Darkroom Renovation Phase 1

Looks like you have a lot of stuff!

I use an Omega B-22XL with a color head which I use for VC B&W paper.

Electronic timer.

No color anymore.

Plus a micro to warm up chemicals. It’s Minnesota!

Thanks Bill! Good to hear from you.

New 8x10 Kodak Basket Line Installed 1 by Nokton48, on Flickr

I have decided to finally set up by Kodak 8x10 Hard Rubber Tanks, with floating lids, and Kodak Film Baskets. I can do 18 8x10's in a run, or 48 sheets of 4x5. Or 18 rolls of 120 film in a go. I think I will start with Replenished D23 as a starter. I have 500 sheets of 8x10 HRU, as well as multiple boxes of various 8x10 films. I just bought a fresh box of Arista 200 8x10 (On Sale) which I think is FOMA 200. Also I have an 8x10 Kodak Hard Rubber Wash Tank, it is in the front right, hooked up well and running great.

Patio Blinds Pecoflex Swing Movement Test by Nokton48, on Flickr

Plaubel Makiflex with Pecoflex Adapter 240mm f4.5 chrome barrel Xenar Ilford 9x12cm Ortho+ Legacy Mic-X replenished 18 min tray 8x10 Arista #2 Multigrade dev. 30 degree camera front swing to the right, the refocus as needed aligned the film to the patio blinds, which I thought were in interesting light. 2 1/2 minute exposure at f22. Learning to use the highly adjustable Pecoflex Attachment with homemade bag bellows. It is fun to figure out how all this old stuff really works on the job. Taken while I was feeling very incarcerated during the covid lockdown
