At school when I need to leave my developing film somewhat unattended I
rig up a unicolor roller to accept our tanks. It's supposed to do
Foward-Reverse, but it just goes in one direction. I get good results
with it, even if the tank gets a snag for a minute or two i just add

Just developed a role of kodak 400tx with ilford chemicals useing same process i would used for 100 iso.  Kinda figured it would be wrong to do so, but did it anyway, with bad results
can someone please advise on developing times for kodak 400tx using ilford

I want to shoot some resolution shots to test my LF lenses. If I use
D-76 that has been spent developing other negatives, what can I expect
from the negatives developed beyond the rated capacity? The qualities
in a negative that the developer impacts are contrast, maximum density

several weeks ago I posted some questions regarding using fast film to
take pictures at local venues of live music. Someone (i forget who)
suggested I go give it a go and become the expert... as if.
Well, I've been off and done it, and finally got some shots available on

I RECENTLY OPENED A SMALL STORE IN PENSACOLA, FLORIDA AND I CAN'T FIND
ANYONE WHO WILL DISPOSE OF OUR EXHAUSTED BLEACH/FIX. DO ANY OF YOU GUYS
KNOW OF A COMPANY WHO WILL COME TO PENSACOLA AND PICK IT UP?
I DO HAVE A SMALL RECOVERY UNIT MADE BY X-RITE (MODEL 603), BUT I CAN'T

May 13, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick,
I've just been to the farmers' market
shopping, then on to the supermarket, where I
found it was swimming pool season ...

Suddenly in my quest for accurate E6 processing.
I have a source for certified calibrated thermometers (Mercury)
is anyone interested in obtaining one? The incremental I think will be
one  10 th degree Celsius, calibrated  and certified at specific data

I found some out B&W film, it says KODAK 5055 CSY on the negative, I
have googled and searched the kodak site and *cannot* find out what's
the formal name or any other information on the film. There were two
VERY odd things about it, it came in 21 exposures, and the negatives

My question is: why?
Are there any others here who not only don't mind, but actually like the
stains that well-used processing trays acquire over time?
I think of them as hard-earned patinas. (I especially like that graphite

I want to start taking, developing and printing pinhole pics. Does anyone
know what chemicals I'll need?
Cheers!

I have a 400 sq foot garage with a standard door for human entry and a
garage door (standard type that would be used with a garage door
opener). It has an outer window in the door and 3 other windows 29.5x35
I believe, it's a standard size in older homes. I have covered them off

After an unintentional extended absence from my darkroom, my paper fix
concertina bottle is full of a dark grey precipitate which is insoluble
in water.  What can I use to dissolve this and clean my bottle?  Is it
the same as the pale yellow ppt I see in splashes on the fix bottle ...

Is there a target ph for phenidone-hydroquinone superadditivity? I ask
because I don't see why adding a little phenidone to "imporved" D76 wouldn't
improve the developers effective iso's.
