Their water heater is rather precisely configured and very expensive.  Has
anyone added one to an ATL?

I've done E-6 processing and have a roll of this Ilford B&W HP5 film.
I never did B&W before ;)
I figure its  straight forward. What Chemicals and whos should I use.
I am eyeing...

Thank you all for your inputs - I will consider them in my final decision. I have purchased the D5XL (the price was too good to pass).
How easy is it to "wall mount?" Where would I get the hardware? If I sell the D2 I'm thinking of breaking it up and selling individual parts liek ...

I have some Kodak E6 that was opened in April and assume this will still be
serviceable.
However, I found a  6-bath Tetenal kit that I bought last year that I forgot
about and has not been opened. If sealed, what might I realistically expect

Anybody out there know where in the U.S. it is possible to buy printing
paper (Agfa or Forte or Ilford) in the European 24X30cm (91/2 X 12")
size?  I grew to love that size while living in Europe and am finding

Has anyone used the Holga enlarger? If so what do you think?
I was thinking of getting one.
Thanks

Anyone ever use this stuff back in the day?  I just got a ton of rolls
and want to play with it.  Can anyone bring me up to speed on this
film?  I've Googled but haven't found much.  I'm primarily curious as
to whats ON/IN it- such as the gooey remjet on the K-14 KP40.  

I have been doing a lot of shooting and printing lately and am
bewildered at how quickly I am going through chemicals (yes I use my
fixer and stop by to exhaustion but insist on using developer on a
one-shot basis). Previous discussions on the archive have focused on

I'm not yet experienced with Pyro development, but I'm considering to give
it a try.  My questions concern the enlarger lamp for pringing pyro
negatives.  I read frequently that a cold light head is best for pyro
negatives (presumably due to the yellowish stain on the neg), but I ...
