Thank you, everybody, for your responses. I have learned a lot from your replies. Looks like I'm adding a few of the Junior red safelight bulbs to my next B&H order or trip. In the meantime I am...

Nevermind. Kodak's website explained it. If the lightbulb is not specifically made as a safelight bulb it is probable not safe regardless of how it looks to the naked eye.

Also; the first sign...

If the lens has a little bit of fungus rendering it unusable as an enlarger lens just carefully disassemble the lens and wipe the fungus off with a little bit of bleach. You have nothing to lose and...

When I set up my darkroom over 13 years ago I started with a clean slate; an open floorplan basement and no electrical fixtures in the corner where I wanted the darkroom. This allowed me to make a...

I have shot some chromes in the past in 35mm, 6x6 and 4x5. The 35mm slides are the only ones I was ever able to enjoy through a projector. I have a while book full of 6x6 and 4x5 as well as a few...

Tri-X which has been stored for twelve years in a damp basement is a delicacy to mildew. Actually that holds for Plus-X, Tech Pan and Portra 160 VC as well.

Thank you.

Can you post a link directly to said chart?

I just cracked open my first box of sheet film in about twelve years; Kodak T Max 100. The first thing to surprise me was the absence of processing instructions. The people at Kodak who design the...

I don't know if this has been recommended yet but a fluorescent light can be made into a safelight. I do realize this is not what you are looking to achieve but this seems tangentially relevant to...

Got all new stuff today. I am set.

First question: Is there any 4X5 color print film available in quantities greater than packs of ten sheets?

Next question: What is a practical replacement...

I too just had my first experience with old paper. It was fun to print for the first time in ten years but I am throwing out a lot of unused paper.

Yeah, the enlarger got an internal swabbing down with bleach and then a more thorough and attentive cleaning with lens cloths. Only one of the lenses, my 90mm Wollensak has fungus between the...

I s'pose that $70 is not much to invest in a set of filters made to work worth the paper I will use for the next few years or whenever the last box of Ilford rolls off the line.

For rolls I use the stainless spiral reels in stainless tanks. For 4X5 I use a Stainless Nikkor tank :) I have a few Bar-Ray x-ray development tanks with an assortment of hangers for when the time...

During my recent restoration of my darkroom I came across a few pouches of old chemicals which had to be at least ten years old. I found a few pouches of Dektol, one of which was opened by the...

I was introduced to the revolving doors when I took two semesters of photography in college. I thought they were pretty nifty. If I was as wealthy as I am good looking I would have put one on my...

Last week I calculated a fast-n-dirty burnout rate for Kodak. I estimated that Kodak will cease to be on or around...

Guys, you are all missing the important picture here. If we use alternatives to manufactured-for-photography chemistry Kodak's profit and viability may suffer. If anybody else starts to use...

I weatherstripped my standard swinging door with Aluminum/Vinyl weatherstripping from Home Dumpo. For the bottom I placed a low and wide aluminum saddle and a door sweep which presses up against the...

Bob, Read the following pdf. Public Law 86-272 seems applicable in your situation.

Actually, New York sales tax returns for the third quarter were due yesterday.

There are also voltage regulators available for the Zinc-Air or Alkaline batteries which just slip over the end of the battery and keep the jolts at the right level.

Having seen these pictures makes me want to go rummage through my old bedroom closet in my Parents' to see if I can find the pinhole shots I made in eight grade art class with a hand made pinhole...

Quickbooks Pro. That is the simplest and cheapest package out there and has all you need in an accounting package for a small business.

Well, I am an accountant With a practice in New York. I don't have any horror stories of my own. Clients of mine, that's a different story. Sales tax problems are why many of my clients came to me...

What question is that?

During my recent re-entry into large format photography I found a Polaroid 545 film holder which I forget I even had and I cant for the life of me remember how I got it. At first I was really...

What is the experience around here with Media Street Ink2Image replacement inks and refillable cartridges?

I have developed the habit of keeping my eyes open looking for light in places where it does not belong.

Brian, that Twitter posting was an interesting read. Not because it was informative but because it just shows how corporate mangers are just not capable of telling the truth. I just took a quick...

Again thank you for your responses. I am so glad I found this forum. Until last night I thought B&H was the be-all-end-all of photographic supply, mostly because I can stop by the store after work...

I just perused the chemical section of B&H and It looks to me like I could get the chemicals to process E-6 although in much larger quantities than I used to. I really will miss that seven part 5L...

Daniel and Brian, thank you very much for your responses. After writing my opening post I hit B&H's website and drew up a matrix of what ISOs I like which are available in my favorite formats; 120...

Executive Summary: What B&W films are currently in production that are as fine grained as Tech-Pan 25 was?
