Sounds good- Kodak's instructions aren't very thorough.
Also, I did see a hair as I was mixing it as well.

Oh man, almost exactly like I did... I had my Nikon with the 50 1.4 wrapped in a sweater in my backpack. I was feeling cold and wanted to take the sweater out, completely forgot about the camera. It fell on the lens from a height of about 50cm (the backpack was fortunately on the floor). The camera was fine but the lens...Guess what I just did?
so I'm out with my new mamiya c220, and decide to take off my sweatshirt because it's warming up.in the process of doing this I manage to twang off my 55mm lens that's worth as much as the camera itself and it lands in a puddle. now I have to figure out how to clear some water residue out of the inside elements of the lens.
Yea, that's definitely more damage and I'd have been devastated if that happened to my lens in question.Oh man, almost exactly like I did...

The UV filter cannot be unscrewed from the lens. Some of the filter glass landed on the front lens (which otherwise looks fine). I am still debating having it repaired or finding a "new second-hand" one during my next trip to Tokyo... those 50 1.4 AF-D go for relatively reasonable prices.
Thanks, will try this. I already tried rubber gloves. The thing is, this autofocus lens does not offer a good grip except on the focus ring, and I fear I'll damage the AF mechanism if I apply too much force. Hmm, not much to lose I guess. The lens is unusable in its current state anyway!Get a filter wrench set to remove the filter and ring. OR rubber gloves OR wide rubber band
the trick is to have the chemicals barely above the water, and to wear a vapor maskI just tried mixing my own powder developer for the first time and I'm afraid I got dust particles in it because I didn't put my mixer in a bag.
We'll see what happens next.
no filter though.the trick is to have the chemicals barely above the water, and to wear a vapor mask
its not the dust in the room you want to avoid, its the chemical dust you might breath in.
i figure with your handle you have a mask
All the posts that mention forgetting to change various settings sound painfully familiar but ultimately reassuring (it's refreshing to know that I'm not the only dunce to have ever picked up a camera). I'd say my best one was managing to load a roll of film into my Mamiya 645 backwards. I was still new to processing my own film (still am, for that matter), and I spent a sleepless night trying to figure out how or why the entire roll came out completely blank. A Google search quickly reassured me, though . . .
As I said (sort of): "Phew!"Everyone does that once. Only once.
I didn't have to go to that length, thank goodness. No, the camera operated normally, just as it should have. The camera operator, however, totally failed.My dad's buddy loaded a mamiya 645 incorrectly and jammed the insert into the camera - took a lot of cutting to get the remains out
