Hi Patrick
I've never used the zebra product, that's why I held off commenting in your post ( I can't take another public scolding ! )
but .. I've used both the rockland and my own emulsion to do...

Nice!
I also love how anything below 1/2S vanishes everything that's not nailed down.

I've been using my oriental branded one since like 1988, works every time and worth every penny ...

yup.

I've used a post level for decades, works every time

hi Bob,

I've never used the Stearman System, but for years I've read how people have something like a love hate relationship with them ( some people love them never have issues, others have...

9GP, yikes, that's a big picture !
I do my best to scan lite, both my computer and my brain have memory cards that seem close to full :)

great photographs Kanga !

I have been here for a few years and I will never post anything anywhere full size. ( full size I see as being giant resolution and giant image size .. 7x7 at 72 dpi is...

+1 !

careful, this whole paper negative thing can be addictive ...

use photo paper expose it in daylight to get your image ( it can take 10 mins to hours depending on the light ) like you do with POP paper but don't develop/ fix it .. won't turn black. just...

I use water instead of stop bath, I use sprint speed fixer and perma wash. I don't tone anything and I use the same developer for both film and prints.

other people have more complex and...

they had their...

cause I don't even have to develop-out the prints if I don't want, I can make my own SGE in 1/2 hour and cause it's fun .. but to be honest, b+w really isn't b+w at all.

Hi Yourix

I haven't really done the exact same thing but something similar ..
no harm in trying to re-use your developer. You might find that using a universal developer ( like D72 or Ansco...

Weston turned a pepper into a nude woman, so nudists contort humans so they look like Weston's Pepper that's what I always thought ..

I've never used Lupex or it's father, Lodima but I've used a ton of Azo, their grandfather... Be aware if it is similar to that silver chloride paper, it might have a green tinge to it if developed...

im not sure about the 65mm Fujinon but I know the 65mm Schneider requires a center filter. The center filter new costs a few hundred dollars ( at least the B+W one I bought did ) and often times...

I wouldn't stress about picking things up piecemeal and cobbling things together .. there really isn't much to get TBH ..

you put the chemistry right in the drawer no need for any trays, the drawer is the receptacle .. one really only needs 1 tray/drawer. almost as easy as using wallpaper troughs .

it's a shark attack !
AI is the SHARK ..
problem is people are too emo about the whole AI tech thing
deadman's float and playing possum works every time ...

plywood resin coated works every time. so down the road if you do some process where something damp goes under your light, it's not a seep-in and contaminate situation but a wipes clean situation (...

no clue, the course description predates artificial intel. .. maybe these days cutting and pasting is considered AI ?

I went to it; nothing about it had anything to do with AI, the exhibit, the candidates, the guests, the photographs presented, nothing.

As the title reads, the final thesis exhibit is up at Lesley College of Art and Design Under Arts Center 1801 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge. It's at Porter Square right next to the old Sears Building...

good luck with your search!
