Oh, no problem at all. At work they kept calling me zweiwolf, duowolf, biwolf, doublewolf, etc. Those sysadmins were bored out of their wits I think.
I got bored myself and made a macro abstract (phone preview to test my new 4x5 LED light plate)

I have a question, if nobody minds me asking. I've lurked here for a long time, but have never had a reason to post...
After reading a large chunk of this thread, I'm still unsure on which film I want to buy. I never bothered with xray film in 4x5, since Arista Edu 100 is so cheap, but recently decided to play with 5x7, and my film options are far more limited and more expensive. Xray seems to be the budget hero. My plan is to buy 8x10 stock, cut it down, notch the sheets, and then strip the emulsion from the 'back' side. I'd probably just contact print the negs, since I only have a 4x5 enlarger.
What's a reliable go-to film/developer combination to start with? I was planning to dev with rodinal 1:100 in a print drum (hence stripping the back side off, since usually my negs stick to the inside of the drum). I was planning to buy either Fuji HR-T green, or Carestream's private label Kodak green product.
I discovered from this thread that ektascan is one sided: http://www.zzmedical.com/8x10-in-car...ideo-film.html Might cut the need for the stripping part out of your plan. I use rodinal 1:100 and pyrocat-hd 2:2:100 with the kodak green, but I use a slosher tray made from acrylic cut out with a laser cutter similar to the one that photo formulary has. Thanks, Will
Yes, I also reccomend Kodak's Carestream Ektascan as it is not only one sided, but has anti haloid backing. When you cut your film to fit your holders, just make a notch in the cutoff piece match the one left from the 8X10 sheet. Rodinal works very well, and so does D-23. I like a water bath rinse as well.Quote:

Remember to keep the existing notch in the upper right corner when cutting. Then notch the other one the same way (emulsion side up, notch upper right corner.)Quote:
