It's really not a good idea to get it in the eyes. That goes for either acid. Flush the eye with water for many minutes.
Wow. Beautiful print!
Using Tween *and* making sure HPR is humid enough is highly recommended.
Humidifying with steam 40s - 2min works. But with large papers brushing on distilled water can be easier. Wet the brush and...
Why do you keep picking on people who love darkroom work?
Don't know about wild cards. But Fomapan 400 is brilliant if you are making portraits in cool north light. Wonderful skin tones. The speed is OK, don't expect more than EI 200.
I like your portrait. I wonder if more exposure would give better detail in the shadows, or if it would just ruin the highlights on green X-ray film.
If the lens isn't super heavy, cut a piece of thick matt board and make a hole slightly smaller than the lens threads. Paint it black and screw it on like a retaining ring.
I know it's been a long time since you used this film, but what were your problems with extended development of Fomapan 200?
I've only used the 5000 on Windows.
From (hazy) memory:
-The serial connection activates when you power up the machine and says "Hello World.." etc. If you don't listen at power up you can't see...
Using the same barrel and rings when you assemble it again?
I've had success with pipe clamps and a hammer with stubborn lenses. Just give it 1000 light taps instead of one hard blow, and make...
Gebr. Schreck Feinmechanik GmbH & Co will make you a Sinar style cable release if you email them. They have standard lengths up to 100cm and can probably make any length you need.

Thanks for sharing Jim! That looks very useful.
Thanks for the video!
Also nice tubes (in video #2) with developer in the lid.
I've found that the most important setting in scanning, is giving the correct amount of exposure. This is especially true working with consumer grade scanners.
These scanners don't have a linear...

And clean the glass.
I learned something from the article. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, noted. But what makes them unsuitable for FB processing? Final wash could be done in a washer if thats the problem, no?
Thanks Greg and Vaughn for your comments! It sounds workable enough. And I agree with you Vaughn, the strengths/quirks of the camera really affect how you "see" and expose.
The Chamonix 57 N3 seems like a fine field camera, well designed and light. But it's horizontal only. I wonder if anyone here has worked with it, or a similar camera. Would tilting the whole camera...
