I agree. However, considering the cost of film... Id like as little error as possible.

Hi all,
I got some Lodima G3 on the way, and while the instructions on how to develop and deal with the paper is pretty well described… Im not so sure on how to expose and develop the negatives I...
Thanks for the feedback guys.
Hi all,
What would be typical printing techniques for wetplates?
And, what would a typical CI be (if there is one), and is it possible to adjust for a given printing process?
Cheers
Peter
Did anyone compare the Adox and Kodak selenium toners? Whats the difference, for film in particular?
The KISS principle is not a bad idea. Its easy to get lost in all this experimenting.
Thanks guys. When is toning done in the process? After fix and before stab? It would be interesting to test the same scene with various degrees of toning.
I also got some hydrochloric acid as well...
I mean slightly warmer ;-) I mix my own stuff using a Orwo recipe where Ive replaced the phenidone with metol. I have also mixed up some Pyrocat M for developing negatives, but Im not so sure I'll...
Im considering toners. But, if Im not mistaken, increasing the amount of potassium bromide will warm paper, maybe this works for film too. Ive also considered longer exposures to shorten the...
Hi all,
Ive been experimenting quite a bit with black and white reversal film developing, and Im getting pretty close to the look I want.
What Id like to adjust now is the tone, Id like a...
I probably prefer the 2+2+100 over the 1+1+100. But Im having a hard time deciding if it should be exposed at 200 or 320.
Thanks for the feedback everyone - much appreciated :-)
Hi all,
When storing film in freezer, is there any consideration to take when taking it in and out? Might sound like a weird question, but Im not using as much film as I used to (I stored it in...
Thanks Eric - I think I will :-)
Ive been reading over Sandy's site (http://www.sandykingphotography.com/resources/technical-writing/pyro-staining-developers) again and it seems to me that if I...
Hey. It was for two films. The TMax400 and the TMax100. The developer time was for the 400... I just threw in the 100.
If the factory writing is supposed to be black it isnt black enough.
Thanks Alan. Finding a way to not having to decide up front if youll print silver or carbon would be convenient.
Thanks. Maybe Im just not used to Pyrocat negs. Ayway... these 3 photos is from left to right - phone camera with neg on a pad lightable app, and then gamma 1 rawscan, and then gamma 2 rawscan:
...
Thanks Jim. Did you ever do silver prints with the 2:2:100 dilution too? With TMax400?
Hey and thanks. At least the negative is quite clear. Pyrocat-M and Pyrocat-HD should be almost identical in use... at least according to what Ive read on Sandys' site and on UnblinkingEye. It can be...
Hi all,
So, Ive run my first trial of developing TMax 400 in Pyrocat-M (this is also the first time Ive made and used Pyrocat). And Im not sure what to make of it, and if possible Id like som...
Thanks for good advice all,
Considering the convenience of d23 I'm likely to give that a go first :-) Are there any backsides to d23... or would that be discussing personal preference?
Cheers...
Hi,
Just out of curiosity... does anyone have any home brew developer recipes for the TMax films?
I see that there are several here: https://www.digitaltruth.com/data.php?doc=appformulas
But I...
Thanks for the feedback.
They came back to me and said that as an emergency solution black and white stabilizer and Mirasol 2000 can be used, but they dont recommend it. It will not keep as long, but they are talking about a...
Will do - thanks Drew.
It says 24 weeks: https://www.digitaltruth.com/products/tetenal_tech/Tetenal-Colortec-E6-3-Bath-Kit-2.5L-Instructions.pdf
Its probably gonna be good for longer :-)
I usually mix up 500ml. No need to mix up the entire thing. It has shorter shelf life mixed up.
Ahem... I actually have that book... Thanks :-) But good point. I suppose its just as easy making test strips from a cut 16x20.
There is a thing under the lens I can move in front of it it I want...
Hi all,
I've been comparing PQ, Dokumol and Dektol with TMax100 (at 25+50+100 iso) and TMax400 (at 100+200+400 iso). I don't get good results with Dokumol and Tmax400 and I don't understand why....
I tried filling and emptying the paper drums today just to see how long that took. I tried with both a 3063 expert drum and a 2830 drum. The kind of drum didnt seem to matter much (considering the...
I have never tried the Bellini kit but Tetenals Colortec kit is brilliant. You can read abit here (it is Tetenal about Tetenal):...
The fill and drain time of the Jobo drums is why I tried with trays. With the 3005 drums you pretty much have to start draining as soon as youve filled it up. Particularly if you are timing as...
Thanks Drew - I'll keep that in mind ;-)
Good evening,
And thanks :-)
I am using a Durst M670 Color. Ive been using both trays room temp (3 first), and a Jobo CPA2 (tempering bath at 35C) with lift and a Expert Drum 3005 (the 4th.)....
Thanks guys - appreciate this :-)
Thanks guys. Are both of you doing this in drums at 35/95 degrees? How particular are you about timing your baths?
Hi all,
I just took some time off work to try to figure out how to do RA4 printing. I tried both in trays at room temp and in drums at 35 Celsius / 95 Fahrenheit.
I used the same neg and tried...
Still waiting.
Bernice, the goal would be to get a digitized copy that contains as much as possible of the original information. Today I use a drumscanner I got at a reasonable price - and it works quite well.
...
This is more interesting then I thought it would be. As far as I understand, though, is that a APO-corrected lens is useful for reproduction and scanning (with dslr) large format negatives with,...
