A very interesting and even so good book: "The New-York School of Photography" by Jane Linvingston.
It's a magnificent book, well designed and very good printed on different paper stock according the aesthetic and stylistic qualities of each photographer!
Below you see an quotation of the synopsis:
"...The New York School of Photography refers to a loosely defined group of photographers who lived and worked in New York City from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. In this volume, author Jane Livingston, former chief curator of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, defines this seminal episode in American photography by examining sixteen photographers and their influences, subjects, and stylistic earmarks. Included are Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Alexey Brodovitch, Ted Croner, Bruce Davidson, Don Donaghy, Louis Faurer, Robert Frank, Sid Grossman, William Klein, Saul Leiter, Leon Levinstein, Helen Levitt, Lisette Model, David Vestal, and Weegee. Many of these photographers worked for the magazines of the day but stretched the boundaries of their medium in their personal work as street photographers. Their subject was most often New York itself: the random choreography of the city's sidewalks, the crush of bodies on Coney Island's beaches, the glow of street lights, and the glare of Times Square. To some degree they all assimilated or transformed the photographic concerns of Lewis Hine, Walker Evans, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, whose positions set the stage for the emergence of the New York School. Many of them identified with the look and values embodied in film noir. In The New York School, each photographer's work is represented in a portfolio of approximately twelve images printed on one of four kinds of paper; varying shades and tones among the portfolios are achieved by the use of different duotone inks. Through an electrifying selection of both classic and rediscovered photographs and an irresistibly engaging text full of quotes from the photographers themselves, Jane Livingston shows the distinctive stylistic nature, of this newly understood group..."

Upper range of B&W developing temps?

I wouldn't go above about 100F/38C with most B&W films. The developers can take more than the gelatin can (IIRC, D-76 at least used to call for 125F for mixing, implying that temp won't harm the developer).

Today, these arrived:

 

[jay moussy]

A 620 spool, attached to a Brownie Hawkeye!

I just realized that the Brownie could do the first half of the job of respooling, then finish 620-to- 620 by hand.

 

[mrtoml]

Bronica ETRS with 75mm lens, metered prism, 120 back and speed grip.

 

[Donald Qualls]

A 620 spool, attached to a Brownie Hawkeye!

I just realized that the Brownie could do the first half of the job of respooling, then finish 620-to- 620 by hand.

You, uh, do know the Brownie Hawkeye is a pretty decent box camera in its own right, don't you?

I do... this is my second one!
There something wholesome about the simple design.

 

[Donald Qualls]

I've got two as well -- one that had a chipped light trap edge on the removable film cover, which I repaired with JB Weld. Simple, reliable. Tempting to get a flash for one just to have the pin and screw connector for a hot shoe attachment...
