I had many private conversations with PE about prewash. I prewash all film except Tri-X 400 when developed with XTOL in a Jobo processor. Both Kodak and Jobo agree with that. Especially when using replenished developer, prewash get rid of the blue dye.

I called them yesterday and said "Why wont you sell me something?" Anyway I got off the phone and found something else to buy from them.

Only if you have a problem or you request it after you receive it. I had a problem with the Hasselblad 500mm C lens jamming and they did a CLA that required removing everything from the tube to get to the shutter and then realigning every element. If Hasselblad had done the CLA the cost would...

One factor alone does not determine a design. Engineering and marketing decisions are based on cost analysis, ability to built, reliability and many other factors which do not including what one eats for breakfast. Monday morning quarterbacking and hindsight are easy decades later.

If your retirement is like mine, you will find that you have never been so busy, but it is doing what you want to do.

Will the real George Mann please stand up, and how would we know if he was telling the truth or lying? Can he spell "credibility"?

Make a copy with Matt substituted for Adrain

Come on Adrian, you are talking common sense and business sense with a healthy dose of logic. You cannot do that on the internet! Stuff like that just destroys conspiracy theories and the anti-Kodak, anti-Fuji, and anti-Ilford crowd who prefer to spew their prejudices and condemn those...

Similar to the Nikon F100. I now have the N75, N80 and F100 and they all get along well and share their lenses freely. The F100 is under appreciated by those who want to use the door to drive nails into boards.

No it is not too late.

For starters, I would have to mix two 1 liter packages so I would have one as started replenished XTOL and one as stock XTOL. I might as well start with 5 liters and store the stock both the replenished XTOL and all the stock XTOL in 1 liter bags [see above].

Thank you for directly showing us what the negatives look like, that saves time and posts. I do not know but I would like to say: Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

While I buy to keep things from the hoarders , I would never have twenty XTOL packs. The most I have ever had of photochemicals is one spare. I would never mix twenty packs of XTOL, they are saver stored as packed until needed. Would you buy a brick of film and immediately load it into the...

That is because the hardener does not harden until fixed and completely dry. Before that the emulsion is still soft.

E*N*J*O*Y!!!!

They do. BTDT.

Absolutely. I mix the five liters and store in in one liter air evacuated containers. That is why I cannot see the advantage of dry developers in a glass jar or a can. Pour out a liter's worth of XTOL by eye? Are you f****g kidding me? That would only increase the cost of the packaging for...

Solution: Get StopLossBagTM from www.StopLossBags.com and then you can seal off with no air the five liters in five one liter bags.

No, not really. That is a bad idea gone very very wrong. Do you really think that the people that do the R&D and production of photochemicals are really so stupid that they did NOT look into that and other ways of packaging? It is really easy to hide behind a computer and Monday morning...

Because quality is valued.

But we can run around like chickens with their heads cut off screaming "We will all be killed", and that is ever so much more fun than waiting for this to work its way out. Besides there is really nothing we can do other than bitch.

Hasselblad prices are still low compared to the new prices but not as low as ten years ago. Also lower than they will be next year.

Sealed in the original packaging. Once the package has been opened, mix and seal in bottles to lock out the air.

Good enough to be used in courts. Good enough to seriously reduce the sales of digital cameras.

Cold snap. Low 52 degrees F, high 73 degrees F.

Nice. Thank you.

Congratulations! I recommend you buy and use one of these before you cut up your sheets and duvet. https://www.freestylephoto.biz/25001-Photoflex-Changing-Room

No, unlike you I actually read the manufacturer's direction and when I use pyro I use water stop because that is what is directed. Please enjoy your trip over the ledge with all the other lemmings.
