    Re: PyrocatHD no tan (?)

    Andrew: I'm curious what changes - if any - you're making to your HP5 working ISO or developing time when you run 1 + 1 + 50 this way?

    Re: how to notch film holder

    Thanks everyone. This is a great list. Yesterday I notched 6 holders which took a while. Fact is it was a waaaaay longer while than I expected. First I put the film holders on the camera and marked...

    Re: how to notch film holder

    Actually, there's a decent youtube on notching film holders. The trick though I believe is to let the holder record the notches when you remove the darkslide with film in it actually in the camera....
