In the latest Freestyle catalogue films like Efke and Berger are
offered for sale.  They are supposed to be of the same emulsion as
films from 60 years ago were.  Has anyone been using these?  I would
assume developing in D76 or D23 would be the way to go?  Has anyone

Is there a published formula for a replenisher to match Formula #22,

I have a Omega DIIv and want to change the original 2 glass plates on
the 4x5 negative holder.  I haven't used it because both pieces of glass
which scratch marks on them; instead I use a glassless 4x5 holder.  I
was told that I should install Anti-Newtonian glass.  What is the

Is your digital camera compatible with your computer?
So you recently bought a digital camera or perhaps your thinking about
it. And perhaps you may be wondering how many pictures will your
computer hold? First you need to answer a few questions?

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with Beseler's 35mm Negatran.

    Last month I ordered 500 sheets of Ilford Multigrade from Unique Photo.
 They said they no longer had the exact stuff I wanted in stock, but
they would try to find it.  They did...in England.  They got it shipped
over here and sent it off to me.  Our friends at UPS ...

Hi all, I want to try Maco TP 64 C film. I know the suggested developer
is Maco Docufine LC, a low-contrast developer. From MSDS it is made by
HQ, sodium hydroxyde and sodium carbonate. Because of the difficult to
find it I'm looking for alternative developers, such as Rodinal, or

I am new to photography, well not photography but certainly developing

Is there a slick way of putting digital images on film other than a copy
stand and shooting film of a print?  I have a number of digital images that
I have photochoped or want as transparencies or negs, preferably on 120.  I
can still do things in the darkroom that I can't do ...

Okay - this might sound like a dumb question - the "new" enlarger I just
picked up (1960s vintage Opemus III) has two lenses, with the numbers 4.5/55
and 4.5/75 on them. 4.5 is the maximum aperture, of course, and I presume
the 55 and 75 refer to focal lengths. Why would I want this ...

In the past reciprocity has been a concern when processing films if the
chemicals and water vary too much in temperature.  Is this still true
with modern b/w film emulsions?

I just found 2 rolls of Forte Fortepan 400 B&W print film I had ordered
from B&H in 2004. They are dated as expiring in July 2005. The film has
been
