Sirius has obviously fallen for big-photo's conspiracy to get us all to buy their stop baths.
If water is such a great stop bath, why is Kodak, Rollei, Agfa, Luminere, Ilford, ... spend so much money on R&D and production of stop bath? I guess that all of you dilettantes know more than the film experts at those companies. That is good to know when I read your recommendations and suggestions in the future.
Some 30 years or so since the NZ ride makes a little difference! The pedal assist (no throttle) is nice to have, but moving 350 pounds (cargo bike 75lb, me 250lb, 5x7 camera stuff 25lb) still requires leg effort...which is the whole idea behind pedal assist instead of a electric motor scooter. Still working on a way to transport the 11x14 safely....Not a challenge, having pedaled the southern island...hmmm, technology advanced, with some modern electric assistance it would be a joy to haul Jim's ULF mosters around !!
Deep.I often use this effect because I like it when the water stops, it looks like I'm shooting exactly what modern cinema needs
First all the manufacturers "Experts" suggest Stop bath or a Water rinse for film, and straight from developer to fixer in some roller transport processors. So they have done R&D on use of nothing, a water rinse or stop-bath and found no effects on archival permanence or image quality.
Read the film manufacturers data-sheets they are the experts and aren't wrong, and it's either or as far as we are concerned.
Although I time a black & white print in an alkali developer, I may pull it out a few seconds early or a few seconds later depending on the density I am trying to achieve. By putting it in an acidic stop bath I can arrest this image (and my preference) faster than in water. Amen.

No, unlike you I actually read the manufacturer's direction and when I use pyro I use water stop because that is what is directed. Please enjoy your trip over the ledge with all the other lemmings.
Oh no! You're going to wish you hadn't said "... till now"I always use a water stop. Haven't had any problem til now.
OMG LOL!!!!Oh no! You're going to wish you hadn't said "... till now"
you've jinxed yourself.
On my death bed at 100 my son says to me: "Well Dad you had 40 years on Photrio, so what's your abiding memory of it and I say: "Son it's a forum best described by a form of the Corinthian Spirit. On Photrio it was never reaching a conclusion that was important but always the taking part. That's its lifeblood"Maybe we need to figure out how to add a little quiz to be sure anyone thinking of posting in this thread has read the previous 34 pages.
That would make you about 75 years old, right?On my death bed at 100 my son says to me: "Well Dad you had 40 years on Photrio, so what's your abiding memory of it and I say: "Son it's a forum best described by a form of the Corinthian Spirit.
