The goal is indeed to get a good product that can be upscaled with a consistent quality. Unlike the first runs of New55. The new improvements are steps toward a more stable product. :-)
Alive and kicking i would say!

The Famous Format monobath gives very good results with various types of film. You might try it out. Not saying it is a magical kind of thing but to start of a good choice.
So the last couple of weeks I have been setting up my darkroom to go big once again. I just kept putting it of for some reason. However today i tried my biggest print to date. Not that i am planning...
Sometimes I shoot nudes and i would not have a problem posing nude. I did a series of nude self portrait after my stomach surgery.
And part three is published now. Lets hope a relaunch will happen next year:...
Part two has been published. Production is becoming a reality day by day:
...
And fun I will have tomorrow at the Photokina :)
Do you have contact with Sam? I think it is better to discuss this sort of things with him instead of me :) I'll bet al help is appreciated.
Market input was given the years New55 was available. And I think you can safely assume he has got his network already.
Since a lot of analog producers are not going to the photokina this year...
Well unless he has got more urgent matters to attend of course. Liken building a good and viable product. :p Just kidding. There is also such a thing as timing. Reading his article I would say now is...
Nope Photokina will take place next year in may. From this year on it will be a yearly event in the spring.

Blasphemus!!!! Of course we need instant film. Go wash your mouth with soap now my child! :p :p :p
I can see your point. However with such smal markets for this kind of film a company just doesn't have the luxury of developing a complete and flawles product. That is too expensive and too time...
Nah why buy old stuff if you can help revive a great film type to last us for years to come?
Interesting stuff at Famous Format:

Because you keep rolling the paper it will get new developper. So the developping is failry even if done good. That is why I have enough testing paper to get that right. :-)
I figured the enlarger issue out. I made some test prints with the head in the normal position. And I made a video and a blog about it:

Amazing deal. To bad shipping is so expensive to the Netherlands. In the end the costs will be more then when I buy a pack of 18x24cm film in the Netherlands. Even when buying three packs of film.
It should but it is not working somehow. I have the Durst L184. I know which part i have to loosen or which knob to loosen but the head isn't doing anything. Guess i have to take the head apart to...
Last year I got to print some large images at my school. I made some prints of 1x1,2 meters. I wanted to do some more but my darkroom was not equipped to do such a thing. And no money to start...
My homebuild camera's. A pinhole and a wide angly fixedfocus camera. The wide angle is not yet finished but I took it out for a test run.

I already got two tripod mounts. One for my pinhole and one for this camera. I'll look into the lens protectors. Thanks for the link.
Thanks Jac. I am pretty happy as well. Although I do realise the photo's appaer rather small here. Now I have to finish it of with a screwmount for a tripod and some paint. I will post some photo's...
I have decided on the focal distance. I think it is pretty good but I want to be sure. So a photo and a 100% crop. Is it good or can it be better?

I have my forst version ready and turned it into a pinhole. My woodworking skills reaqlly suck! :-) Now busy with the second version. I think I will use one old filmholder to create a sort of...
I have my pinhole version almost ready. In the mean time I have ordered a lens tool so I can put my 65mm lens on a home made lensboard. Then I can start contructing camera nr2 with the lens. And the...
Does the screws have european threads or english?
Thanks. For some reason I am worried if the whole steup wil cover the whole negative. It will but still. Where did you get the screwthingy so you can attach the camera on a tripod? One for a decent...
McGirton: No problem as long as I learn something from it :-). I have decided to go back to the drawingboard. My experiment that I was working at was a hopeless disaster :-D. My next attempt will be...
@Steve I use a 65mm super angulon wide angle lens. I decided to use the Sinar lens board because it is already on it and I don't have the proper tools to take it off.
Bit by bit my camera comes together. It looks like crap (still). Sorry I don't have photo's yet. As good as I could I managed to get infinity in focus and subsequently have tried ever since to get a...
Leica was good for standardization. Kodak liberated us from studio and tripod with their small boxcamera with a roll of film that could take 100 photo's.
I will of course. My very crude first attempt to figure out how to measure the actual distance the lensboard has to be from the film plane is encouraging. But it is to dark now to focus on infinity....
Wow what a nice discussion. I will read everything later on and I do enjoy the enthusiasm from everybody. My plans are rather simple and consisting of the lens and lensboard it is on attached to a...
I only have one big shot. So not gonna mess that one up. :-)
Hi Jac that would be awesome. The idea of fixed focus for me comes from street photography where you use aperture f/16 for example and focus the camera that everything is sharp between 1,5 meters to...
