Thanks for replying in advance.
Am moving to Bel Air Maryland and would like to become involved with a camera
club in the area if there is one.  Any help is appreciated.  I am on the Board
of directors of an area camera club here in Upstate NY and would like to

mar3104 from Lloyd Erlick,
I came across a file called leemil.htm today. It's
a review of a book about Lee Miller, by Elsa
Dorfman, who remarks:

     Is there any downside to pre-soaking the film with water prior to
the chemicals? It would pre-heat my tank and film. I'm using a plastic tank
and with pre-heating everything the temp should stay steady for the
developer time.

Well, it's happened.  I have used my last sheet of 4x5 Plus-X and am
going to have to find another film to replace it.
I have been using quickloads for my colour images, and am appreciating
those more and more - no dust, light weight (they even make your

Local photo supply is currently out of Rodinal ( don't know when it will be
back in stock).
I have good old Kodak Motor Oil ( HC 110) and am looking for  some
suggestions as to recommended dilution and times with Agfapan APX 400 .

OK, this might be a typical beginner question, but then I *am* a
beginner...
How long does fixer concentrate stay usable in an opened bottle? I've
just noticed that the fixer I made from said concentrate yesterday

I am searching for a fine grain film (and a developer for it) for use in my
studio. I have powerful lamps so film speeds like 12 or 25 ISO aren't a
problem.
Which will you recommend.

The only available developer is D76. I will be shooting at ISO 3200.
What times/temps/dilutions should I use to reduce the grain as much as
possible?
I will also be developing TMax 100 and 400 with the D76. What

BKA's - Ethol's, UFG, LPD, Acufine and Diafine seem to be the only developers
available in cans, are there any others? I want to stockpile film and paper
developers and besides the ones I mentioned, we're left with Rodinal, HC-110,
and PMK as the "longevity champs". How many others ...

I have no way of having a real darkroom. But I
wonder if it is possible to do it with stuff such
as a changing pup-tent for loading exposed film
into a tank, a drum processor outfit like a dev-tec

wich times and temperature for this film in 35mm with D-76 1:1 ?

Hello, I asked this question on pure-silver board but did not catch a lot of
attention. My  apologies to those who get the message twice because of
crossposting.

     A while ago some discussion happened on using a pre-rinse to over
come green tint on the paper. I did some not very carefull testing. With the
paper I cut from a roll of Supra III a rinse really is needed. Not doing it
seems to really cause green meanies. OTOH using Supra Endura ...

Any advice on a cheap, readily-obtaining material that I can use to
diffuse the light from the enlarger (below the lens).  I want to use my
color analyzer, with its probe, as an exposure meter.
