Does film base need to receive chemistry when processing?
Could it conceivably remain flat and dry while chemicals act on the
emulsion?
Is it at all permeable, and does it need as adequate a washing as the

     Does anybody know anything about these? How pratical is it to use
these in a non-minilab setup?

I am specifically referring to EFKE KB25 (also PL25, which is the lge format
version.
I used the 35mm last year, developing in Rodinal.
However given a sunny day and the tonal range went crazy. I shot some

If there is one item that I feel is just too expensive in photography,
it's matt boards. Archival rag boards 2ply and 4ply, even at Light
Impressions is just too much, unless you're getting the big bucks. Has
anyone found any alternative sources? How bout a trip down south?

Does any company still do disc film development,......I have a
client that has several in need of C41 processing.
TIA

I develop Super-8 films myself. Mostly Fomapan R100 using the Fomapan
reversal kit in a LOMO spiral tank.
I found some old unused cartridges with Ektachrome inside. These must be
processed in E-4.

I was hoping someone could recommend what to do about a roll
of Kodak Tech Pan that I accidentally shot at ISO 80.  Yes I know
this is a contrastly film and pushing it isn't the best idea.
Unfortunately I make extremely stupid errors when I haven't shot in a

Forget the new generation of 3000000 segment metering SLRs. Go back to
basics and think for yourselves!!!!

I switched to trough development for my 120, to ensure even skies,
especially in
bright scenes, which included snow, but were also given considerable
exposure for shadow detail. I had been getting extra density on my

Currently I'm using a thermometer well on the end of my (<$30 BORG special)
brass "laundry" faucet to regulate temperature. It works -- well OK, I
guess. My flow rates are a bit of an unknown to me at present. Is there an
economical automatic flow/temp controller that anyone would ...

Well, I done it again; through sheer skill, I have *another* roll of unexposed
35mm film with the leader inside the can. Now how the hell do I get it out?
I know there are leader retrievers available for sale; I don't want to buy
one. I've heard somewhere or other that one can ...

Got myself 2 12x12" mirrors for $3 and scratched off a 1" circle on one to
align.
I easily adjusted the front-to-back negative stage alignment with the screw
at the bottom of the focussing rails.

My local photo place wants $9 a pop for those 1 gal. chemical jugs! I feel
it's a little much for 25 cents worth of plastic. Are they magic or
something. Couldn't I use rinsed out antifreeze jugs or windshield washer
jugs? Do they have to be opaque? Thx.

I just purchased a KW Praxidos 6x9 cm enlarger on eBay -- it was $31.99,
shipped, which I figured offset the fact that it's old and the wiring
may not be up to current standards -- I can rewire it, it's no worse
than a lamp.  And yes, it's a diffusion type -- which is what I ...

at some of my pics. They`re probably stupid but hey, I`m still learning
