Post exposure and heavy overdevelopment in Acufine might, depending upon the variables mentioned above, give you something printable. Or Edwal FG-7.

Hi all,
Would a 5x7 flashed opal glass (opal one side only) be useable as a ground glass on a 5x7 view camera?

Yup. Ya dun good.
The blotter paper will stick to the wet emulsion. Blotter books have a kind of wax paper page that goes over the wet emulsion side; the old blotter rolls had a special matte non-stick surface for...

The spring back on my Speed Graphic will not accept the holder. The Graflex or Graflock or whatever it is on my Crown Graphic takes it.

Since I like cold-tones, I use my modified Ansco 103 to make one liter of stock solution

I actually might have a pack or two of Zone VI left. I really like it. But I found that I like my own modification of Ansco 103 (not a typo) better. Use standard formulary, but halve the amount of...

One approach which sometimes works was advised to me by an old-line repairman. That is to place the lens in a cold oven. Then, very gradually, over a couple of hours, to gently raise the...
Surplus Shed, near Allentown, PA is offering bags of photo-type little screws taken from Wollensaks, binocs, other optical apparatus. Google it.
The Ektars were all advertised by Kodak as corrected for that new-fangled color film. They are really very decent lenses. Great bang for the buck!.

Or a Kalart; or a Sun. If o.p. would like to see it work, rig up a coupla 1.5 v batteries, cock the shutter, then get some wire and touch it to the "household" plug. I'll bet that shutter...
If you had been using a high-sulfite developer, I would say it is a scum of calcium sulfite because you did not use a fresh acid stop bath or fresh fixer or both.
That enlarger was sold in the USA as a Bogen.
Nothing nearly as interesting. But I set up my 5x7 Ansco View on a slab of concrete at a pull-off near Taos, NM. There are vicious ants in them thar hills--and they do not like being disturbed by...
