You're conflating the 1888 Kodak and the 1900 Kodak Brownie. The 1888 Kodak was the one that utilized stripping film. The alternative was paper base film which was treated with castor oil to make it more translucent, but the stripping film was superior in image quality. The stripping film...

New test with this film with some better results. Thus time I developed in D-23 1:1 dilution for 15 minutes at 68F. 60 second prewash. Agitation continuous for first 30 seconds, then 5 inversions every 3 minutes thereafter. Acid stop bath, rapid fixer 5 minutes, hypo clear and 10 minute wash...

I tried developing a roll of this today with very poor results. I shot a roll of 120, 3 scenes each shot at EI of 6, 12, 25 and 50. I developed this in TDLC-103, which is composed of: 1g Metol 5g Sodium Sulfite 10g Sodium Bicarbonate Water to make 1000ml I developed this roll for 10min at...

Interested in selling my Rolleicord IV. It works fine, and takes nice images, but it's just not a camera I personally enjoy using all that much, and I'd rather it go to someone who will use it. Camera is in overall good condition. Lenses are clean and clear. Shutter was serviced and...

I don’t think these features are that unusual. The xenar was a higher tiered lens option over the radionar triplet these are often found with. The cold shoe would have probably been for an accessory rangefinder and the small focus scale as you put it is probably the depth of field calculator.

The ebay seller who has that film says they shot test images at ISO 12, so I would expect some pretty good age related fog.

There's some confusion here. There's two types of yellow you could be seeing in a lens. The first is a yellow tint of the anti-reflective lens coating. This is caused by the specific coating of the lens, and the composition and thickness of it. The coatings applied to camera lenses are...

Yes, originally rear surface mirrors were used in the Graflex SLR cameras. This was done because mirror coating technology had not yet advanced enough to make a durable front surface coating. To the best of my recollection, the change to front surface occurred in the mid-1930s. You can...

It does, there's the tab on the aperture ring that tells the meter what aperture is selected, and there's a secondary stationary tab that indicates what the maximum aperture of the lens is. Were the maximum aperture not communicated, you would have to do stop down metering. Minimum aperture is...

I'd be interested, in whichever format is more convenient. I assume this film can be handled under red safelight?
