From my understanding most people use rotary processing (JOBO) and the chemistry is one-shot, meaning you discard it after using on a single print. The idea is that the small amount of chemistry will slosh around and cover the print as the development drum is rotated.

The Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 AF was one of my favorite lenses for a while, but ended up replacing it with the Zeiss 21mm like listed here because it felt sharper at the edges wide open.

Please excuse my ignorance here, does this flex cable affect the shutter button at the top of the camera?

I'm sure it is well known that the Konica Big Mini line has a common shutter button failure. Pretty much all of the discussion on the internet revolves around the fact that it has to be replaced, but no reports of successful repairs or part number used. I did see a single comment saying that a...

I had one and ended up giving it away. In concept, it is a solid tool. My complains were: The bottle holders are very flimsy and didn't stop my half-full bottles from floating. And they only work with the accordion style bottles. The clamp was very rigid and required that the wall of whatever...

What a great write-up. Thank you for putting it together. Why do you use a loupe in combination with a macro lens when scanning the negatives?

There is a gentleman selling cut Maxima that ships to the US here on photrio https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/ra-4-cut-sheets-fuji-maxima-velvet-and-so-on.207659/

Ordered a received some Fuji Maxima. So carefully cut and packed! Thank you so much!

Purchased some boxes. The real deal. Came in original shrink wrap too! Thank you!

If the labels on the bottles are to be believed, this particular batch was also manufactured in Belgium from chemistry from Italy, Netherlands, China. I wonder how much difference there is between the stuff we get in North America vs rest of the world.

Posting this here as a reference on what/how much to order if you are looking for RA-4 chemistry. I had a really difficult time getting this information from anyone so I hope it helps someone else looking to get RA-4 chemistry. This used to be called Fuij Hunt CP-RA. That does not appear the...

There is a gentleman in Germany that adapts Instax square cameras to fit onto the RZ and RB line. https://zins.tax/ They work fairly well. Takes a few months to get to your order though. Quality wise the execution feels nice. The internal mechanism is not very durable, I've had two of these...

If you have shot and developed this film? What is the closest film you would compare it to? I'm not knowledgeable enough to be able to read the spectral graphs. I usually do a comparison between my current film stocks every year by shooting the same scene.

I made a Christmas present to myself and ordered a used JOBO CPE3 which should let me do up to 11x14 in a tube. That and adding a much needed DIY exhaust system to my small darkroom. Maybe I should post that in the darkroom show-off thread.

That makes sense. I've been slowly gathering color stuff on eBay while using the darkroom at the art museum. Right now my darkroom is set up for basic silver gelatin prints. I have a Beseler 67CS that I've frankensteined together from printmaker 35, leftover of a 23 III and a 67C (I think)...
