It's my experience with older films that they don't perform well due to base fog. If you have anything important to photograph I'd forego using the outdated material. In the scheme of things, film...

Hi, Sexton recommended in a very early ( 1980s!) article to use 1:9 ( mix part B into the part A.) Then dilute. TMax 100 he recommended at 13 minutes at 75 degrees. That's quite a bit of time...

I am new to the TMax RS developer. I comes in 2 parts, A & B. Suggests you mix both to make a working solution of 1 gallon. I have 2 questions? One, in order for the developer not to bad, is it...

Wanted to Buy a 6x6 Zone Vl negative carrier for the Zone Vl 4x5 2nd generation enlarger. For 2 1/4 square negatives.
Thanks!

I have the variable contrast Zone VI 4x5 Enlarger. My Zone VI enlarger timer has been steadily slowing down and wanted to know if anyone may know if anyone still services this component? I realize...

Thanks very much Jan! Will do as you suggest.

I'm new to T-Max 100 and roll film and am seeking some information on processing in T-Max RS Developer? I am shooting a Hasselblad. Rated the film at ISO 50. Will be processing in Kinderman...

I have a project which I developed and at the urging of my 28 year old son I've been posting images on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook every other day for 6 weeks. You can review samples here if...

Alan, Thanks. I'm leaning toward the 300mm if I can find one in my price range.

Thanks for kind reply. I can extend the rail system on the Sinar with an extension and the bellows extended long enough for a 360.

I am looking to add a longer lens to my lens battery for 4x5. I used to own a 360mm Tele Xenar lens. As a single coated lens it was just OK, but the price was right. I am wondering, if my longest...

David Wood is now based in Denver, Colorado. He does lovely work! He can both process negs with his nitrogen burst processor and create the b&w transparencies. Highly recommended!

Many thanks Doremus!

Thanks Tim, Like the idea of rotating the direction very much. This should make a significant difference.

I'm seeing streaking in neutral areas, and at times some staining. Uneven density. Thanks for responding.

Development time anywhere from 4 minutes to 6 minutes. 5x7 trays. 32 oz. of developer. Tray plenty deep. continuous shuffling of film throughout. Half way through rotate film 180 degrees.

Hi, As for tray processing 2 questions to avoid irregularity. How long do you presoak the negs in water? When you shuffle the film are you doing so very slowly? I process up to 5 sheets per time...

Recently some of my 4x5 negatives have shown irregularity in sky areas. I process in trays. HC100 Dilution B. I do a water pre soak and then shuffle up to 5 sheets of film for desired time.
My...

Jeff,
Sadly isn't that the truth!!!!

A friend gave ma a gallon of TMax Developer cat no. 159 9844. It says for foll films only? There are no part A and B, just this concentrate which when mixed one to four makes 5 gallons of working...

I've recently come into some T-Max 100 sheet film, and some T-Max RS Developer. What is the "normal" development time using tray development? I realize that Kodak rates the film at 100 ISO and...

" I have used the Ilford MG warm tone and thought it was good. I was a huge fan of Agfa Portriga and later of Forte's Fortezo Glossy surface. I would also be very content with the old Agfa Brovira...

Can anyone suggest a fiber paper. I'm not thrilled with Ilford MC FB. How is the Adox paper? And, not familiar with Arista paper either which I see can be purchased at Freestyle in California....

Hi,
I happen to have a Rochester View 11x14 for sale. The dark slides are damaged. The lens is fogged. The bellows does extend. It's a lovely old item. Lens board has a slight crack. It is...

I'm an admirer of the Fortezo/Forte paper. This was luscious warm brown black
fiber paper. It is sadly now discontinued. I've tried Ilford's multi grade warm toned fiber and am not terribly...
