4x5 Tmax-100, Xtol, Speed Graphic with 150mm Caltar lens.

Wow. 6 pages just like Jim Galli remarked. I went through the same dilemma of throwing away stuff. Recently, I started making my own developers and couldn't be happier. I do not make a single cent...

I have been developing B&W films (35mm, 120, 4x5) for years now. About 4 years ago, I tried Pyrocat HD and mixed the working solutions in the same rubbermaid bottle that use for all different...

Very nice.

Any reason why my post count is not increasing? Is there a profile setting or is this some kind of bug?

I have Agfa rodinal that I bought and used in 2001. I still have 3/4 bottle stored at room temp. Works perfectly even a decade later. I compared the results with a recent bottle of Adonal from...

Since Agfa Rodinal is no longer available, I have ordered and used Adox Adonal (from freestyle). I have a 10 year old opened bottle of the original Agfa Rodinal and I compared the results from both...

Great info. Thanx to everyone for their responses. Now time to order some chemicals.

Thank you.

If a working stock solution of D-23 is made (using metol and sodium sulfite), how long does it last? I plan on using it 1:1 and if I make 1 liter of stock, how long will the remaining 1/2 liter of...

Fred,

Thank you sharing your findings. You have confirmed what I am seeing with 35mm film. I will be mindful of these findings when I develop additional 35mm film.

Also thanx to others who...

Has anyone noticed consistently higher film base plus fog densities on 35mm film compared to 120 and 4x5 film?

I don't shoot a lot of tiny format anymore but I finally decided to read the fb+fog...

Shen-Hao 4x5, Tri-x, Fujinon-W 210mm F5.6 lens.

All,

Thanx for the suggestions. I ended up buying an f64 backpack that was listed on this forum.

Any suggestions on a backpack that is under $100 used?

I will be carrying a 4x5 shen-hao, 3 lenses, about 5 film holders, some filters, and a Pentax digi spot meter.

The tripod is bogen 3021...

Zack,

I don't think it will hurt if you use the same stop and fix solution for both film and paper. Hypo should be used only once (at least thats how I use it). When I first learned to develop...

Tim,

Tri-x in D76 or Xtol is very forgiving. Delta 100 in xtol is very nice if grain is an issue.

Didn't want to bore you to death with details but the above suggestions should be a start.

He has done some extensive testing with the old Zone VI VC cold light head and the new LED head. ...

All,

Thank you for the replies and sharing your experiences with this setup. The reduced development times needed confirms what I have observed. I thought something was wrong in the way I was...

All,

I am using unicolor 8x10 print drum to develop 4 4x5 on a uniroller as described in the article section of this forum.

The film is Tri-x 320TXP and the developer is xtol 1:1 (125ml:125ml)....

All,

I am new to 4x5 photography. I have been shooting 4x5 for about a year and 35mm, medium format for some time now.

I have Beseler 67s dichro that I have used for some years for non 4x5...

weird request? Maybe. Anyone who has PMK Pyro (liquid in two bottles) that they are not using? Want to trade for 3/4 bottle of rodinal? Its brown but as we all know, it is still good. I just...

Nino,

I would love to see the work you did in replacing the bellows. I am no longer going this route due to the cost involved and I have now picked up a modified Graflex from a fellow LF forum...

All,

Assuming that I am able to obtain a replacement bellows, what is involved in replacing bellows on Linhof Tech IV 4x5 camera. I really don't know much about these cameras except what I have...
