  1. Re: How many sheets of paper does it take you to get your first keeper-print?

    Every time!

    LOL. I have done that more than once...
  3. Re: How many sheets of paper does it take you to get your first keeper-print?

    You've reminded me that I bought one on eBay ages ago and have never got round to trying it out. I must do that. I already use an RH Designs Stop Clock so there's no excuse really.
  4. Re: How many sheets of paper does it take you to get your first keeper-print?

    Depends on the negative. I can usually get to a decent first work print with two test strips, each of which is a quarter of a sheet. So one and a half on average, to get a work print. From the work...

    I've used Xtol for 15 years or so for everything except sheet film (for which I use Pyrocat HD). Always 1+1, box speed or push/pull processed, have never had a problem, it's been completely reliable...

    Re: Intrepid 5x7 opinions

    Paul - yes, I have made salt prints. This was not easy to make work as a silver gelatin print, I think it'll work for salt (my usual desired end result is quite low contrast). But my main interest is...

    Quick contact print. Aiming for high contrast negs for salt and kallitype printing, I think I hit it. Foma 100 @64, Pyrocat HD 1+1+100, 11.5 minutes

    Re: Foma 200?

    FWIW, I have shot a lot of Foma 100 in 8x10 and 4x5 sheets over the years and never had any problems with it at all, it's a very decent film. Anecdotally I have heard that Foma 200 is less reliable,...

    It's arrived. It's years since I've shot anything smaller than 8x10 in LF, so my first thought was how light it is compared to my Chamonix 810. It will get some in the field use very soon, I'm about...

    Re: Photo Critique: "Boulder," February 3, 2023

    I really like it, although I think it's crying out to be 4x5 or square, and paired as a diptych.

    4 minutes seems awfully short to me. I don't use tubes, but I give my 4x5 FP4+ 12.5 minutes in trays in Pyrocat HD 1:1:100 at 20 degrees C, and shoot it at ISO 100. I presoak for a couple of minutes,...
