Static and threaded filter	28 Jun 2005 18:08 GMT	1
I have been having trouble with one specific B+W filter (80c, if that matters) and static: I cannot keep dust off of this thing and I can actually feel a small shock if I touch the glass after cleaning it. Is this a problem that can be solved (an antistatic spray?) or should I

Hope to hear any advice on keeping film cool in your camera bags, cameras, vehicles etc in these hot months. Looking for advice on not only with pre- shot film but also AFTER you shoot it. I know the best case is processing ASAP but sometimes that can't happen when out in the ...

Dektol brown in color when mixed.	23 Jun 2005 19:04 GMT	5
Ilford stopped making Bromophen which Ive always used. It mixed up clear and only turned brown over time as it oxidized. I've switched to Kodak dektol and the first batch I mixed was dark brown as soon as I added water to the powder. I was careful with the
Beseler 45 enlarger operation question	23 Jun 2005 18:32 GMT	2
My Beseler 45 MX-II has a lever on the left side that lowers the negative stage so a negative holder can be inserted - I believe this is standard as photos of other 45s I've seen all have this. When I release the lever after inserting the neg carrier), I have to push the stage up ...
