quote of the day: I am affordable and always show up on time! Priceless!!!

Have you compared the Profoto Softlight beauty dish vs a similar knockoff? Curious if that’s also as similar.

Wel..it aint made by Rollei its just a name added to a rebadged film by a German film firm.

Hello There, Hope you are well. I got one question: how many EVs correspond to 0.10 density Thank you: Tamas

I really appreciate how much great information you provide on your channel. In this video I learned that I don’t need to use the stabilizer since it is baked into the film. I use Kodak Photo-Flo 200.

Fuck uhm you the man

Do you have a video about replacing the clamping locks on a 23CIII?

Why wouldn't you shoot it at box? Not a fair comparison.

Thanks! It helps a lot!

Another nice vid. Thank you for your efforts and information.

thank you !

That is the purpose of Holga is make you insane. Holga is surprise. Photography

It can only be Fomapan 400. It definitely doesn't look like Ilford film, so there's only Foma left.

I like your film comparisons! Thank you

Thank you for your efforts into this serie of videos!

I found the Photographic Chemistry book in the online book archive. ia600906.us.archive.org/33/items/photchem/photchem.pdf

The challenge I have is the ball heads always sag a bit with my camera on it. Haven't really found a solution to it.

I found a roll of HIE at a flea market a few weeks ago and came here for tips on shooting it. Sorry to hear about this!!

I just watched your comparison video again and am going to dig out my 2 enlarging lenses and will buy the Helicoid Lens Mount. I just recently purchased a used Sigma 105mm f2.8 D EX macro lens along with the 35mm and 120 VLADS Test Targets so I should be all set. I plan to test both setups at f8 & f11 to see which is the sharpest. I figure since I'm spending a lot of time scanning, I will use the sharpest setup on all my negatives. Thanks for the comparison.

Hahaha, just realised I've been overcomplicating my printing process for over 3 decades, lol. Thanks for busting the myth! I got told to use paper during my first darkroom course, and never questioned it.

1:22 I assume this development process is inspired from what I've seen from Ron Mowrey's (PE on photrio) old work from easily 20 years ago

я печатаю этим способом с 1988 года.

Honestly this is already one of the best made videos about this camera.. please make more

What's the tiny silver developer tabk?

Hope you get a real darkroom soon again. Despite your temp darkroom videos are for sure of value.

I don't like the FP4 developed in D76. It looks creamy. I prefer the Rodinal 1:50. Sharp grain and more crispy image.

Yes

Probably made in the same factory!!!

Great video just bought this today. I had a rain check for Harbor Freight got it $76 out the door. Plan to use it for paying gigs and airplane rides. I have a back pack for hiking. I just learned about the Pelican inserts today but I didn’t know about that top piece thanks again.

Speaking of the kit weight - I heard he said the best scenes were all within 50 feet of where his assistant parked the car.

Print 13x18 cm, the trays don’t require that much space, by a pop up table. Iphone has s great timer app.

Great

great, glad you are making the situation work for yourself! i've never seen a cup lid on a 1500 series tank, do you have any information about it? it would be great to have it, since i do large RC prints in a 2800 series drum which would be a waste for test strips. unfortunately when developing the strips in a tray and the final print in the drum i don't always get the same result despite trying to keep my developer equal.

Hi Greg How do you know exactly how Avedon shot ? Did you work for him or was it just research? Thanks for the info!

recently picked up one of these beauties off the flea market for $20 and I was having a blast taking photos all around the place. It was my first time using one of these cameras so I had no idea what I was doing until the end of the day when I was looking and pressing around the camera to see the film and sadly when I managed to open it up the camera had no film inside. I was so devastated because I taken some nice photos that day but at least I learned something that day, I love this camera more than my canon r10 💀

I just bought a Flic Film 8 roll ECN-2 kit 3 weeks ago and it already appears to be exhausted after 5 rolls because my last cartridge of Vision3 came out so faint it was unusable. All I know is I developed a roll of Gold 200 before that and the frames came out very colour cast.

The man is so freaking knowledgeable. Please listen, Intrepid!

What if I use 400mm lens with macro adapter? Is it going to be better then 50mm?

As of today, 5-30-24, kodak gold is $44 for three rolls of 36. FUJIFILM 3 rolls of 36 go's for $23. I'm thinking the math tells me what to buy.. GRINS

It looks better than the kodak gold 200. I like the colors better.

Hello, i have taken your great idea as an opportunity to build an 8x10 enlarger. Now i would like to know whether the LED panel (Neewer 66) you show can illuminate 8x10, or whether the black and white print you show is from an 8x10 negative. Thank you and best regards from Germany Wolfgang

Not gonna lie, that looks like a miserable way to make a print. Maybe build a double layer shelf over the vanity to put trays on?

You might like to play around with a Kiev 30, it seems to be a copy of the Minolta, but has a focusing adjustment it does however have less shutter speeds to use. The film cassette is slightly different, same size but a narrower film advance sprocket hole.

I click on this on May 27th of 2024 and didnt read the whole title. I am a sad panda.

Great info. I have a bit and piece collection, too. I did not know about the cup/funnel swap out. I have not used it for paper. Because I never knew about the clips... BTW if you have one of the Jobo water bath processors with a cracked or leaking base. I found a fix for it. Position the area to be repaired in as much of a level way as possible. Mask off the area with painters tape with a small tape edge turned up. To dam the area, to keep the patch from running off. The patch is ABS plumbing cement. ABS cement can be found at big box stores for gluing black sewer pipe together. This is as I understand it, ground ABS dissolved in a solvent. It is VERY runny. Brush it on and let it dry you may need a backing piece of tape if the crack is large. Let it dry and repeat to build it up.

Great video

These are so invaluable to me to see the thought process and trouble shooting involved when getting started in a basic dark room in limited space. My bathroom is about half the size of yours. I'm surprised that your little ikea wheely tray is stable enough to hold the easel. I had thought that it would rock back and forth too much. The big problem I'm currently working through is the limited counter space. So far I end up putting trays on the bottom of my shower. However, my back finds that extremely disagreeable.

Have you considered working in your kitchen at night? If you really want to print large you can use any room at night. If there is light outside some unfolded cardboad boxes can cover the windows.

Once upon a time I had very limited space for my darkroom and wanted to do print processing. I started looking into this company, Optima, as they make a system that enables vertical processing of prints. They make a “base unit,” and “chemical pods” (essentially vertical trays). Maybe it could work for you in your current space.
