Re: Happiness is a new tank

I prefer my steel tanks overall; but I wish solutions would pour in and out as fast as they do with the Paterson tank. I haen't developed any film for quite a while now, but I recently bought a second Combi-Plan tank for sheet film. It does 4x5 inch, quarter plate or 6.5x9 cm. You don't see them for...

I have a Pro account, and use AdBlock Plus and NoScript (though I've allowed most of the script). I haven't noticed a change in behaviour yet.

Re: Zeca 6x9 folder

I also use Kiwi polish, but sometimes mix a little dubbin with the polish; it's a softer oily/fatty waterproofing stuff that I have originally for walking boots.

Re: If anyone cares, Microsoft is ending forum support for these products

I have a small box of 3.25" discs, saved from a larger collection of 'really important stuff' I never needed for ten years or more, because they have the shutter part made of aluminium, and I have found it's good stuff for home-made pinhole plates. Flat, reasonably stiff, and the pinhole-making...

Re: Camera for a trip

I haven't had any problem with the machines they use for carry-on bags; the machine they use on the luggage checked into the hold left plainly visible wavy lines when I left some film in my case accidentally.

Re: SLR MF camera to begin

I have a 645 Pro, shamefully neglected. Without the prism finder it would be only half the camera; but I wouldn't be without the WLF either.

Re: Agfa Selectaflex

Is there a common rear lens group behind the shutter, as on the Canon EX-EE?
