Thank you. Good intel. Likewise mine is only for developing. I already have one for the enlarger. I only got it because I can barely see the hands on my current little Smith's timer, and also because I think it looks great ;-).

Ha! it came with an instruction manual, so I had managed to figure out how to use it before it fried. Will update on how I get on with the electricians.

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like I've blown the timer. Silly mistake as it is in lovely condition. I know a couple of friendly electricians (one who mends film cameras) and will see what they can do.

Don't know. It's the grey thing at the bottom of the photo.

I bought a lovely looking Gralab 300 from the US. Absolutely mint condition on the outside. I attached a basic adapter for UK mains, and it worked on initial tests, but when I tried it in anger, I noticed that it started slowing down and then after a couple of minutes just stopped, and is now...

Your suggestion did not work as they are not screw holes. Don't know what they are for. But as I could not see anything broken, I figured that it must need a bit of force to get it back in place. So I aligned the 2 fives and took a small hammer to it, and it moved back into position. All...

Correct. Not a good photo, but it is detached from the wheel, and so turning the knob does not spin it. Just cannot push it back together again. Nothing looks broken.

Hope someone can help. Today I broke my wonderful Vario 70. At least after investigation I am certain what the problem is. One of the wheels inside the filter housing seems to have become detached from its spindle. So when I turn the contrast filter knob, only the wheel on the left (showing...

Thanks for your advice - I'll give it a shot. Really angry with myself as I intended to do this today and went out with my 6x7 to shoot some landscapes.... and forgot to take it :).

Thanks for your reply. Well, I will give it another try, and see if I can get used to it. If not, it's going on ebay :-(.

I recently purchased a Chimney Finder for the 6x7, and have found it really hard to get my head round composing with it as moving the camera while looking through the viewfinder is reversed. So much so, I don't want to use it. Any tricks and tips on how best to use it? Thanks

Not talking about the film. The chemistry https://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/p-cinestill-cs41-colour-simplified-quart-kit-for-colour-processing.htm

Because I wasn't paying attention :(. Sorry. If a moderator can redirect it would be much appreciated.

Moving back on topic. Any other suggestions/recommendations for Fuji, Cinestill, Digibase?

It was a year ago, so my memory is a bit foggy on it, but looking at my scans, it looks like I kept getting strange colour casts, pretty much impossible to fix in post. Perfectly happy to accept it could be due to my poor temperature control. I sent a note to Nik & Trick asking what the...
