Hi all,

I was wondering if there are significant drawbacks in having one lens act like a second one's focal length? For instance, say I have a 240mm lens but like the 360mm look so instead of...

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I ended up buying a Jobo TBE-2 and that's made a big difference in getting the temperature warmed up faster since there's much less water to heat than the CPP3....

Hi,

I have a Jobo CPP3 and I'm having difficulty getting the correct 38 degree temperature as I use the auto mode. If I let the machine do its thing and I start off with room temperature...

Does anyone know the Heico Perma Wash ratio to use on smaller batches? The directions say 3 ounces to 1 gallon of water. A gallon is too much for my needs since I don't process film that...

great, thanks for the info guys!

what about temperature control? it seems like you need to buy a separate temperature control valve for the atl-1500? is this the case with the cpp2 as well?

since this is all new to me, which other units did you have in mind that would also be suitable for 8x10 e6 development?

thanks!

ah ok.

so what would happen if you tried sticking in an e6 8x10 film in a 2500 series drum/tank to develop in the atl-1500 and process only one at a time? does it still come out ok?

wow! thanks a bunch ken!

i'm surprised that the initial default value you were given for the middle value (gamma i believe) was 1.00. i always get 1.50. if i change it to 1.00 it becomes too dark...

so those dedolights are not typically used for key lights? is that because they're not powerful enough to light the entire body or wrap...
