    Re: ISO 100 B&W film preferences

    For the last 7-8 years I used Efke almost exclusively but prior to that I used Tmax-100 and considered it a great film. It is very forgiving with exposure but horribly fussy about development and it...

    Re: D76 vs TMax RS processing

    I would use the listed times for the "newly mixed".

    Truth be told when using a new film/developer combination I do testing to determine the film speed to use and development time. I also like to...

  11. Re: Removing Photoflo contamination from JOBO reels

  12. Re: Removing Photoflo contamination from JOBO reels

    The best thing to do is not even put the reels in photoflo. Keep it out of the tanks as well!. I went out and got some cheap storage containers that are deep enough to hold enough photoflo to cover...
