This morning's NY Times has an article about HP's future with a new CEO.
One of their considered strategies to maximize their strength in

I the expense of really sounding stupid I need to ask a very naiv
question.  Hope someone can help.
My son purchased an enlarger off of E-bay.  Its an Opemus III.  He's a
eager young photo enthusiast and is trying to set up his darkroom. Whe

I've wondered for some time if E-6 labs (or C41 for that matter) are
set up to get your film through the process in the shortest amount of
time versus what would be required for the best quality. These are all
silver-based processes, and anyone who has developed their own B&W film

A friend uses this developer to make some beautiful prints, but has run out
of her supply.  I searched in Google for a source and found none.  Does
anyone know if this is still available?  Alternatively, does anyone have a
formula for mixing it yourself?  Thanks in advance.

 I'm having a terrible time clearing that pinkish halide or ? coating from
my Kodak films from 120 Roll (Tmax and Tri-X) as well as my sheet film of
the same. I'm processing in a Jobo and am using both a 5 minute ...

Alright. I think Agfa Pan-X is a new film, according to its white
papers. The 400 film seems to shoot like 200 and this is troubling to
me. I'm developing it in D76 at roughly 1:1 and 12 minutes isn't cutting
it. I'm just about to shoot a concert with it and I'd like to know if

Just wondering, dreaming of the day I might actually try to make prints on
"real" (i.e., fiber-based as opposed to RC) paper ...
So, as most of us know, one of the big problems with FB is washing. And one of
the things that turns me off of using it is the enormous quantity of water

I'm converting my old analog scanning electron microscopes to digital/pc

One of the important questions is how many bits of resolution ie: levels

I have been using techpan as a reversal film for many years. I recently
