What are the differences with agfa apx 400?
I've seen that development times are longer.
Thanks

Does anyone know of any sources for Kostiner Easel parts?  I need the

Some of this may be old news to some of you, but I just found this
story about Kodak reducing manufacturing capacity and laying of 15,000
employees: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/techinvestor/techcorporatenews/2004-01-22-kodak-cut

The story poses some interesting questioins ...

     Do any non-pros buy roll paper? I'm basically thinking of it for
making square prints and other harder to find sizes. Other then the space a
roll takes up in the freezer what are the down sides?
    Thanks

Could someone tell me whether the Forte Polygrade V RC and FB papers,
which reportedly use the same emulsion, are considered to be short,
medium, or long toe?
Their web site does have the characteristic curves, but the plots are

The last post to the nose/eye fumes thread reminded me of a thread
started some 16 months ago titled "Passed Out" All those interested
should read that thread. Search this NG for, passed out .

I'd like to re-paint the shiny areas of my old Beseler negative carriers.
What kind of paint should I use? The water base, oil base, and/or enamel
flat blacks available in my hardware store all seem to be too glossy.

I need a recommendation as to what I should look for in a dry mount press -
mostly 5x7 to 11x14 prints - little exerience in this area but I'd like to do

I want to buy a new masking frame for my Saunders UAL 14x17. Any ideas on

It's dense on the edge, then lighter 1/3 of the way in, then denser, ...

This question may be a bit of a handful. My question concerns developers and
what are the effects on the print or film as the developing agents age. I
know most, or I should say those that I use (powdered mix D-76 and Dektol
and Selectol), say a shelf life of 2 months in a ...

I started my B&W darkroom in a basement utility room, measuring about 25x10
feet, with no ventilation.  Its cool and I figured with the size of the
room, it would be ok....also the room is drafty.  Plus I'm an idiot, low on
cash, and was too eager to start making prints before ...

For the first time this evening I developed a B&W print in my
Uniroller drum on a motorized Uniroller base. I am using Ilford
Multigrade IV RC "Deluxe" with Ilford Multigrade developer. Having
never used a Uniroller before (and being unable to find directions for

How do I get that High-key portrait look with B&W film?  I have a white wall
and no studio lighting.  However I have a strobe and a few $2 light fixtures
from the local hardware store.
Do I extend development to intentionally blow the highlights?

I have a model 14 temperature bath. The problem is the red light doesn't come on and the unit is properly grounded. Is there a problem with the unit? I tried it last week in preparation to develop C-41 type film. I wonder the unit should be repaired?
