Welcome to Photrio. I also enjoy old folders but use a Zeiss super ikonta 531 to avoid the hassle of respooling. Great cameras.

The developer in my case was Adox Rodinal so it might not be that straightforward that there is a "safe" version. In the past I've used all possible versions of Rodinal without any problem so it is just this one bottle that has died upon me. I will not stop using Rodinal but I will be more...

Thanks for the input and the mystery is solved. A piece of thoroughly exposed film (handled in daylight) was developed and came out completely blank so I think it is safe to say that the developer had ceased to be. I've been using Rodinal for 40+ years and never had this happen to me before but...

Welcome, I hope you don't have to wait too long for your darkroom.

Welcome to Photrio and good luck with your photographic adventures.

Most enlargers work very well and the lens is more important than the enlarger in my experience. That said, you should always check to see that is it complete and in working condition and that it has the features that you need (do you want to work with contrast filters or use a colour head for...

I used this guy with excellent result for my Super Ikonta 531 https://alexvarascameras.com/
