    Re: C-41 Process Times

    The process time shouldn't change with film speed but the replenishment rate of the chemistry might.

    Re: Film for masking

    I've used TMX with plain ID-11 but can't recall the exposure/development details - I'd have to look at my notes. In post-exposure Ctein recommended TMX and provided the details for a colour neutral...
  3. Re: Cibachrome Drums: What quantity chemicals?

    When doing 8x10 Ilfochromes in an 8x10 cibachrome drum the cpm-1m paper I used wouldn't bend to the curve of the drum. It's more of a problem with smaller prints than larger ones.
  4. Re: Cibachrome Drums: What quantity chemicals?

    One thing I should add is that the Cibachrome drums might require more chemistry than an equivalent sized Jobo drum as they don't have the ridges you slide the paper into (at least mine don't) which...
  5. Re: Cibachrome Drums: What quantity chemicals?

    For Ilfochrome the minimums were 75ml for 8x10, 150ml for 11x14 and 360ml for 16x20 drums. These were doubled for the transparency materials. There's no mention of 4x6 in my booklet. You'd need to...
  6. 240mm, 360mm or 135mm/150mm for 4x5 enlarger

    My 4x5 enlarger won't handle anything larger than a 150mm lens due to the 72mm or larger lens thread size.

    200w or 250w?

    I would not blindly install a 250W globe. Although the voltage is the same it will draw 25% more current which may overload wiring, connectors and/or the transformer. Power dissipation is...

    Toyo 45CF & 65mm lenses...do they fit?

    For those using 75mm lenses with a 12mm recessed board, once focussed on infinity (and after removing the 75mm lens so you don't accidently hit the ground glass) do you still have enough room to move...

    Toyo 45CF & 65mm lenses...do they fit?

    Sorry, no specific experience however my 45AII which lists similar limitations has some pretty squashed bellows with a 90mm lens on a flat lensboard. I suspect in order to use a 65mm lens you'd need...

    180mm enlarging lens

    One other thing to check is to ensure that you can get (or have made) and can fit a lensboard which will take the lens. Most 180mm lenses have a larger mount size (typically 72mm) than their 4x5...
  12. Fuji NPS 160 returned with massive red cast. Why?

    I think the film notches are okay. Looks like there's been some distortion due to a wide angle lens as the top right negative looks more like a 4x5 sheet than the bottom two. There's certainly an...

    Macophot Infrared

    I've found a Lee 87 IR filter works fine with Maco 820c both Aura and non-Aura. For the Lee system there's also a 100mm Cokin resin 89B (Z-pro 007) if you don't require as much of an effect.

    For a rough estimate of pixels per inch you can multiply the lp/mm figure by 50.8. Something like Velvia for example is on average somewhere between 4000 and 8000 ppi depending upon contrast. Tri-X...

    Color film newbie questions

    Hi Wayne,

    Velvia 50 is leaving to be replaced with Velvia 100 (not to be confused with Velvia 100F). Faster, finer grain but less sharp. Press release is on the Fuji site.
