Durst 10"x10" 2501 AF horizontal here.

I'm looking at the C12135 camera case. Anyone here use it for a Shen Hao FCL 810 8x10? The dimensions would suggest it would be a tight fit.
I'm surprised no one has commented on this Preston so I'll jump in. His post sounds trollish to me. He just joined the forum a month ago and then this post with pretty weak advice. To assume that...
I only tried it with 11x14 so can't speak to other sizes however as you know fiber gets really soft when wet and for my trial it was pretty hard getting it out without damaging it. It just has no...
All my color work up to 20x24 is done in Jobo drums but I'm sure you're asking about B&W. Just for the heck of it I tried some B&W fiber based paper in a Jobo drum and as Drew said, fiber in a drum...
I have 240 and 300 Rodagon's and also have two 360 Schneider Componon's. Of these I use the 360 Componon the most. It's a beautiful lens and since I have a horizontal enlarger I don't have the...
Gitzo 1270 magnesium low profile on Gitzo 3531 CF legs for 4x5. Gitzo 1370 magnesium head on 5540 CF legs for 8x10. Great combination of stability and light weight.
I'll be in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan by Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in early October. That area is capable of stunning fall color if the conditions are right.
Exactly my point. It's subjective, not right or wrong.
That's a pretty absolute statement for a very subjective art form.
Very nice. I love fall color and we're almost at that season again.
ln is not a variable. It stands for natural logarithm. So, y=0.5167 times the natural log of x - 0.2.
See the definition of natural logs for more... ...
I do like it. I run process control strips for C-41 as well as RA-4 to make sure my chemistry is still good before I run anything important.
Sorry for the VERY late reply. I haven't been on the forum lately. I use 1000ml when I do 8x10 in the 3005. I don't believe that is the problem. As I mentioned, I only see this issue with 8x10...
That's the one I have for my 932. Haven't seen a more specific one.
I'm referring to C-41 processing, not B&W. I have no problems with B&W. They come out perfect. Development time for C-41 at 100 degrees is only 3 minutes 15 seconds. Very short for rotary...
Thanks Dan & Ari. I'll give it a try.
Sorry Zaitz for the slight thread jack. You're kind of between a rock and a hard place. If you don't do enough C-41 it's probably not worth doing at home....
Can you elaborate? how long for each? How are you processing? What size film? I'm having a tough time with 8x10 in Jobo 3005 expert tanks. The developing time at 100 degrees is short and very...
That's a pretty nice darkroom considering you are renting. Interesting approach with the Jobo recessed into the cabinet. I assume its supported underneath?
Thanks Erik. It's working out pretty well so far. When I retire I'll be building hopefully my last darkroom and I'll probably relocate the Kreonite processor. It's a little awkward where it sits...
For 8x10 format I have the Durst horizontal that I picked up for cheap. The engineering and precision of this thing never ceases to amaze me. I have a 4'x4' easel mounted to the wall that I use...
Here is my current darkroom although it's in a state of constant transition (and mess). It's my fifth darkroom and it seems as though I never get one really finished before I start using it. There...
Darkroom only. B&W and color. Enlargers for formats up through 8x10. RA-4 print capability to 30"x40"
MDF is the way to go. It's dimensionally stable and very flat. I used it to make a vertical easel for my horizontal 10x10 enlarger. As Bob said, I glued sheet metal to the front face so I could...
Bob,
I also have a 2300. How do you read the number of cycles on the lift arm?
You're welcome :)
Seriously though, my intent was not to start an online volley back and forth. John however, spends a fair bit of time going over this issue in his B&W workshop for a reason. He...
John Sexton disagrees with you.
I had the same learning experience attending John Sexton's workshop. An additional test that's an eye opener is to put a mirror on the baseboard, 12"x12" will do, put the lens cap on the lens and...
Understood. But if the USPS were allowed to raise prices to offset that $5 Billion loss, postage would be more than 44 cents.
Also, private companies do have to fund their pension obligations. ...
Except that the USPS lost $5 Billion last year. Probably not a good reference.
That's what I tried to do with the PVC cement but I guess it does not melt the plastic enough. The funnel pops loose again after a few months. I've only been tacking it to the posts as you said. ...
Thanks Bob. Pretty modest compared to your facilities but it serves me well. I lined the sinks with sheets of PVC and that has held up really well. I generally do any tray work in the left sink...
Several good ideas have been made including putting the Jobo on a cart. Yes the sinks need to slope towards the drain. It doesn't take much but you need some slope (inclination). If you do decide...
So is it an Expert drum lid or a 2800 series lid? I have had similar problems with Expert drum lids and have yet to find the right type of glue. I've tried several types of plumbing cements for...
I'm not referring to the milky spots. There may have been multiple problems here. I'm talking about the vertical bands of varying density. See MWitmann's reply below. It's hard to see on my...
I don't debate the fact that you keep stabilizer off the tank and reels. The same holds true for photoflow and B&W. Jobo says the same in their instructions. But that is not the cause of vertical...
I have experienced this problem with 8x10 in a 3005 expert drum but not for 4x5. C-41 develops pretty fast at 100 degrees and if the solution doesn't cover the entire negative in the first...
I'm seeing some signs of uneven development in the negative images. It looks like vertical bands of varying density probably caused by uneven filling and rotation of the drum. Is that what you're...
All is not lost! I get some pretty nice results printing optically from Portra 160 and Ektar to Kodak's Ultra Endura for landscapes. 120, 4x5 and 8x10. Negative film has improved quite a bit over...
