I managed to find a 32.5mm retainer ring at Calumet. They call it a Copal 0 retainer ring. I now have a source. Thanks anyway.

I recently purchased an enlarger lens with a 32mm thread. It has no retainer nut. Though I own a Zone VI 5x7 enlarger, I also use an Omega C760 for medium format and the lens board has a 39mm...

Thanks. I believe you all told me what I need to know. I appreciate it.

Do any of you remember Indiantone enlarging paper? I recently unearthed some of my old photos made on Indiantone paper and they are beautiful. Is it still around? Who made it? Is there a...

I really meant I think I will try 1:5 for 5 minutes. Sorry about that.

I couldn't believe all the responses. I tried it. I shot 5x7 ISO 200 Arista at 100 and developed it in dilute 1:4 D72 mixed according to Steve Anchell. I got decent negatives, a little dense with...

I cut the top from a soda pop bottle and made a funnel. I stick the neck of in in the hose of an old hairdryer and put the reel inside the funnel. They dry in just a few minutes. You might need...

Do any of you old timers recall using D72 for film development? I have some 5x7 film to develop and want to use D72 as grain is not a problem with that size film. My memory says dilute about 1:4...

I have a Zone VI 5x7 enlarger. I found that the foam stripping around the head and bellows mount have rotted away after a few years. Remove the head and replace with rubber stripping that can be...

I am gearing up to make 20x24 inch black and white prints. I have everything but an enlarging easel. I'd like to find a used one versus buying new. Any ideas?

I have such a lens I bought several years ago from Freestyle. It is listed as an Arista lens. I use it on a 4x5 Zone VI VC enlarger with great results. It is sharp from edge to edge and F4.5...

Nikon has quoted $179 to send the lens to the factory in Japan for repair. I really could not ask for more. It is a beautiful piece of work. Hopefully, it will be what I expect when it returns.

Thanks for your inputs. Today I developed 12 sheets of 4x5 HP-5 in D-23 with running water between developer and fixer. I have some pinholes, but no as many. I don't believe they are "dust spots"...

I have for years processed sheet film and have been bothered with occasional pinholes in the emulsion. I've tried presoaking the film, using water instead of stop bath, and I still have them. Today...

I appreciate your comments. I called Nikon Parts on the west coast and they told me to forward the lens to their New York facility where they would probably send it back to the factory for fitting a...
