On that other topic on Efke 50 film, one poster mentioned developing
that film in FG7.
What is the short version of why this developer is so unique?  I used
it 40 years ago but I can't recall the reason I did.

I saw a developer called Ethol UFG recently which I suspect is more well
known in the US rather than Europe.
Can anybody tell me something about this product and how it compares with
D-76/ID-11 ?

I have a problem with my E-6 processing.
Kodak 100G, standard time for developers. slides have a pink hue, and seem
to be underexposed.
I tried longer 1st dev times and 105f temperature, but still get the same

Does anyone have any good (consistant) home-mixed RA-4 formulas?  Do
they use CD-3 0r CD-4. I've seen both on the internet and tried a few
without consistant results. Any help would be welcome.

Regarding the ongoing debate over metrification for the U.S. and few
other places that aren't currently "with the program" (yes, Virginia,
there is a robust debate over this, believe it or not), another data
point. I recently bought something at Ikea. Now, of all the companies

Are processing times for the various rotary tube processors
transferable from one brand to another? In particular, would Jobo times
be transferable to a phototherm processor? (Note: I don't think that
phototherm includes a presoak and the temperature is 75F, so let us

Here is the formula I used:

I had the great fortune to pick up a King Concept rotary film processor
the other day.  It uses only Hewes reels, which were sold as "Omega

Is this type of dryer a good way to go for 11x14 fiber print drying?

It's small request, but, once you take your film out of the tank and attach
the film hangers what do you hang the hangers on? Currently I'm using a
couple of dry wall screws with some alligator paper clips, but there got to
be a better way ...

I am considering using either Kodak (100TMX) in ReadyLoads or Fuji 100 Acros
in QuickLoads for my 4x5 camera. Does any one use either of these films
