I use the tank and reels you mentioned. I don't know how you could ever get the film out of the camera film holders and into the developing reels without touching the film. As far as loading the...

I would like to repeat one thing. In my discussions with Kearsarge he has constantly said it is best to plug the timer into a wall outlet, not into the enlarger power supply.

Ted

The owner of Kearsarge told me that it was best to plug the timer directly into the wall outlet, not the enlarger's power supply/regulator because there might be a conflict. You may try that.

Ted

The 4550 will work with the 301.

Make sure the plug from the power supply is plugged into the enlarger socket: when looking at the 301, face toward you and the plugs on top, the enlarger socket is...

I have a Saunders 4550 XLG with which I used to use the Kearsarge 301. I now use a Kearsarge 403 and a Stop Clock; however I keep the 301 as a back up. I went into the darkroom and hooked up the 301...

Another thing to consider is when you agitate the tank do so in the direction that keeps the flat of the film facing you rather than agitating in the direction of the full film which would allow the...

Paper negatives are easy. Use any photo paper (without printing on the back; single weight if you can get it), cut to 4x5, put in your film holder and shoot. When using Ilford paper, for example,...

When Kodak first came out with Xtol they listed times for 1:3 dilution. However, when using a small tank for 35mm, such as a Nikkor SS tank that uses only 8 oz., there wasn't enough developer for...

Another question: does this mean that there is a change in 100 Tmax planned for the future?

Ted

Kodak says on the Tmax-RS box (in all caps) and in the instructions not to mix A and B together until they are to be used. When it comes to these kinds of instructions I tend to believe Kodak.

Ted

All this talk about schools is interesting. I guess we're behind the times here in Arkansas. The community college where I teach photography just expanded the photography program. I just resurrected...

It had to have been "B" that you tossed. If you tossed "A" there wouldn't be anything left.

Does anyone know what the "B" solution for Tmax-RS does for the developer?

Ted

What do you mean "without the little packet"? Didn't you use the B solution?

Ted

Do you have starting times at various temperatures for the 1:9 dilution. I've been unable to find anything that lists them.

Ted

OK, I did it.

I had to do a lot of head scratching to figure how I wanted to handle this. I ended up mixing Part A with water to make 32 oz. of stock solution and mixing Part B with water to also...

Thanks! Everybody has been extremely helpful. So there's nothing like going and doing it.

Ted

Robert - That is the data sheet I downloaded and I don't see any specifice reference to mixing parts A and B. I was hoping to use as you do by mixing A & B just before use and diluting 1:4. I would...

For years I have been using 400 Tmax with Xtol 1:1 but I thought I would, for the fun of it, give Kodak Tmax RS a try. I downloaded the Kodak data sheet on Tmax developer and just receive the...

You don't need this. Standard rapid fixer works fine. Simply fix for 5 minutes; agitate for the first 30 seconds and then for 15 seconds of each 30-second interval after that. In other words,...

I agree with Randy. I teach photography at the community college in the county where I live. In our Graphic Arts program we have 8 still photography courses; only 2 are digital and the rest are...

Walter,

Check out this web site which shows how to make a seperator for Unicolor. I made some and they work very well.

This isn't and easy one to solve but I do have some questions. Are the spots in exactly the same place on each of the negatives? If not, then it's not a lense problem. Also, they may be in the...

You don't need a drying cabinet or a temperature contol valve, but if you had them they would be very useful and you would like using them.
