Hope somone can help. I've been through all the various posts on v700 banding and ruled out the most common problems. The calibration area has been cleaned thoroughly, negs clean and developed in the...

Thanks for your advice ndrs - really appreciate it.

It's the soft cap and it's a CPE2 Plus without the lift. I will give it a try a stop rinse.

Pretty hacked off by Rollei/Maco that they...

Not really as I am using 250ml solution. I may try a different temp. Thanks

Hi folks,

I've bought some Rollei Digibase c41 chemistry to try away from Tetenal but I'm having problems at the bleach stage with the lid blowing off the drom and expelling half the bleach in to...

SOLVED :)

Thanks for the reply Neil. I've figured it out so this is for anyone else experiencing the same problem this is the fix below. It only happens on 17inch wide papers custom size and other...

Hi,

I hope some can help as I'm tearing my hair out with this.

I am printing with an Epson 3880, Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1.

I have set up custom paper sizes of 432mm (17 inch) x 710 mm. I'm...

Thanks. I've tried this and even stopped right down but it seems to still result in the same issues.

f/32. Look at the closer crop. The rocks behind the area of moss on the left are soft yet sharper behind and sharper to the right.

Could somebody give me some feedback please? I'm not sure if it is my technique that's wrong or whatever but I'm seeing small areas of slightly out of focus area in my negs/trannies. I've attached an...

Yes, the FD is the important step. There's a problem with Blix in that it is less stable and retains silver. Because all the silver is not bleached out, it isn't solved by leaving it the Blix for...

I'm sorry you feel that way and thanks for your help. I've been developing slides for over 20 years but due to 6 bath and Fuji kits not being available, I am having to reacquaint myself with tetenal...

Yes, but these are times for 500ml & 1000ml solution. I am looking for times and yields for 300ml solution mixed. There will be a difference in a Rotary processor for this quantity of mixed stock. ...

It doesn't say 7/7/7. That's only 7 mins for the FD at 39 degrees. No mention at all of CD or BLX there.

Look at the left hand side of the page. It says "First developer times must be adapted to...

Here's a copy of the instructions

I have many times. Definitely nowhere does it say 7/7/7 Where are you based? I'm in the UK.

Rotary Discard times - 6.15/6/6

Tetenal's state 6m15 for the FD and I've followed this before but had slightly under exposed slides with Fuji chromes. They state 6min for CD increasing to 8mins for the last two rolls of 6 roll...

I don't think I am. The tetenal timed for CD are 6mins. Jobo recommend only 4mins.


:confused: I can't get my head round what you're saying here. Sorry.

Are you sure about that? I've never...

Hi everybody, can anybody help. I've searched for this and finding little or nothing.

I'm using a Jobo CPE 2 with 1520 Unitank for my 120 films and a 2523 for 4x5. I split the tetenal kit into 2 x...

Hi,

I've searched and found conflicting advice on this. Tetenal's instructions say they are based on rotary processors times, but Jobo recommends a reduced time of 4 minutes for the colour dev...

Sorry if this is stupid but how are the washing steps done with the CPE for E6 and C41?

Thanks again

Thanks guys - much appreciated. :)

Hi folks,

Can anyone please tell me if a 2523 drum will work in a CPE2 processor for developing 5x4 sheet film. I'm confused as heck about all the code numbers and I'm none the wiser after...

I think it's the type of material. I bought a 5x4 Canham that has a sort of chemical smell coming from the bellows too - it's not a mouldy smell. I think it's the material personally. I've had mine...

Groan - no. I'll slap myself. Cheers Vinny :)

Hoping someone can help me with this. On MF and 35mm I have no bother positioning a hard grad to balance the sky from foreground. With LF it's got me beat. I can't see the filter edge at all on the...

If you can figure out what then please let me know. If you read the thread you'll see I posted an image of the curled sheets. In this batch I processed some fuji trannies together with some...

What works for me is:
B&W - 4 inversions every minute - takes approx 10-14 secs using ilfosol. Don't get any problems.
Slide & Colour neg (tetenal 3 bath) Invert tank slowly for 20 secs in first...

Curious if anyone develops colour transparencies with one of these and if so, how do you keep the temp constant for 100 deg F processing.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi Heroique, the film is curled when it comes out the tank before drying. I haven't used a film lab for a long time so I haven't tested this avenue. I think all the 5x4 labs have gone where I live.

It varies. I've had fresh velvia curl, expired ektachrome and expired velvia all do it. Tonight for example, I processed two velvia 50 (exp) and two Ektachrome 100

Strangely enough, I'm having a...

I feel your frustration Vinny :(

Hi,

Hoping someone cane help. After developing and drying, my 5x4 transparencies are curled. Some more than others. It doesn't happen with any of my B&W negs. I've tried putting them in sleeves,...

Hi everyone. Thanks to all who posted giving me advice on my first LF camera. I read and took in all the great suggestions and took the plunge to buy one of the "budget" wooden ones but sadly, the...

Hi folks,

Looking for some general advice on what to choose for my first LF camera/lens. I shoot landscapes, closeups of things like leaves, tree barks (not true macro). I will also shoot the...
