let me add that a main aesthetic difference of hp vs tx/txp is grain structure, while hp has the peak graininess in the mid grays tx/txp has more in...

I think there's nothing wrong with that. Every minute spent on digging into technical details is a minute not spent on making images. I know, because...

koraks and Pere Casals thank you very much for your answers, the time difference makes more sense to me now. I must confess, I have been using TriX...

There are several reasons explaining development time difference. One is crystal shape, cubic crystals (HP5) expose less surface to chem for the...

While these films serve similar purposes, they are of course completely different products from different manufacturers. There is no hard...

Thank you very much for your answer and all the advices, much appreciated. I will go for 13 minutes then, and see what it brings.

It's not flickr... this is an old issue... Just check you upload sRGB, see exif from you file. Also be careful with Ps because you have several...

May I ask why he sent it back? I really wish there was more information about the unit out there as it's an attractive proposition for the supposed...

Checking the Ilford datasheet on HP5+, it states 13 min for 1+1 ID-11. Because D76 and ID11 are more or less the same developer, I would use this...

As a first lens i would advise you to get something in the 135mm - 150mm - 180mm area. And when you have planned to do portraits: a 210mm will do...

The stuff you have will have turned a darker colour due to age. Having said that, the current product starts off a lighter colour than the older...

Very beautiful, Steven! I like the bright spot of sky upper right; it balances the lighter area on the rocks in the image center.

A heater coil with a thermostat circuit (eg thermometer hooked up to an arduino hooked up to a relay/thyristor) should do the trick. A fairly large...

Thanks, nice app! Thus far I used Cadrage, but that app is only for composition and doesn’t tell me how the tonal scale would come out. I wonder if...

The "information" in the MDC is of unspecified and uncontrolled origin. Even without definite proof, I tend to believe that the manufacturer supplied...

I have one, a great lens. It was Kodak's top-of-the-line Tessar at the time, but they made more f/6.3 Commercial Ektars, which were also great...

Definately not 400mm. That size is a 300mm lens. I have two with exactly the same size.

Unfortunately, changing film format and/or focal length seems to be a bit of a hit and miss affair. Most often, changing the value does not result in...

It is a very useful app, in principle. However, I do not seem to be able to make the „spot meter“ function work. On tapping within the preview, the...

Does anyone know how the film moved to the back of the film holder? I know the film was thiner than standard 4X5 sheet film as it had to make a 180...

One thing is hard remembering what looked like. It was definitely moody and the sky was very colorful. I am not sure the cliffs were quite so red. I...

I resized using photoshop. The jpg and original look the same, butvwhen uploaded, the file is altered. I dont have control over what flickr does...

I liked my original I didn't increase saturation though. In factI pulled it down. It does appear to be cooked as you say. The blown out part I am not...

+1 for Carol - she's fixed several shutters for me - but the turn-around isn't particularly quick
