It’s not medium format and it’s not a solution here but I do really value the data printing my F6 does between frames sometimes. I think the Contax 645 does the same, so a nice cheap option for you if you want it in medium format.

I’ll do you one better than heard, I’ve held and tried them. 3D printed for sure but done very well and to tight tolerances. Steve, the guy who makes them all, is very responsive and pretty quick at implementing updates or new ideas into them. They’re not as sturdy as say an actual mamiya press...

I broke my bicycle a couple of years ago returning so many books that it fell over and bent the rear wheel. Lesson learned, balance the books in two panniers rather than try to fit them all in one…

For once I feel like I have a relevant position to add things from. I did a photography MA from 2020 to 2022 (yes the pandemic really helped there) and I have mixed feelings about them. I studied in the UK so it’s probably not completely analogous to the US system but the main taught portion of...

Hello I have a few questions about these. Are you the original owner of all the packs and could you add the expiration date of them? Lastly is the Polaroid Pro 100 colour or black & white? Thank you.

Fomadon R09. Maybe 1/10th of a bottle left at the end, lots of crystals and the colour of pee after a hard night out. Don’t remember where I bought it now, it was a few years back but probably process supplies in Clerkenwell or Parallax in Brixton (London).

It has happened to me. Rodinal keeps well but it’s not immortal. As with any developer try and store it without oxygen and suspect any bottle that’s almost empty.

I added ⅔ of a stop for bellows on the Sinar and an extra stop for the IR shot for reciprocity failure compensation, though that was included now that I think about it, so it was +7 for the filter and +1 on top of that to compensate.

And here are the scans of the two that interest me, the no filter 25 & R72 (which was 8 seconds and had the wind start on me just as I hit the shutter):

Well, a month later and 8 sheets down I’ve had very mixed results with this stuff. First off it looks like it was well stored, fog is minimal and sheets shot without a filter and with a red 25 came out looking pretty good. A few of the outer sheets have some marks on them and I assume that’s...

I guess I’ll part expose a sheet or two at different times and see what works best with the film age and filter combinations. It would be nice to get results with the 87. Will report back when (if?) I have something to show for it.

I was planning on using xtol (xt-3 at least, easier to get here) at 1:1 which is my usual developer for basically everything. Not sure how my stuff was stored but I suspect it was frozen and the result of a house clearance. Other things from the same batch came out pretty well considering the...

Lately I managed to come into a 5x4 box of Kodak EIR & Efke 820. I have a glass R72 & a slightly manhandled polyester Lee 87 filter (the result of an experiment with trying to make an infrared flash, slightly underestimated the output of my Metz head and slightly burnt the shape of it into the...

Would you be willing to post to the UK and if so, what would postage be? Thank you.

I would second the rinse advice, I got very uneven development without doing one in a 2509n.
