  1. Linhof Technika IV front rise lever repair

    I have a later version of the Technika IV with the plastic-tipped front rise lever.

  5. Re: 8x10 contact printing in Fomatone Classic?

    Foma 100 film and MG131 paper is a beautiful combination for contact printing.

    For a paper developer I normally use Ansco130 or D-55. After the second fix I give it a quick dunk in 1+20 KRST -...

    Re: Oops! Efke 100 shot at iso 320

    Efke 100 in Diafine looks OK-ish rated at up to EI200, but at EI320 you're gonna have some pretty empty shadows.

    Better than nothing, though - you might like the effect.

    I think you're referring to the Seagull FB VC Warmtone. It was changed sometime in the last year or two to be warmer.
