Thank you very much. So Tetrasodium EDTA = "Calgon". I wasn't aware of that. I remember Calgon on some recipes too. Oh, i thought the MSDS often indicated all or most ingredients...

Yes.

Yes. As pointed out, the F3 screen has an acrylic screen and a glass lens, the ones on the FE/FM series are only a piece of acrylic. I had the F3 with the non-HP finder, then the one with the HP finder and also the rather rare F3P camera which has a titanium HP finder with hotshoe. I...

Ok, thanks for the clarification, now it makes sense. Although i thought the cassette caps thing was just marketing.

Which is your favorite lens? I had almost all FLs and mine was the 65mm lens.

75 or 90mm, no longer than that.

180mm is an excellent focal length for portraits (faces etc) on 6x7, go for it! I had the Mamiya 180/4.5C for the old RB67 and it was a stunner. The first shot you posted is more close to the angle of view of the 65mm lens. 65mm is a great general-purpose wideangle. 75mm will be good, too, more...

Sounds like mirror mechanism frozen because of lack of lubrication. A complete disassembly and CLA is needed. Power is not reaching the circuits. This is most likely an electrical problem. Check out the battery contacts for corrosion, then most likely the wires around will need to be...

Hallo, As mentioned, first you need to make sure the dark slide is off. Then, you should try moving the multiple exposure lever to the multiple-exposure position and then advance the film to cock the shutter. It should fire. If it does not, then there's a problem with the camera, not...

You made me check the MSDS too, it says 25% Tetrasodium EDTA... hmmm Very interesting.

Yes, me too, he had the generosity to share his precious time with us in PMs!

Thanks, this is great info. Now i need to get that sulfite when my "tetenal lavaquick" is gone.

This goes contrary to exactly what has happened during the last two? three? five years... Demand for C41 still film has skyrocketed, you can check out Henning Serger posts in the last years commenting that demand is far exceeding supply right now. You can see how popular color negative film is...

Well, then Andrew/Andy church is wrong, then: Companies that make color still film: - Kodak - Fuji (Provia, Velvia, etc, and the fuji-made C41 film that is still sold in europe and japan) - Adox (Color Mission 200 and its custom films for lomography) - and probably, very, soon, Orwo.

But now, thanks to 220, you don't need to tape two 120 rolls together. Convenience!! Have a pleasant experience developing your films! Zeiss lenses + 220 film = Heaven!! BUY NOW!!

I just want to say that I still miss PE here. What a kind person.

This is an example from Gary Reese's test. He uses subjective quality grades, using the same film, same subject,and projecting his slides. Canon FD 135mm f/3.5 Pre-S.C. breech Canon F-1 w/ mirror and diaphragm prefire Vignetting: A- @ f/3.5, A thereafter Distortion: slight pincushion Aperture...

Sometimes it doesn't cost more than double. See Shanghai GP3 for example. Here at my local lab it doesn't cost more than double to process (this would make no sense). They charge me 2x the 120 roll cost. And if you process your own film, not only it's the same cost as a 120 roll, but also you...

Sodium sulfite removes hypo? I thought sodium sulphite only removed silver halides from the emulsion. Thus its use on fine grain developers.

did you rate the film at 200?

This would only be true if he refers to movie film. And Orwo is about to disrupt that this year.

That would be fake news. ColorPlus is selling like hot cakes.

Matt, i was trolling you, as per your previous post. Now, going into "serious mode", yes, this makes sense. HOWEVER, Eastman 35mm movie film is packaged in 'bulk', often in 400ft, with two possible core types. I assume this is an automated operation as well. For example: KODAK VISION3 250D...

I see! I wonder if some household item would work as a hypo clear, like for example common salt.

Spiral tank processing method For minimal water usage the following method is well tested; • After fixing, fill the spiral tank with water at the same temperature, +/- 5ºC (9ºF), as the processing solutions. Invert the tank 5 times. • Drain the water away and refill. Invert the tank 10 times. •...

I always wanted to know which substances can be used for hypo clearing. I use Tetenal Lavaquick, but it only says it reduces wash times in 50%.

Sorry, what's the "ilford wash method"??

Indeed. But this is useful: it makes the negative easier to scan and/or easier to print. EDIT; On the other hand, a film like HP5 has many layers of different speeds. I GUESS the highest-speed layer is what gives the film's "long toe" and when you're pushing, you're taking advantage of that...

If things turn out OK, most likely Adox and ORWO will issue color cinema film, too, the latter, pretty soon (they say July)

Why is Kodak bulk film so expensive?
