I turned a small room into a darkroom in my apartment. I covered the widows with black out film and the have blackout curtains. The door has a blackout curtain rod with a blackout curtain. Now the room is complete void of light as long as I turn of my computer and printers. In the summer it...

Thank you! I don't have the meter for it. I did find it on youtube, but the person who made the video didn't know what it was for either.

I work in a public school. In April I am my 1st and 2nd graders will be taking pictures with them. I am using paper that was given to me without the original box. Before I let my students use the cameras, I need to figure out what ISO the paper is. I believe it may be Kodak or Ilford. I know...

I have several cameras that I inherited from my uncle: Yashica 120 Mamiya 120 Professional f Canon AE1 Canon EOS 620 Canon EOS 650 They came with accessories: different lens, extension rings, lens filters, flashes, and more. I don't know what accessory goes with what camera or how to use...

I was able to fix the camera. I seems that with the 620/630 the backlight drains the battery and it won't turn on with fresh batteries. You have to cut the black and white wire under the mount. When you do it should work. While I was removing parts a part fell out. I did not notice it...

My uncle was an avid photographer and when he passed18 years ago, I received all his camera equipment. I have his Canon EOS 620 and it worked fine until recently. I when to load it and it would not turn on. I put in fresh batteries and it still won't turn on. I don't have the funds to send...

Thank you for your assistance. When I developed the film, I found that it was Ilford HP5 Plus ISO 400.

Thank you! It is Ilford HP5 plus ISO 400.

Thank you! It is Ilford HP5 plus ISO 400.

Thank you! It is Ilford HP5 plus ISO 400.

So I used my Canon EOS 620 to take photos at ISO 100, 200, 400 on automatic with the same scene. I just finished developing the film as ISO 400 with Arista chemicals and I have images! So I believe it is B&H. Now how do I determine the ISO of the film?

I received an Alden 74 daylight bulk film loader with film in it. What steps do I take to find out if the film is color or B&W? If is it B&W what are the steps to figure out the ISO? I can develop B&W film in only.

In clean out a darkroom at schools that no longer teach analog photography, I found lots of paper of different sizes and most of it in only the black bag. I have used some of it. Some prints dried flat while others curled. In my research, I believe RC paper is best for my students. How can it...

All the B&W chemicals I received were purchased around that time. The paper developer, fixer and photographic paper worked just fine. I am going to test the developer on some new film and see what happens. If it is in working condition, I am going to use it.

Thanks everyone. The paper developer and hypam worked wonderfully after 12 years or more. The paper was in great shape as well. There was some crust around the paper developer, but it was good. I am going to test the Ifosol S on some bulk film I have here that is old too. I will let you know.
