And... He reassembled my GX617 300mm lens after my lame attempt to open it up to clean it.

That's very cool. I coated paper once. Got a few bubbles, paper worked fine. I figured with my time that paper cost me about 100 bucks/ 8x10 .
Again Very Cool!

so are you saying it cost $100 in materials? or that you are worth $100 an hour? I cant think of anything that would set the cost that high unless you were using uranium or platinum

My time . And that was 30 plus years ago. I still have reagent grade silver nitrate, I paid 80 USD a pound for Eastman silver nitrate (that was a commercial account price 24 1 lb bottles at a time).
I should have bought Palladium when it was 60 dollars an ounce, my friend did. I gave away my uranium salts, not a healthy toner.
I made a batch of silver nitrate a couple years ago, nitric acid, fumes will kill you, don't breathe.
If I run out of gold chloride I will make more. I love gold chloride.
Adox makes lovely silver chloride paper.

Platinum is cheaper than dirt now.

Whoa awesome. Thanks for the heads-up. A nice end to a dreary day of meetings and emulsion-making here around midnight .

Kudos to Thomas Ochs as well. He has been a steadfast supporter of my endeavors, selling dry plates in the Old World.
