That is such a good question, and one I think about all the time. I plan to make an album of very small prints that I will leave to my siblings and their children, I will have to make duplicates of those. Also I have just bought some M Disks which are supposed to be an archival type of blu-ray...

Thank you for this, I will watch the video!

thank you for the reply and no, I won't throw it away!

Hello, I have two tin cans of Kodak Microdol-X Pro powder which I bought in the late 1990s from Prophot in Paris, made in France. I strongly suspect that even though sealed for all this time, the metol will have lost its power by now. However, I am always interested to know what other people...

Did you ever get the problem with bromide drag/streaking with divided developers? I tried Tetenal Emofin, and Divided D-76 and Diafine and all of them gave bromide drag after the first use, this was for 35mm Tri-X. I gave up with divided devs after that! I don't doubt for a moment that Salgado's...

I think the ATM 49 relates to the period he switched to medium format for the Genesis project before he switched to digital.

Thank you to those who replied to my last thread, and as a result of that, I mixed up D-76d from raw chemistry and developed Tri-X with it, and I am going to try D-23 next. I haven't printed them yet, but the negs look good. This new post is on a similar theme and for anyone who has seen...

The figure of 8 rotation method is important with tank developing. and I'm beginning to think X-ray damage possibly. I wonder whether if you order film online, it is being put through a X-ray machine? what a mystery you have to solve!

Thanks, I was thinking of doing just that. I have tried D-76d in the form of 'Fomadon-p', I bought four packets, twice I have had quite bad underdevelopment from them so I want to mix it up myself, I have the formula.

Thanks, I don't know why I got the idea about it being a PQ, that is weird. I swear I saw it once on the back of a packet of the stuff, a long time ago, perhaps I was hallucinating.

Comparing the packaged D-76 made by Kodak and mixing up the original formula from raw chemistry by ones self, is there a significant difference in developing times with films like Tri-X? Something on the internet says that at some point Kodak replaced the Borax with Kodalk in the packaged...
