I'm glad you liked it and hope to see you again in the near future!
Even if you just want to spend a day looking at great prints do consider joining us.
The problem for the Camera stores is that the consumables are all commodity items and there's no compelling reason to go to a camera store to buy. The biggest competition for consumables for the...
Just to be clear we're NOT a camera club by any stretch of the imagination. We're simply people interested in large format photography that gets together on the third Saturday of each month to do...
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...
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...
In the "official" recipe for D76 the hydroquinone <SP?> isn't active and only the metol actually does the development. This is a result of the PH being to low. However after D76 is mixed the...
I can't prove it but I know for a fact that you were somehow involved in Efke going under!! :)
So Mike, When did you start mixing fresh D76? :cool:
FX2 is the greatest film developer known to man so it has to give the "richest" grey! :)
As memory serves Jobo always recommended (insisted) that photoflo not be used with their processors, tanks and reels. I've found that with the "plastic" containers I use foam up when I add hot water...
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...
I tried buying film from them but their software wouldn't let me enter a state and the order failed because I didn't enter a state. Not sure how I'm supposed to enter the information needed to put...
It was a great day with a lot of fantastic prints! I hope that people here check us out at www.midwestlargeformat.com. We're the largest and most active group in the country and have monthly group...
I'd like to try wephota np film but can't seem to find a source in the US. I found a place in Germany that sells it but their online shopping system doesn't allow me to enter my state and of course...
I used Efke-25 exclusively for the last eight years and have been going through 10-15 boxes a year. I would like to try waphoto's iso25 film but can't seem to order it here in the US.
There's no need or reason to be jealous of my work. I try and I enjoy but somehow my end work always leaves a lot t obe desired. If you shoot large format I would suggest you pack up some of your...
I can't imagine how soaking any modern film in a liquid would be anything but bad. Seems like sheet film in hangers would be best but getting the film flat after it dries would be a trick!
I've been looking at getting a box of wephota plana-25. Has anyone tried this film?
I would call Mike and ask for PPD, p-aminophenol, etc. Not everything he has or can get is listed on his website.
There are chems that Mike doesn't carry though and when I buy a number of chems at a time I like to get them all from the same place at the same time. Cuts down on the hassle of ordering and getting...
If you don't have a portfolio to show come anyhow. Although anonymous free will donations are accepted to offset the cost of the conference room (we're a small group that charges no dues or has any...
Battery powered paint stirrers and drill presses? Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to go to walmart, target, etc and pick up a stick blender and if you NEED one a hot plate?
I mixed up a liter of...
The scale you describe isn't worth $20!! I can get them for under $15 from Amazon. :)
You also need to be carefull not to push the retaining clip down to far. Just enough to keep the film from shifting in the hanger.
Very nice! I'm looking forward to getting a box of it to shoot! I just wish my order would get here already!!
I think I can mix up a little D76! :) As of right now I'm looking to try D76h, fx37 and fx2. I've done a bit of looking around on google and have seen some (heavily photoshoped I'm sure) scans of...
Since posting I'm starting think that I'll give fx2 a try. I already use it with Efke-25 and like that combo a lot. My thinking is that both the efke and fomapan are old emulsions and I like the...
I've got a box of fomapan-100 ordered and expect to get it in a few days. I'm wondering what people develop it with. I should mention I mix my own developers and I'm not interested in developers I...
Is there anyone else having a hard time subscribing to the midwestlf mailing list??
If so can you send me as much information as you can about the problem that your
having? I'll add you by hand...
A good loooking woman joining us is not only allowed but it's encouraged!! :-)
No need for the false mustache, come as you are.
If only good looking men are allowed on the list then I don't qualify either! :-)
I've just heard that people are having joining the midwestlf mailing list. As far as I can tell the list is up and processing membership requests. When you try to subscribe are you sending the...
