what if I'm holding my exhausted steel wool for more than a year?

thank you that makes sense, I'll just avoid having the friend use it again because i often develop with more than 1 liter at a time thank you for this answer, really insightful

hi guys. I have a PH meter and was hoping to get advice on silver recovery using the steel wool method. we already have one right now that we pay to have swapped out every year but I'm interested in doing the whole process myself. is anyone here an expert on the matter? if so, any tips on how...

hi all, I let a friend use my chemicals and he dropped a significant amount of fixer in our 5L of id68. I didn't see the amount but it's sat for some days and now there are white flakes floating around. the fixer is ilford rapid fix, I'm going to make a fresh batch, but I'm also curious if...

ty guys

I recently started making post cards on ilford's postcard backed b&w photo paper. I'd LOVE to make color ones but I'm wondering if it would even be possible to find an expired box. did such a product exist in abundance back then? if not (or even if so) does anyone have any idea of good...

ok all you debbie downers - I liked the results from reducing development time by 20% so I probably wont waste time in making my own formula at the moment. but if i live a long life, I'll go against you all and make my own mix of chemicals.

thank you everyone. for those that asked: I'm shooting mostly bwxx (and have hand spooled double xx as well) ortho 80 ilford sometimes tx400 also - yes defiantly too much density judging form the negatives themselves. the goal is to optically print the negatives - but i also want to scan...

hi guys! so I love the results of id68 with my black and white films. but when I shoot at box speed I get wayyyyy too much density on my negatives. wayyy too much contrast. I have been under exposing to try to compensate - but I'd like to know if there's more or less of a chemical I can put in...

legit using this right now, ty so much!!

update, I got the belini kit. I was using the tetenal before and did a comparison (early on, the results are even better now). you can check the link here. I'll try to keep it active forever. but yes it's been a few months and it's amazing. brighter negatives, color bussin' (real really...

thank you! hopefully he has time to respond. is the attached photo the same result you have from google? also I'd also love to know the replenishment for id-68 since I use that quite a lot as well. if you happen to know please lmk - but I haven't googled it yet so it's prob right in my face.

can you send me a link/screenshot of your google search?

does anyone know know how to replenish autophen? I saw on http://www.lostlabours.co.uk/photography/formulae/developers/devPQ-ID11.htm how to make the solutions - but how to use them I can't seem to find/ I know I'm late here but hoping you guys can still help!

hi guys, I''m trying to find this information but don't see it anywhere. does anyone have it?
