Last night, I created 2 prints carefully, but I noticed today that both
prints have problems with the highlights.  Upon closer inspection, the white
borders even have an uneven brownish texture to them (like dirt or
something).

I have recently purchased a durst laborator 1200 for a very reasonable
price. It came with the works. I am very exited. I checked the alignment
with the verselab laser aligner tool and it was perfect side to side and
needed adjustment for vertically. I have mostly figured out all ...

I have sealed cans of Ilford Microphen and Acufine of unknown age that have
been stored at 68 deg. C or lower. I have not found any information as to
storage life.  Does anyone have any references?  Thanks

I ran into this on another newsgroup
what you all think?

I just started putting together a darkroom and was reading the
Darkroom Cookbook last night to familiarize myself with paper develper
chemistry. When I started to compare similar formulas, it occurred to
me that it would be handy to index formulas by their components so

Recently I've noticed a slight yellow stain on FB prints (untoned) mounted
in frame under a glass. I know that the glass was washed with glass washer
with ammonia. Could this cause a yellow stain on the paper?

I've Been Looking for a wide angle lens for a 37mm digital handicam,
I'm kind of new to film and photography. Most of the  .45x lenses I've
looked at are fisheye lenses, are all .45x lenses fisheye ? or are
they diffrent from just normal .45x wide angle lenses. Also Is the

This question is for film printers, not digital. When spotting prints, how
do you remove the black marks on a print?

I've recently acquired a Janpol 103 mm f/5.6 enlarging lens, the type
with the color correction filters built into the lens.  It's in
excellent condition aside from someone having trimmed the top flange
(which won't cause me any trouble).  It needs the filter position on one

Purchased on ebay a couple of months ago with its focotar 40. I need
something little, less cumbersome than my chromega s.dichro 5X7 to print
from 24*36 on format up to 20*24. Focomat V35 is a wonderful machine,
fast, quiet and with a strange, beautiful Star Wars Tetrapod look.

I am building a darkroom after finally moving to a house large enough
to hold one and would appreciate any links to some good pictures of
plumbing panels to go above the sink.  I want to keep the plumbing
seperate from the sink for ease of construction and so I can set a

Recently I was distracted during a printing session and forgot to use a filter
when I exposed the paper.  Not realizing what I had done I contiuned and
printed the print as if I had used a filter.  My results are fine, appear to be
midrange, but what is the theoretical grade of my ...

     Does it matter? I'm going to use the developer  one shot. I'm
leaning towards using the stop one shot. That leaves fix and bleach. It
seems the bleach likes oxygen. So does that mean plastic bottles are okay?
How about the fixer?

Is anybody using pre-exposure when takeing pictures? I know it
requires multiple exposure capability but can be done, at least
for one frame, in advance of the actual picture takeing.
I've been lazy up till now but think the added shadow density and

I am currently all digital, but am looking to start playing around with B&W
film.  I would like to do my own developing and either do my own printing,
or scan the negatives then print. I picked up a Kalt Stainless Steel reel
and a cheap roll of film to practice the routine of ...
