Anyone home ?

Could anybody recommend a good European mail order

I'd prefer precut standard sizes than bulk sheets.
Thanks,

Greetings, I am new to the group.
I am currently working on a project for my high school. I am
researching the chemical reactions in developing photographs.
If any one has any web sites or books that have this information in its

Can someone explain to me the subtlies between these two films. I recently
decided I'd switch from Kodak TMY 400 to Ilford Delta 400. My developer is
XTOL. My first set of negs turned out really dense. What's the difference in
B+F between these two? The difference in development ...

Anybody used this stuff to fix negatives?

Just wanted some information and advice.  I am presently using a
Schneider Componon-S 50mm enlarging lens and am thinking of getting a
60mm Schneider Componar 60/4 in order to avoid light fall off.  How does

I want to produce text masks for photo cards and am wondering if I can
do so with it.

Recently, there's been this persistent "smell" in my darkroom. Not the usual
vinegar or sulfurous smell either. I took the top off of a bottle labeled
"KRST 500:1" that I'd been saving for some reason and it seems the likely

... Ilford Delta 100 and FP4plus?
What's the difference in contrast, latitude, etc.?
And how have you dealt with the differences?
TIA,

I want to imitate the warm (?) look found in Charles Sheller's and
Edward Weston's work with industrial sites - Armco and Ford. I am
working in 35mm format. Anyone have suggestions for paper and

this idiot on my newsgrooup who thinks calling someone a troll is the
