Hi all, hope you can help me out.
I've managed to claw back some darkroom space for my enlarger in the corner
of a room that I can black out adequately when it's dark outside. I can't
deal with chemicals in there though, so I'm hoping to use a Jobo drum for

I accidentally shot a roll of Agfa APX400 with my camera film speed set to
ISO/ASA 100. The subject matter was landscape/city photography from a high
above place. The day was relatively bright.
I have done some push processing, but have so far not tried to seriously

In the last post some one recommended calibrating the Paper

I have never heard of this practice before
Thanks in advance

I just picked up an Omega SCA-100 Color Analyzer with no instructions. Could
somebody post or tell me how to operate a color analyzer? From the top down

My stock of Ilford Rapid fixer is shrinking and my local dealer can't get
his hands on the 5 litres package unless he buys for over 2000$ Ilford

I have updated my homepage
There's a new slide-show with zoolife images.

It's with some regret and misgivings that I contemplate the future of
