Stupid me! Yes, I was referring to Fuji Acros in 120. I guess jumping around to different forums can be detrimental to your memory. In 4x5 and 8x10 I have only used TMX, TRI-X, and cheap Chinese...

Sandy is right about Acros and he's also right about using different developers with it. I've had really fine results with Ilford DD-X and Rodinal (semi-stand). I haven't tried Xtol or Pyrocat-HD,...

Many years ago, before I had any Technidol I used Rodinal at a very high dilution rate. 1 to 200 and a longer than normal developing time. I wish I could remember everything about the process, but...

Are you using a grain focuser to focus your enlarger? If you are you must use a scrap sheet of paper the same as what you are using for printing. If you are and your enlarger is out of alignment...

I posted this on another forum also, but thought I'd see if anybody was interested here...........

Slavich paper order from Laser Reflections...................



I sent an email to Laser...

I also just did some searching and found that Freestyle wasn't going to handle the paper anymore, but I couldn't confirm that. I'm glad to hear that LPD and Slavich work well together since I'm a...

I'd like some info on Slavich graded papers from anyone who has used them. The reason being that my grandson has now taken an interest in photography and I want to teach him from the ground up. I...

Yes, I certainly wasn't looking to get by this cheap. I suppose I should take him out for a bite to eat when he gets here. I've done a few favors for him so I think this might be just a little...

I had read that a "good" Microtek scanner can do some amazing things, but never ever thought I'd own or buy one. Well, I thought wrong! I contacted a friend that lives about 125mi away and ask him...

Pete,
I'm impressed! This looks really good and I pretty much have everything I need. John

Sounds interesting, but I couldn't open the links for some odd reason. I'll try to search it out after dinner. Thanks! John

Didn't see you got a 4990 for $90.00!!!!! Now that's in my price range for a darn good scanner. John

The Agfa Duoscan scanning 8x10 won't come close to a 6x7 off the Nikon? I would have thought it to be close, but I guess I don't know much. Yes, I have several DSLR's Canon, Sigma, and Fuji. John

If I tried a triple scan on the Epson 2450 I might damage the neg as there are some clips that hold the foam panel in and those might ride on the neg. I thought about the Epson 4990, but it's still...

Kevin,
No, I want to know what suggestions other folks, who might have been in my shoes at one time, might have. I just want very good result from 8x10 from a modest priced scanner. I know I...

I want to try my hand at scanning some B&W negatives I have and some I'll shoot in the future, but don't have a scanner for 8x10. I have an older Epson 2450 that I thought I'd try and make a light...

I'd say fresh enough! I wonder if the stock somehow got moisture in/on it before it was packed and then began to "grow" after it was sealed.? I don't know, but it sure looks like that French stuff...

Yes, the bleach is the bitch! Solve that problem and the rest should be easy. All I know is that buying the chemicals for the amount of printing that I do at one time is a "no go". I agree that...

Is this "fresh dated" film? I've had something similar from some long expire French B&W film. The film was lightly fogged and mottled looking like fungus on a coated lens. Poor storage was likely...

Well, it's sad, but Ilfochrome/Cibachrome was a specialty type process from the beginning and so it was bound to suffer when it's user base evaporated. I have a bunch of paper, but no chemicals. I...
