Depending on the water LFN or PhotoFlo may not be an option but a requirement. Water is not the same worldwide and there is on one size fits all.

When dealing with streaking from surfactants such as PhotoFlo and LFN one needs to vary from the recommendations to find what is needed to accommodate ones local waters.

I too like the first one better. You show a well developed eye for finding great compositions in nature - kudos.

There is no need to wait or guestimate 20 rolls, just use if following the Kodak instruction and it is good to use for every roll of film on the way up to 20.

XTOL does a great job developing Delta 400 and gives it a bit of a speed boost.

Use XTOL and the speed will be greater than box speed. That way you can quit worrying about loss of film speed.

Hang the film to dry. Draw off the solution on the bottom corners of the film with a paper towel. Then wash hands and dry.

Does it look black when the lights are out?

The blades of an easel should be able to hold the edges down of double weight fiber paper.

With the lights out do you still need sunglasses to keep your retinas from burning with the glow? :angel:

Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

I liked the review that you wrote.

I use a spot meter when I want to know the SLR/SBR.

Why don't you turn up the outdoor heat some more?

Public transportation is great. Having a car can be a problem especially in the French Quarter, so use the trolleys and busses. We took trolleys to the Garden District and walked around for hours. There are many other interesting areas that never got to see. Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

When I was a teenager I went to my father's camera club and I learned a lot from listening to critiques of various photographs. I enjoyed the slide show or print competitions. But after a while I saw that there was a building of competition to win repeatedly by some and it got so bad that I...

5"x7" film is not as easily available. Try carrying around a 5"x7" camera for a day before you begin to think about considering looking in considering looking into buying one.

Replenished XTOL is easy. Adjusting times is a PITA.

I bought my Pacemaker Speed Graphic and Graflex Model D from a retired Graflex and Graphic repairman. They were the best of each from his collection. He passed away over a decade ago. He sent me Word files for focal plane repairs. I have used Steve's Camera in Culver City California for a...

Whenever negative flatness is a problem, which is rare, I use my 4"x5" glass negative carrier. I also use that carrier with the WideLux negatives always, since I do not have a custom negative holder for it.

I never figured out how many rolls were developed using the remaining 4 liters, but it is roughly 57 70ml replenishments. When the last of the one liter bottles was getting low, I just mix another 5 liter batch. Thus I have used the replenished XTOL for well over 100 rolls of film.

The Speed Graphic allows one to choose between a focal plane shutter or a lens [leaf] shutter. That means one can find old shutterless lenses, sometimes very inexpensive, and use them with the focal plane shutter.

I strongly suggest that you start with a 4"x5" Pacemaker Speed Graphic with a top mounted viewfinder which allows you to use it hand held, it is a press camera, and to mount it on a tripod with limited movements. I have found the limited movements more than enough. It and any lenses can be...

I have used replenishment XTOL for over 100 rolls of film and it is still going strong. Follow the 70ml per roll as outlined in the PDF.

Lurk no more .... Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

Replenished XTOL provides a better result than 1:1. The other big savings is cost. I use 1 liter of replenished XTOL and the rest is kept as stock XTOL for replenishment.
