I have two tanks I can load so sadly could only do tests involving two processes, but would be interested in said results! Also loading two reels into two tanks was already a bit of a struggle in a changing bag, imagine adding a third! I think my next test will be one where I apply rather...

True indeed, I actually love the process of stand development but perhaps Im just lazy.. Sadly I find no evidence of the things I really hoped I would find in it.. Thank you!

Hi all, I have read a lot of conflicting views on Rodinal and stand development. Some say that stand development restricts the development of highlights to enable a narrower tonal range and better contrast, and also that it produces higher acuity and hence perceived sharpness. I decided to run...

Thank you - I made an improvised 645 holder from black card but it doesnt allow me the flatness I'd want with the negative. Perhaps a 6x6 insert & glass and a simpler card insert would do the trick.. I emailed RK photo and they are looking if they have one in their warehouse. Thanks for the...

Thank you, I will have a look!

I recently bought a whole Bronica ETRS system. I love it, and want to provide you with a balanced view on it. Pros: resolution is absolutely noticeably better than 35mm great flexibility in the system and accessories and lenses are readily available for decent prices - though the lenses tend...

I recently bought an Opemus 6 enlarger for a great deal, but have struggled finding a negative carrier/insert for 6x45 format. I know the model has a universal carrier, and ordinary inserts for 645 as well, yet I haven't been able to find one for sale anywhere! Does anyone have any suggestions...

Again, thank you - so the temperature is unlikely to be the culprit. I have emailed Silverprint where I bought the rolls to ask for their insight. In the meantime, if anyone seeing this recognises the issue and knows the cause, I would hugely appreciate if you could share. Olli

Thank you, is this certain? I was planning on emailing the retailer as I bought ten of these rolls and would hate to see the same happen in others. An alternative explanation is the difference in wash temperature which admittedly I did not take very seriously - dev, stop & fix at 20c, wash...

Thank you kind sir! Do you have any links on this though? A quick google of Rollei RPX call back yielded nothing so they clearly havent put anything out on the matter. I'd be interested in seeing what the described white dots look like and whether it is the same effect I had on the attached...

I came here to find answers to an issue of odd white dots on a 120 Rollei RPX100 roll I developed Monday - image attached. The roll was ordered from Silverprint just a week or so ago. I havent seen the original thread where this is covered to identify whether this could be the same issue -...
