I scored a Graylab timer, Durst M600, darkroom sundries and Kodak's publication K-13 on photolab design for $25. I gave her an extra $10 cause there was more. Craigslist.

Just decided that I'm not taking my F3 on vacation with me, only my 6x9 folder, tripod and cable release.

So I ordered 2 more "pro-packs" of acros and one more tx-400.
I already know how to develop these films in 120 for the way I print.

I really want to try FP4+ in 120 and I have some pan-F in the fridge, but I'm not going to try them for the first time on vacation, and my development times for 35mm don't seem to translate to 120. And there is something about the way acros gets skies and highlights that I really like, with no filter.

This paper isn't mentioned by Tim Rudman in his "LITH MATERIALS UPDATE" from 2008 and 2013. But maybe it is too old for that?
I'll ask if anyone knows on a Facebook group about lith.

This is rather very old paper. Let me see how my luck goes.

Agfa paper tends to mature nicely IME-I've printed on 20 year old stuff and it looked great.

Bought a Nikon FM today from a charity shop for GBP17.50. I got it at a reduced price because there was even fungus on the back of the lens.

The camera meters and sounds right at all speeds, it needs new seals and some cleaning up but apart from a couple of places where the paint has rubbed off it's in good condition. The lens is fungal inside and out though.

I have tried opening it but can't remove the rear element to clean inside. I do have other lenses I can use, I'd just like to save this one if I can.

I wasn't planning on getting a 4x5 so soon, but I decided the 7x11 was too much of a beast for me to lug around and sold it. Picked this up from Badger Graphic on eBay and it arrived today.

Jim, congrats on the new unit, looks like a really nice piece.

I got my Sekonic 758 the other day from B&H and test drove it today out at Joshua Tree NP. I'd played with it for a few days before so it was dialed in pretty well already. I like it a lot.

Traded an FM2n that was in iffy condition, an F4 with upper LCD bleed and some wear, plus an 18-55 DX zoom for an 18-70 DX zoom and a 50/1.4 Nikkor-S with factory AI ring. Got $31 in exchange.

Because it was hardly any money ... A rather old Ilford 980 dark green safelight filter, so I could play at development by inspection with pan film :smile:
