My Photax dish warmer has finally given up and I was considering wether a cloth type plate warmer (around 4 ' long and running on @65 Watts) would be a suitable replacement. One of the advantageuos I...

I'm not 100% sure of the exact nature of the problem, so forgive me if I miss the mark.
The waviness of the film could be caused by faulty transport winding on (I have seen this occurence), or by...

Michael, I find Tetenal Eukobrom to be neutral with a wide range of papers - I did have a brief run with the Adox MCC, which was very good, and may do some more with it.

Mike,
Odourless fixer is usually acid - often citric - though I think there is a neutral pH fix by Rollei. Unfortunately FX 40 isn't widely stocked, though I've had it direct from Fotospeed before...

To Folker

Hi Marek, yes, pretty much. The first 3 inversions follow each other over around the first 40-50 seconds, not spaced precisely but fairly constant movement, so the developer will still be in motion...

Hello, Marek, are you able to rule out light leaks from film loading or the darkslides or wear to the camera back plate ? Just a thought, as the edge markings wouldn't shout out development streaks...
