And readily achievable with regular (solvent) developers and basic process/ exposure controls... Especially when most of these claims of mystical characteristics of staining developers are based off...
Sorry Mark, but the two main staining developers are respectively a muddled variant on Beutler and a D-76 derivative modified to stain. Most of the effects attributed to the 'stain' (really just a...
You clearly haven't done the baseline work Drew and that's the end of it. We don't need yet another lecture on how to cut off the branch you are sitting on.
Facts of the matter are that the 3...
Don't assume that the seemingly more manual packs from the 303/404/606 etc series are any less electronic under the case (or easier to repair).
There's some really garbled nonsense on here. Almost all 'general purpose' films (i.e. Tmax's 100 & 400, HP5+, FP4+, Delta 100, Super-XX 4142) will deliver the 'straight line' characteristic people...
For Kodak, PXT/ 4147, Ektapan/ EKP/ 4162, Super-XX/ 4142 all claimed two-sided retouch tooth - i.e. all the mainstream stuff. Some colour materials too. If they didn't, you could add it at...
Monohydrate, not anhydrous. If you've been using 80g/l of anhydrous, then that's a bit of a problem for any meaningful comparisons.
And you don't think that any other developer at a stronger dilution with more metol or phenidone wouldn't do incredibly similar things? There seems to be pretty fundamental ignorance that a developer...
And did you try Multigrade or Liquidol at 1+6 or 1+4?
At 1+1, 130 has something like 50% more carbonate than Dektol/ D-72 at 1+2, nearly triple the amount of KBr, and more developing agents. A...
That was my recollection too - I would not be surprised if something similar made its way into the emulsion for the FBCT - in fact it would make a lot of sense as it would make the emulsion colour...
I think the clues tend to suggest that PMT for cold, modified phenidones/ blends of phenidones for warm were the outcome of the research - along with hints about where ascorbates could be exploited....
Ilford Multigrade developer also uses PMT from what I recall - not that I'd expect the incredibly precious defenders of Ansco 130 to accept that 130 is pretty chemically questionable (or at least...
Finding information about anything IFF seems about 10x more difficult than Durst - that said, there are only so many ways you can wire these things. A careful look inside should give you the answers...
The control at the bottom right lets you control the buzzer volume from off to very loud. Having worked with both, I don't particularly care for either version - but the plastic one is an ok process...
That would make 3 completely different series of lenses that Rodenstock gave the same name to...
Anyway, it's a fast Cooke triplet - and there are only so many ways to skin that cat - the Cooke...
Ysarex = Tessar.
I think the OP is referring to a Eurynar (not Eurygon, which is retrofocus) which is a 4/4 design - i.e. plenty sharp, but not as low flare as later 4/4 designs like the Apo Ronar...
I really doubt it's a prototype, the thing that's slightly puzzling is that the paint texture almost looks more like the later black paint than the Norma paint texture.
More importantly however,...
Resurrecting this thread as this is an example of the 'Simple Shutter' that Sinar made for the Norma, along with the more common one with full speed range.
'M' = 1/25
It's effectively a Sinar...
PQ Universal on HP5+ might also be an option, it'll give the highlights a good kick. Though I've often found that whenever people start stating they're significantly overexposing TXP, it's usually...
That's quite a denial of the methodology that Ralph Gibson used for decades, and which actually works to produce intense grain.
It just requires a bit of creatively applied understanding of the...
Fomapan does the job, on the understanding that if it was qualitatively level with HP5+, it would be at least level in price (Foma said as much) - but for the average 8x10 hobbyist, it's more than...
HP5+ isn't flat if you respect its relatively higher shadow speed and don't develop it in questionable concoctions.
From the sounds of it, you spent your time trying to negate TXP's...
They are nothing like as complex as some on this thread seem desperate for you to believe. With the right tools and a little common sense you can get them cleaned up and running much faster than you...
They can have a bit of backlash, but if well adjusted are pretty easy to land focus repeatedly.
You'd be more likely to knock your own head off centre...
I'd also like to know which Durst designer thought it was a brilliant idea to put the head turn lock control in a position on the left of...
How to state that you've never used a De Vere 504 without stating that you've never used a 504...
For the record, I do work with 138's as well as De Vere's and the Durst's biggest strength is...
KHB will be your best bet local to you (they even have a list of all the variants/ accessories De Vere did/ do for the 507) - unlike the bigger Durst condensers, all the De Vere condenser heads use a...
See if you can get your hands on the condenser head for the 507 - head changeover is ridiculously simple (thankfully). From what I recall, the condenser system had Rodenstock's involvement in the...
Compact: MPP Micromatic or the enlargers it was clearly licensed off - Omega E3/ E4. They have cam driven lens-matched autofocus and aren't huge. Heads are almost all cold-cathode. Column is more...
The 'stain' is really a coupler forming a dye via oxidation (and a not very good one at that). If there are higher levels of oxygen scavengers and the like in a coating structure, this will affect...
'Tipped in' is the phrase you're looking for. You paste the print down the edge nearest the book spine (and make sure your print paper's grain direction is correct) and stick it on. You can also...
OP's is the later column revision (the black/ grey paint ones as opposed to the cream/ brown ones) that has a different profile shape to resolve wear problems that emerged with the power/ autofocus...
It's one of the better ways of making one-offs and is not difficult if you have decent bookbinding skills or know a good bookbinder. The main thing you will rapidly learn is the need to compensate...
Remarkably good, with a few mild quirks. More power than an Ilford MG500.
It's absolutely fine for the job - the problem is there's a fair bit of contradictory information out there. And it isn't difficult to get a G5 filter to where you need it, if you really need it.
...
The baseboard is 60x60cm, the whole thing will easily fit in most estate cars, never mind a van, without removing the baseboard from the base casting. Do the least dismantling you need to.
As...
Speak with KHB Photografix before you move the thing. They will probably be happy to walk you through how not to hurt yourself or the enlarger.
De Vere's are not difficult to move if you aren't...
The MKV dichroic uses 2x250w, all the other De Vere made 504 dichroics are 1x250w. Not sure where you got the idea of 3x bulbs from.
August in Scotland, especially on the coast, is usually pretty sunny - maybe the odd downpour, but it's windy enough (particularly in the northern isles) that it's often gone much faster than you'd...
The city centre is relatively sheltered, but then you have to go to somewhere on The Scores...
