G'day all. I have been on my Tassie trip, I ultimately decided not to bring along any of those suspected nitrate films and brought along only films labeled "safety film" and had no troubles taking them on the flight. I got a reply from Virgin Australia on my nitrate film on plane question and...

Thanks for clearing that up, didn't know that was how you interpreted my question. Anyways in general I am an amateur vintage film photographer and I've shot loads of rolls of film from the 30s and 40s and a film pack that expired in 1913...

APUGuser19 I don't appreciate being talked to like that. It never hurts to ask questions no matter how stupid they sound and the responses to my question have been mixed, some saying definite "NO" and some stating "MAYBE BUT ASK" backed with their information I feel compelled to ask the airlines...

I have now sent an email enquiry to Virgin Australia airlines about nitrate films and will find out what they say.

Okay after reading everyone's replies, I have decided I ain't taking those films with me, will reserve them for photographing local heritage buildings. I will take only film that says "Safety Film" on them.

G'day all. I shoot vintage film as a hobby and have shot over a dozen B&W films of the 1930s and 40s. Anyways I am going down to Tasmania in a few days and plan to capture some vintage 19th century heritage buildings on some 1930s 116 films, the problem is though I am not sure if they are...

Thanks for the tips, will see how the developers look once I mix them. The film being soft certainly explains why I was getting a clear base.

Thanks for the advice. I have already exposed that particular film about a month ago so too late to do an exposure test with it, I am pretty sure I've exposed it okay as I've shot many 50s films with calculated overexposure based off their ASA rating and have got consistent good results. Anyhow...

It's a reversal kit.

G'day all. I have a few rolls of Ansco Color Positive films from the 40s and 50s and have shot a 120 roll from 1955 about a month ago. I have been cutting samples and attempted cross processing in C-41 but got clear base. However I then saw on Ebay an old unopened Ansco Color developing kit...

A bit of an update on my 1913 Premo film, I came to realization my fixer was pretty much shot as I was noticing my negatives lately were looking quite dense after fixing so I decided to mix some new fixer and refix my dense films including those two exposures from the film pack and the films now...

Well that's why I though I'd asked in this forum this question before using or chucking it, and I thought because there's blix which is bleach and fixer mixed together perhaps it would work okay together for colour film. I admit I'm an amateur and not had years of experience and fully know and...

Thanks for the info, shame about that as I only recently mixed it but good thing I have recently acquired another big bottle of fixer from someone clearing out his darkroom stock. Anyways I happen to have a potassium metabisulphite clearing bath mixed 25g to 1L of water, would that work just the...

G'day all. I've recently shot and developed a 60s colour film using the colour developer from my C-41 kit and then chrome alum hardener and ferricyanide bleach and then Ilford Rapid Fixer as I've been getting better looking results than that of blixing. Whilst I got what I call good results, I...

I have no idea of its storage condition as I bought it off Ebay only recently and nothing is said in the description except I think it was stored in a cupboard judging by the English translation as I bought it from a French Ebayer.
