I cannot get over what is tantamount to dishonesty and the ability to use it for that purpose is. You may have a lax attitude to that standard of morals, but I haven't. If Koraks reads this, then will you please delete my details from this forum, I do not want anything more to do with it.

Strewth, give me strength. I give up! When will you come to accept that AI created images and photography whether it be film based with chemicals and a darkroom with actual negatives or using a digital camera (which I realise will have some AI input,) because those images will have been be seen...

Exactly that is why it should have no place on the forum. Yes I am critical and VERY negative about it per se' as far as photography is concerned. It has proved and already lead to an improvement in the medical field with diagnosis and treatment but the opportunities that AI offers those who...

OK then. AI does not even deserve to be mentioned on pages like this it is a corruption of the word of 'photograph', with about as much kinship to reality as a computer game when compared to say world championship Snooker where it takes real skill developed over many years to succeed. They are...

AI is NOT an art - it is a corruption of views and reality and has no place even mentioned alongside anything to do with 'art' as it .is generally accepted

I don't think that was the case with all lenses. I have two quite old Schneider Componon enlarging lenses that as far as I know when not in use lived all their time in plastic 'keeper' tubs with sachet's of silica gel. One is a 50mm F4.5 and the other a 80mm f5.6. They have perfectly clear glass...

They were not 'magic', If fact, quite the opposite and quite primitive, compared to the best of todays papers, The difference being those who printed on them will have been doing so for eons not knowing anything different so they KNEW how to get the best out of them. One thing that has improved...

I also remember a 36 exposure Kodachrome (original only 10 ISO) was around in your currency valuation at the time about $4 how much would that be today? A 35mm/36 exp cassette of Ilford FP3 (FP4 was in the future) was about 25 pence, it can be anything up to £10 a roll. so as in most things the...

The price of virtually everything has gone up but so have the incomes. Let us face it, Photography with film can appear to be expensive but compare that with the prices way back in 1962 when I started . I was taking home only £5 a week not enough to pay tax on.. The nearest equivalent job...

Read the full post! (properly) The level does not reach either the self made hole in the red cap of the 35mm tank when the tank is on its side on the Jobo processor, or the one on the older screw top cap which can be used for 2 x 35mm or 1 x 120 film. The hole is also too small to leak if the...

This was a problem for me but no more. When using a JOBO 35mm or 120 tank with the recommended level of developer etc the internal level does not come above the centre point on the cap . I use a .5mm drill to pierce the top of the tank and that is a vent for the gasses that can build up the hole...

I don't use E6 because of the cost of the film, but taking into consideration that Kodak branded C41 developer is again available in UK I would think on balance that it may well be.I am a low user of C41, now following the demise of my NOVA processor, but the 2.5 litre kit that I opened around 6...

2 boxes of Ilford MG paper paper but they still not have arrived. There seems to be a hold up with the box of A4 from Ilford to the dealer. I believe it is not the most popular size they sell so there may be limits on the number of boxes produced.

This is one situation I have never had a serious problem with, possibly because I have almost always lived in areas where the water was quite soft. I still give it a final dip in water with something like Fotoflow added to it. After it's final washing the tank is filled with the Fotoflow...

Perhaps not regretting Nikon equipment, but actually selling the Olympus SP, I may have given a wrong impression I regretted going over to Nikon. No regret there be assured
