Hi Keith,
IÂ’ve owned a number of folders, in 6x9 and 6x6. All have been good, but each have their own pros and cons. Some comments:

For rendering snow as clean, pure white, I would suggest looking for a very neutral-toned film, such as Kodak Ektar, or Fuji Pro 400H if you can find it (discontinued some time ago). I'm not sure how...

Hi John - it's a half bottle of Ilford Rapid Fixer which went dead that prompted me to try this. I buy it in 1L size, and this one kipped before I could finish it. At a few dollars for a can of...

I’m going to go back to developing time here. I’m guessing for DDX you would have used about 8 to 10 min developing time, right? That’s a lot longer than the times you used for HC110 at Dilution B. ...

Yes, from all accounts, incl. Kodak's tech sheet, the relationship between dilution and dev. time is linear with HC110.

So if Dil. H is half that of Dil. B, then use double the time as for B. ...

Hi Logan,

I'm not sure if you would risk exhaustion at Dilution H, at least with a single roll in a double tank (@7.5ml syrup). Note that Covington talks about 6ml syrup per roll as a minimum;...

+1 I agree with this.

Logan, if I could suggest a couple of things that would be worth trying:

1. For HC110, try unofficial Dilution H, which is half of Dilution B and doubles the...

Hi Pete,

If you have a Patterson or other tank that takes two rolls of 135, and you use, say, ID-11 at 1+1, then these bottles will be useful. I have started saving some 300ml sport drink bottles...

Hi Pete,

I think with respect to such costs in film photography, it helps to take the long view. Consider whether this is a camera you would enjoy using for, say, the next ten or more years. If...
