hi guys
Did anyone go to the show. Get anything good [film accessories].
I picked up 40 rolls of plus-x at $3 a roll. exp 2006 . I bought 20
rolls awhile ago , it's the same batch .I didn't know if it would be
good, I don't think it was refrigerated . I did dev. 2 rolls and it came
out quite nice. Should I freeze or refrigerate or does it really matter
at this point? . I also picked up a back and insert for my mamiya
645 super., and a few books [aperture history of photography series]
Only 5. I don't know how many are in the set, but it's a start.
I thought I would write something since this forum seems to have
died off. Oh I also picked up 8 old photographs at some garage sales.
One other thing i bought a Seneca competitor view camera 5x7 the
lens is a seneca duo dust proof. Really nice camera , 3 wood film holders
with the name Victor H. Young written on them. I think it was made around
1908 from what I read on the Seneca web site. I would also like to know more
about Victor but I couldn't find anything on the net. I don't know if the camera
even came from around the Hamilton area ? I bought this with the thought of
doing wet plate. Have to get a darkroom set up first , hoping this winter.
Does anybody do wet plate in this area? Maybe take on a student ? I would
really like to give it a try before buying stuff that I don't need.
Well Iv'e rambled on long enough .
Later
