Pm'ed you!

I recently acquired a Kodak Automatic 35F, and I'm trying to get it back to working condition, but the pressure plate has completely detached from the film back. It seems that it was originally held on with a foam spacer and adhesive, which has since totally disintegrated. Does anyone know what...

PM sent for bulk film loader

I would try oxidizing the sulfur to a sulfate with bleach. It might be slow, but the sulfate should come off in hot water. Pinky-grey could be a mixture of pink sodium selenite and gray selenium-- bleach could be another good choice there.

That would be mine! I'm glad you received it in good order, and that you appreciated it! The equipment challenges were not insurmountable, but an iPad does not make for a strong light source, and I must be the only person still using the Paper Exposer app! 110 seconds in yellow, 200 in magenta...

I've sent mine out this afternoon.

I'll give it a shot! Hopefully this post lets me use the PM system to send you my address.

That's the benefit of experience, I suppose. When I looked up this very solution, all I found were posts discussing the use of diluted RA-4 Blix as a typical reducer. Using C-41 Blix diluted to that same extent would take about an hour of constant agitation to achieve the same results as what I...

Quite a while back, I acquired a pair of rolls of very expired Kodak Vericolor II ProS, in 120 size. Having shot and developed the first roll as C-41, with the result of very pale images, I turned instead to caffenol to develop the second roll. This resulted in nearly totally opaque film -- even...

I was just needing a +3 diopter in series VI, but I ended up buying one on eBay!

Hi all, I've gone through a few posts trying to find something useful to do with about 17 sheets of old Polacolor type 58, and hopefully someone here can add something to point me down the right path. -The developer used has a pH of about 13. -The negative has a carbon backing. I don't...
