In practice, my experience is that I typically just Phenidone is typically 1/10th the amount of Metol. See this thread for more discussion: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/phenidone-substitution.59658/

Realizing I have too much good stuff... am going to also part with my 210mm F5.6 Symmar-S lens. 14 253 881 is the SN, made around August 1986 and near it’s 34th birthday as a very sharp professional lens for a 4x5 camera. Includes two excellent condition OEM Schneider lens caps and proper jam...

All sold in less than 24 hours. Thanks to everyone out there who keeps this site a solid an alternative to other ways to sell gear.

I have 5 gently used Hewes 35mm reels that I won't ever need. Many consider these the best that money can buy due to the thicker wire used in the construction. Last a lifetime... none have ever been dropped. Like new US $20 each - Paypal + actual shipping, I can ship these anywhere in the...

Hi Eli, are you looking for a Vivitar SL-2 Slave? I have one here.

Christine, I have seen that effect before. So... at what point in your processing workflow do the spots appear?

Welcome to the brave world of home dark rooms. Gabe if you are going to just print with RC for now, look for a used Kodak Tray Siphon on eBay. They are typically around $35 used. When you start doing fiber based printing you can commit to wash aids and splurge for a archival washer if you...

At one time it was convenient for me to do the same thing, I made D-23 for film and the Dr. Beers 2 bath paper developer before PF started selling it. Now a days, besides Dektol, I find the 5 Liter Ilford Multigrade liquid developer works well with the Ilford MG papers and in concentrate, lasts...

Dan, thanks for allowing us to live through the evolution of your spaces. You certainly have an esoteric group of tools, I have gear-envy for lots of your items. Looking around in the above image, I recognize two of Fred Picker's prints from the Print Club days on your wall. I also keep one...

It did, thanks for the knowledge. I came away with one keeper negative on this, I will post it when I make a print of it.

A few days ago, I processed the film and the results were in the range of expected density but not calibrated yet for my processes. I used it straight, and will be using that method.

I opened an analog photo time capsule today for certain. A few years ago I helped a friend sell off his father's photographic gear and darkroom items. There were old packages of paper and chemicals and a bunch of cans of vintage Dust Off from the Freon days... anyhow this little canister of...
