As discussed previously, it has been noted there is a contaminant that causes it to turn brown when mixed. However, I have used it and it still works fine.
Good point Doremus about getting lost in the rabbit hole. At my level of experience I should probably take a more lenient approach initially instead of trying to fine tune things prior to going out...
My best guess is the SET might be useful for eliminating the enlarging time as a variable when determining film development times for N+ and N-.
Everyone...my apologies for sending you down the wrong path. See, I warned you this was new territory for me. :) What I should have said was Standard Enlarging Time (SET). I was trying to find...
Ok, so this is new territory for me. In an effort to gain more control over my exposure and development process, I am trying to find my film speed (.1 over film base + fog) for TMAX 400. With the...

Anyone know of a lab I can send my 4x5 negative to so I can get a reading? Looking to find base plus fog negative value 0. Interestingly, I nave vision problems where I have trouble differentiating...
I have a question relative to having a business card created, so I hope it is appropriate to piggyback onto the original question.
I am a bit hesitant about including my personal information on a...
Greetings everyone:
I would like to reach out to any LF photographers in the area. I am familiar with 35mm but new to LF. I have some gear and finishing up on my darkroom since recently moving. ...
Thanks Alan, I know that area well...I am near 6 Flags.
Hello everyone, I'm very excited about becoming part of this group of LF enthusiasts.
I am recently retired and have had an interest in B&W photography for 40 years and LF for about 20. However,...
