I received an interesting email from Freestyle today,
They state outright that their Arista line of films and papers is made
by Ilford, and identical to the current Ilford line.
They appear to be selling off the last of the Arista branded stuff; it

So after being out of B&W darkroom for years I have started again using a
Durst M670 Color enlarger and have ok success so far but this weekend I am
back to the drawing board........using Kodak, film, paper chems, and after
developing my film I had some good negs.BUT printing them ...

I've been working in my own darkroom for 10 years with an old Omega I
got free, and would like a better enlarger.  I should be able to get
one used with so many people leaving their darkrooms, and would like
some recommendations.  I do B&W, 35 mm and medium format (currently 6x6

I've just been reading through my recently-received copy of
Controls in Black&White Photography, 2nd edition, by Richard
Henry.  What an extraordinary collection of knowledge!  I wish
I'd found it years ago, it has already answered many questions

    I am currently living in a small space with only a bathroom to develop
in.  It has a tub and sink for my trays.  I am looking for plans and
ideas for a cart which I can wheel into the bathroom to start developing
and printing.  Any ideas??????

I'm down to the last of my PolyMax T concentrate (Kodak's liquid paper
developer) that is a year old. The mixed working solution is a nice deep
orange color but still does the job.
However it has a pungent odor!  What oxidation is responsible for this

I did'nt know that positive printing chemicals are almost impossible to find
these days.  Very little Ilfochrome materials, none of the R3 - R3000
chemicals for Kodak Reversal Papers are available, not even from Kodak -
forget about Fuji and Fuji Hunt!!

Do dust spots become more apparent as a print dries? [RC paper]. Thx.

Can I use the ratio 1 (sodium carbonate) to 2 (Kodalk)?

Hey Everybody,
Last weekend I started playing around with liquid emulsions (Liquid
Light, to be precise) and did manage to get a light image on a piece of
fabric. I have a piece of glass gelatin primed and ready to go.

I have a genuine distrust and "mefiance"
toward all group activities. Mass production
of uninspired photojournalism and photography
without thought becomes anonymous

I just graduated from highschool and took 3 years of photogapy class, i am
really interested in buying myself an enlarger but im not sure what i should
be looking for? I have been lookin on ebay and trying to find a good
inexpensive enlarger to use in my appartment, any suggestions? ...

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF SOMEBODY NAMED TIMOTHY ROTHSCHILD?

   It had been a while since I was in the darkroom, more than ten years,
but I had a blast last weekend processing some T-Max 400 shot at night at
1600 and developed in Pyro.  I did some test prints in some leftover
Ektalure G as well as on Ilford Multispeed Warmtone (which ...

Does anyone know of a good photographic chemical supplier in or around
Denver Colorado? I'm looking for individual ingredients for developers
and fixers.
