After some neg. I was offered the following: Beseler 45MCR Cold Head Both a 90mm and 80mm lens Several (3) Neg carriers for 35mm, 6x6 and 4x5 2 eseals For $225 Good? Also, if you have time, could you please point me to some links so I may learn about the difference between a cold...

Nathan, are you saying try the Pan at 1000-1200 in Diafine or Tri-x TX? Both? I have define waiting so maybe.... Anyway, I just developed the Pan and from what I see, ugly. I was pretty sure this was over 10 years expired. It's in the cabinet now but doesn't look good. But now that I know of...

pgomena, I'm sorry, but your saying go ahead and Pull this in dev now at 200? Thank you

I've already exposed at 400.... So, here it is... I found this, don't know when it exp. I don't mind. But I've never shot with it before this and during all my web hunting the examples I'm seeing are blowing me away. See, I LOVE contrast. I really dig the seperation of tones as far as they will...

Thank you much!!! I'll be using a cold head as well so I'll follow your lead. Can you please tell me where I can study the differences between a cold light and condenser to know how to better develop neg's? I pick up my beseler 45 on Wed. Thank you. Tom

Hi everyone. Came across an old roll of the Tri-x pan 400 and don't have any chem stats for it nor can't find any in the charts. Any suggestions please? Thank you.

Hummm let me think Jim, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, I'm excited for that for sure.

Hi John, yup, that's just it. My idea is to have a stamp made with black fields that I fill in and then sign. EVERYONE: If you can get ahold of the BBC series mentioned above. It's truly amazing. It's also this month on the Dish and DirecTV networks.

Wow Keith, that would be just wonderful. Really. Thank you so much for such kindness.

This may be the time for me to rent a Large View camera if I can find one. I'm excited to see and meet everyone and again, thank you so much for doing this. I'm excited also to see your dark room as I'm building my own right now. Just picked up an amazing Film drying cabinet and a Zone VI print...

Hi bob and thank you very much. Well, I'm going to hunt a bit. It erks me a bit when people make copies and sell them on ebay. Maybe I'm just a old fud, but does not feel right, almost like copyright infridgement. Thank you again.

I was about to have a stamp ordered and made for the back of my prints, as I make them. Now, after watching an epsoide from the most awesome BBC series "The Genius of Photography (ep 06) it shows that the price of a print increases dramaticaly with the less of a time gap between the...

Good day. I recently was lucky enuf' to pick up a Omega Arkay CD-40 film drying cabinet but I've never used one and there is no manual. I've looked everywhere. I understand Omega sold out but still I cannot find any direction and of course don't want to damage my negs. Can someone please...

P.S. The photographer was David Gahr http://singout.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/folk-photographer-david-gahr-passes/

Also, I saw a crazy amazing enlarger there. I asked about it and he said "You won't be interested in that, I'll be giving it away at $3000" I'm peeved I didn't ask what it was. I guess I still can. Also, the darkroom sink was amazing. It was an old style wooden one with resin finish. Wow. I'm...

John, I hear ya, I love doing everything with our rescue, Sammy. Thank you.

Picked up the mint "new" (Dont' think it was ever used) film dryer cabinet today from a estate sale for $165 and a 12 slot print washer (Zone VI) for $125,both mint and the print washer was still in the box never used. They sell at b and h for $1000 for the cabinet (Arkay 40 CD) and $679 for...

glarsson, even if I improve my dust removal a little bit it's big for me as I would hate studying, shooting, developing etc., only the have a small issue with the final product if there is even a little something I can do to avoid it.

P.S. This is the ARKAY Film Drying Cabinet that B&H presently has for $979 but with all the extras as well i.e., rods etc., for turn-key operation.

Is this place not the best or what? Thank you so much for helping here. I really can't tell you how much I appriciate it. Now, what I did not mention is that I have to put any such device in my finished garage however I will not have constant heating, I will once I'm done with it but a device...

All good points thus far, thank you. Presently I've been using my bathroom after running the shower's hot water and I still get junk on it. It's my biggest "bummer" since coming back to film some months ago and it really takes the fun out of it. But I love film and will do most anything to...

I'm about to purchase one at a price of $165 for a 6' tall filtered cabinet. Does this make a huge difference when drying as far as keeping down the dust etc? Thank you for any responses. T

Sjixxxy, that's just what I do, I can learn from everyone. Thanks

Phototone is bang on, Wally mart's prints are way, way off. Do you have a scanner? This would give you a much better indication of what's going on. You may want to invest in a film scanner but also you can take your roll to Target, choose "PROCESS ONLY / NEXT DAY" for .99 and get a disc of your...

Here you go, easy pezzy... http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php

This is where being poor really pays off. I have to sell something most times in order to make a new purchase. My last such was getting rid of all my 3 months old di*(il Nikon D700 equipment for a leica M6 and glass. In my case it worked out for the better as I took my passion up about 3...

I can tell you that first, the 645 Mamiya lenses are wonderful, secondly, they are all now very, very inexpensive. I'm not sure why but that's the market right now. Again, Mamiya is just wonderful glass. Please think about one of their finest lenses, the 120 f/4 marco. This is one that will cost...

Thank you to each of you but could someone please walk me thru an example of doing this? It's becoming a bit confusing. Here's what I've got thus far, if indeed I'm correct.... The meter in my Leica M6 is designed for zone V, so if that is in fact a netural gray, why would I not meter off of...

Guys, thanks you so much. I'll print out tomorrow and have fun learning. This has been a big help. Very best to you both.
