    Which nightvision googles for darkroom work?

    Regarding the Nightfox goggles I reached out to them to ask about the Swift and got this reply from them a few months back. My use-case is for when loading the Filmomat reel for super 8 as you can easily mess it up without noticing before its too late. I have not ordered the googles yet but...

    Looking forward to see how this turns out. I would be first in line to buy a kit :-) I just bought the plans for the Cameradactyl Prosesor yesterday, but I was a little fast on the trigger and I had misstaken it to be able to do 8X10 paper

    Using vacuum sealer for photo chems

    Thank you for the Tip! I get that the chamber vacuum would be overkill since the machine is expensive but I already have the machine and plenty of bags so why not? šŸ˜„ Then IĀ“ll get more milage out of it. I originally bought for a big food project but have not used it since.

    That is the beauty of a chamber vacuum machine. It sucks out all the air of a chamber while the bag is in it. Seals it and then opens the valves. Looks like magic, and I dont know how it really works šŸ˜„ IĀ“ll make a video of it if you like to see!

    Using vacuum sealer for photo chems

    I have a chamber vacuum sealer so I figured I would mix up the 5L Fujihunt C-41 kit and then vacuum doses of 500ML in bags. Anyone tried that and had good experience with extending the shelf life of the mixed solution? Today I just reuse / dump back in the whole batch and works fine, but I dont...
