    Re: Images of mistakes - good or bad..

    This was a double negative that I realized right after I took the shot. I was initially pissed at myself since I was winding down on my available film for this trip. I actually kind of like this...

    Re: Water seal for jobo 3010

    yes the bottom can be removed for a smoother repair. As with cowanw, the bottom on my 3006 fell off naturally. I have yet to “properly” fix it. Though hot glue has worked for the meantime. The...

    Re: what went wrong -- LIGHT LEAK !

    Looks like it leaked on the top of your film holder where the dark slides in the holder. Could be because it wasn’t seated correctly on the camera back or you could have a bad seal on the top of...

    Re: Images of mistakes - good or bad..

    Couldn’t remember if this film was exposed or not and ended up creating another double negative. I think I have my process down now as not to have too many more of these mistakes. But hey, I didn’t...
  5. Re: Does anyone use a Lee Filter System on a 4x5?

  9. Re: Advice on how to get correct E6/C41 temperature on Jobo CPP3?

    My bucket heater just continues to heats up to about 160°f. The heating element in my cpp2 still functions, so once it reaches temp the machine will hold that temp on its own. The Sous Vide would be...
  10. Re: Advice on how to get correct E6/C41 temperature on Jobo CPP3?

    I have incorporated a bucket heater to get my jobo to temp within 30min from a cold start to develop e-6.
