While HP5+ is a good traditional grain film, I prefer Tri-X 400 and only use HP5+ for 4"x5" sheet film because I cannot get Tri-X 400 in sheet film.

The number of people who bulk load film is such a small percentage that is does not even show up at the financial noise level.

Tough life but someone has to live it.

Who was that masked man?

Hypo is fixer. You must mean Hypo Clearing Agent which is not hypo; it is anti-hypo.

Spend some time looking at Kodachrome threads that PE contributed to. PE did R&D on Kodachrome at Kodak and held many patents in R&D film. Coating problems [including more layers], coupling issues, dye problems, critical chemicals are no longer available and there is no companies to bring them...

Frankly if I were you, I would have it printed locally so that you can inspect it and then ship it yourself between sheets of corrugated cardboard or better yet plastic. It might cost a little more but then they are paying for you to send your best work.

ADOX Fotoimpex is donating their time to help us, so how about stopping posting wild speculation and conspiracy theories and letting ADOX spend their time supporting us.

OR YOUR MEMORY IS FADING ....

Kodak always priced bulk film to make it barely practical. Bulk film required special handling that deviated from their mass production and they did not want to deal with it. So they priced it accordingly. The message had always been, bulk film will be made available, but we want you to have...

Be very careful! You are upsetting the Kodachromistas! They believe that there are no downsides to Kodachrome and that using Kodachrome makes their teeth whiter, replaces hair lost in pattern baldness, and removes crow's feet from old photographer's eyes.

That is the colors breaking down and fading. So you are saying you love color images devolving?

We have had rain in Los Angeles, and frankly it is not that big a deal. Rain is not even a deal breaker. What about snow? Ever seen a snowsuit for a Hasselblad? For any camera? OMG we have a new reason to start a thread: HASSELBLAD NEVER MADE SNOWSUITS FOR THEIR CAMERAS!

If you had ever been to Bakersfield you would understand why they are leaving Bakersfield.

Demz fightin' words! Dey is like religions!

K14?

The Central Valley farmers like to waste water. They are pumping out so much ground water that the roads are sinking below the bridges leaving gaps. As Mark Twain said about California, "Whiskey is for drinking. Water is for fighting."

Congratulations! May it go very well for you.

It is like when a child learns a new funny sounding word for the first time, they keep repeating it. Even more often if they think it is a dirty word.

Tempest in a teapot teacup.

I shot both Kodachrome and Ektachrome. You did not miss anything. Ektachrome and Velvia were better.

Today if most of the people in the US were asked, they would not know what Kodachrome was, nor would they know what Kodak means. When people ask me who I worked for in New York and I say Kodak, they say things like "What is Kodak?" or "What does Kodak make?" Just because you love Kodachrome...

Use orange or yellow filters, just do not eat yellow snow.

Any camera can be misused and then have problems. What you stated is not proof, just anecdotal conjecture.

Which eye piece does the camera have.

A wise man carries a Hasselblad with three lenses instead of three Rolleis around his neck. Source of this thread? OP probably had strong onions and tainted garlic for breakfast, but no facts to speak of.

Refix for twice as long and then check. Fix longer if necessary and then properly rinse.

I am serious about photography but I am also serious about not getting seriously ill so other than photos of grandchildren, I will wait until it is safe to go out in the world.

The best that is available today is the Rollei IR 400 in 135 and 120 which I use with R25, R29 or 720 filters.

I use the Jobo processor so constant agitation for 30 seconds with half a liter repeated 11 times so a total of six liters of water, much less than running water for five minutes.
