@Donald Qualls Many thanks for the tips etc. I'll pass this to her and hopefully soon I'll get some to test myself. Cheers

Hi Donald, I must have skipped over this comment!. It's a really good idea, but where would you suggest I start exposure wise. With no information available on the film, I have no idea what it's original speed was, it's age or even what developer to use and processing times and temperatures. Do...

I have no idea of how fogged the film will be and no idea of age!.. Any suggestion what developer to use?. also developing time!.

Hi, A friend of mine has bought a cannister of what is assumed to be Aerographic film, but neither of us can find any information on it!. With a test of fixing the film only, it has a pink film base. Perforations are along one edge only!. Any help or pointers will be more that...

Joachim Hopefully Joachim you are doing well with the 35mm 2383. Your a good teacher and I've almost got there. Shown is 500T contact printed to 35mm 2383 with 80Y + 5M filter pack setting.

I've not touched the pivot points yet, but will clean and lube them lightly as you suggest.. Cheers

Hi Brian, Many thanks for your reply. I see how it works now!. So that short tab moves the lever. I had a little play at adjusting the spring tension, but not much luck. Maybe the spring needs replacing.

I've been restoring an old Midg falling plate camera that takes 1/4 size plates plates but have an issue with the shutter. The shutter seems to be firing at one speed rather than 25th,50th and 100th. I'd really like to get the shutter firing at all speeds. Does anyone have any knowledge of these...

Yes, I understand that I must look at the basics and i am doing that, but the scanner I had was no good, I realised my scans were of no use and frustrating for appraisal use. I sold some of my old film and stuff to buy a good scanner, something i should have done a long ime ago. But, I have...

I've ordered the Epson V550 scanner as it does 120 film as well as 35mm. we wait and see how good it is. In the hope that i can show better scans that can be better understood. I sent some of the old scans to a guy in taiwan, I had fixed them in PS, he thinks the colour is OK considering the Lo...

I agree with you, the scanner is very lo-fi. Also the negative's do not lay flat in the holder, plus the frames are cropped :(. But I now realise the difference betweeen a scanner and what i have which is in effect just a simple lightbox with a 5mp camera. I have beeen looking at different...

The Fridge is on loan from a neighbour :). I take on board your comments about the Dev ect. It is usefull to know and of help. the experiments with the old film stocks and old ish chemicals is just something to do. but i have fresh film and chemicals, inc the homemade stuff that i try to get...

George, I have a seperate fridge in the shed for film and chemicals. (see pic) The wife would cut something off me in my sleeep if I put my photo stuff in the kitchen fridge. Please can you advise me of a good scanner I can buy for under £100. This the one I am using at the moment. It the FFS...

OMG! How can I be so dumb :(. Its embarrasing! and frustrating. I've been doing it wrong for over a year since I bought my first filter. 100's of hours wasted with the Tungsten films in daylight. I have to start all over again. Its likely I am doing something wrong with the homebrew too, i just...
