I just purchased a LiCi ColorStar 6000 analyzer, but it didn't come with a complete user manual. I'm currently trying to figure it out on my own, but it would be absolutely fantastic if anyone out there happens to have the manual and would be willing to share it!

I recently discovered that a section of the film I developed, which was outside the film bag and not enclosed within it, was emitting a shiny silver reflection. The part inside the film bag was perfectly fine. I would like to know what caused this silver reflection.

I have a GR1 film camera that had its ribbon cable replaced at a repair shop. I bought it secondhand, and after using it for a while, I discovered a problem. Occasionally, when I press the power button, the lens won't pop out. When I reinstall the battery, the mechanism makes three quiet...

I think PET bases their shape better at higher temperatures. I hang them in a drying cabinet at 60°C for 10-15 minutes with heavy clips in film end. The amount of curling after drying doesn't bother me.

I have contacted them....they said they no longer have it.😭

Now it sells for about 59RMB (~8.2USD), The official channel says it includes basic developing and scanning costs (about 13RMB (~2USD) Yes, in China, film processing services are generally very cheap). But the quality often leaves something to be desired. My point is that if it sells the film...

I have this color wheel because I still have a Philips PCS 2000 additive color enlarger in my darkroom and I need to remind myself of the additive/subtractive color process. Yes, I blew it up to 8x10" and it's hard to see the emulsion spots without looking closely. But it's definitely in the...

Due to insufficient production capacity and supply, I was very "lucky" to get a roll of the newly released Lucky Color Film. Now, I'm sharing some of the photos I took, hoping to see what everyone thinks. I only work in the darkroom, so I don't scan the negative film. These photos were enlarged...

Many photographer friends told me that the new ESTAR Portra will have some changes in color. I don’t know if this is true or just a psychological illusion. The Portra in my fridge is not finished yet, I will buy a new to try later.

Yes....but I happen to have a Palm VII and I want use standalone device to use as a photography tool. My iPhone is too unreliable, overheating on hot summer days and running out of battery on long shoots. The Palm only needs two AAA battery and can run for up to a week or more. It's as reliable...

I recently started using BTZS Plotter to assist my photography. Out of curiosity, I wanted to try Palm ExpoDev. But I couldn't find it on the Internet. (I know that ExpoDev needs to be paid for, and I buy the same for Plotter. But Palm has been out of date for many years, and I wonder if...

I have an ESECO TR90 densitometer. It can be zeroed without film, then calibrated at about 3.0D and the reference density entered, it does not have a manual slope setting. You mentioned using ND filters for calibration, which is indeed an idea, but I think even very high-quality ND filters will...

I recently bought a color densitometer, but it does not come with a transmission calibration strip. I am looking for a transmission calibration strip with color reference data like the Xrite 810-88. I tried using a Stouffer for bw density calibration, but there is no color density reference...

I believe it is ENDURA, its emulsion color is brownish yellow, not the pink of Royal/Premier Digital paper. It's not even as good as the stored in my house for 5 years ENDURA paper.

The discontinuation of ENDURA is a sad thing. That paper it's so good. When I saw it was still in stock on miamidigital, and it was good value for money! I bought it, but until I received it, I found serious problems. Its base fog is too high, even worse than my ENDURA Exp.2020/07 stored at...
