Mamiya C330 Query

Purell is 70% ethyl alcohol with an additional unspecified quantity of isopropyl. So, close enough to 99% alcohol. The rest is gels and perfumes to make it thicker and make it smell nice.

Your post got me to thinking... As mentioned, the lack of an enlarger would be an issue, but another consideration is developing 4x5 negs. How do people do that these days? Back in the day (1970s) I tried tray development once and said never again. I bought three rubber open-top tanks and a bunch of stainless steel sheet film hangers in 4x5 size. Filled the tanks with developer, stop, and fixer, unloaded the film holders into the hangers in the dark, and did the entire development in the dark, using "lift-and-dip" agitation. Worked well enough. Do most people use Jobo rotary processors to develop 4x5 these days?

These days people have a lot of choices. There are Paterson tank inserts, Jobo, Spearman, Combi-Plan etc. An old classic Nikor tank exists but is rare, there's a knockoff of it. But I prefer trays in the dark, with an infrared viewer.

Let me know if you need the repair manual.

I’ve used KEH before and don’t really care for them that much. Their stock on things like a C330 tends to be low and their listings show a stock photo, not photos of the actual camera. So they might have a camera in stock listed as Ex+ condition, but without photos, it’s still a crapshoot.

Another peeve with KEH: for a company selling cameras, the stock photos for their listings are ridiculously low-res.

Usedphotopro.com typically has even fewer listings for cameras I’m interested in than KEH.
