A brick of expired APX25 in 120 format, for a little bit more than I was hoping - got too excited during the auction. I remember loving APX100 in 35mm, and my GX680III is eagerly waiting to test out this APX25.

1 - 50 sheet box of Foma 400. The scratching issue I had with Foma will probably not happen now that I develop dip and dunk. The price has finally called me to try it vs hp5. If I like it enough I will use it as my normal film.

2 more bottles of Adox Neutol Eco. Pretty sure I’m going to be using this as both my paper and deep tank film developer.

Started doing the testing on the Foma 400. The base fog levels are to the point the film must have been fogged. Not going to waste my time with it, just going to keep using hp5. This is specifically a box of arista 400 from B and H. Going to try to return/exchange it for hp5.

It cost me a couple of gallons of gas; a 72 inch, fiberglass darkroom sink that is practically unused.

I've been good this year at continuing to use the (too much) film I already have! At this point I think my only major purchase will be E-6 kits. Looking forward to having more freezer space for various meats and vegetables.

I'm going to shoot the film I have. I keep buying really nice completely manual cameras, no batteries required. I have another F2 on the way. I think I have at least a half dozen F2 cameras ridiculous 😳

Great, but there are seven days in a week. 😆

Not to mention 12 months a year or 52 total weeks ;P

However, I feel this pain. I had to go on a strict "I have too many Nikon film bodies" diet about a year ago. It's like parting with old friends, but I needed the room ... for, uh, new friends.

An absolute motherload of darkroom equipment, roughly a dozen cameras, half a library of old books and magazines - basically one serious photographer's lifetime of dedication. For free... well, the cost of getting it all out of their house so they could sell it.

I'm still getting my head around exactly what I have, but highlights so far are a complete and working Jobo CPE-2 with several 1500 and 2800 series drums, Meopta colour enlarger, a lovely Pentax KX kit and surprisingly complete Australian and British photo journal collections from the late 1940s through to the early 1970s.

My better half has contained her fury, in the knowledge that I'm now as motivated to get a bigger house now as she is, heheh.

Even though it's a Six-20, the sticker inside instructs you to use 120 film.

Kodak might not have had 620 film available in UK what that camera was introduced?

That's what I'd like to know. :smile:
Of course, there are cameras that use 620 film, but I plan to look into when each one was released in the future.

From the Brian Coe "kodak cameras: 1st 100 years", it says it was introduced in 1933 & took 620 film.

And in the Jim McKeown booj "kodak cameras", in one section it says that when they introduced 620, they changed the format for one of their cameras, the "Boy Scout Brownie" from 120 to take 620 film, & that Kodak LTD. UK & Kodak AG switched to 620 film, so chances are it took 120 at first then got switched to 620

I can happily report that I haven't bought anything photography related since the last time I posted, 9 days ago... 😁

To whom, per chance, is this report directed? :whistling:
