is sodium sulfite in water.  How long can I expect a properly stored
mixture to last?  And does anyone know the capacity of, say, 1 liter
of solution?

Just a word to let you know that the version 3 of my software arrives
progressively online ...
The software is now connected to th? real world and drives the enlarger.
It is still rather simple as it only switches on and off the enlarger, two

Dumb question:
Say I have a 8x10 print that I plan on putting in an 11x14 frame.  Do you
guys mount the print to an 11x14 board, with a facing board on top (with the
8x10 opening)?

Any suggestions for doing paper negatives? I want to use paper in 4x5
pinhole camera. The Kodak RC paper has "Kodak" all over it!
Englarging type papers would be good for this, as they are around ASA
6, by my understanding.

I'm considering a better, used enlarger to replace my Opemus III (also
purchased used).
My main complaint of the Opemus are lack of column height - so, I have to
go to a WA lens to crop a 24x30cm print; there is no filter drawer so

From time to time, I get some black spots in my negatives (white spots on
prints, slightly fuzzy).
They are not dust specks - they are real dots in the emulsion (I've used
a 10X loupe to look at them).

Has anyone tried Microdol-X at "higher" dilutions, such as 1:6 or 1:10?  
I develop 35mm TMX in Microdol-X at the 1:3 dilution and am wondering if
higher dilutions will offer any advantage in grain, sharpness,
compensation, stand development, etc.  Can't seem to find any info on ...
