More of the film catch-up, I took the Lubitel to NYC and ran a film through it.

Finally caught up on some film developing. Here’s four from Pensacola Beach, Florida.

If you double up the leader, put a few cm of paper from another film on the take-up reel with the film you’re loading it’ll prevent the overlap. The wind mechanism is meant for much thicker film than currently available. Glad you’re enjoying it!
Awesome! How was using it?

I had hoped to take some pinhole photos on world pinhole day, unfortunately it’s pouring with rain here. Instead, here are the first and second pinhole photos I took.

OK, duh, 24x18 is half frame.
Some interesting formats in the boxes of slides I found recently, 24x24mm and what appears to be 24x18mm I’ve never heard of a camera using that format in the 1950s and 60s.

I still use running water for wash, but my water is cheap. I’m planning on retiring to a more expensive place in a couple of years so I’ll probably switch to the Ilford method then.
I agree with consistency, I count my inversions to make sure they’re the same film to film. I do also check the wash water temperature to make sure it’s about the same as the other chemicals, in summer it comes out of the ground the right temperature, in winter I have to mix a little hot water in
Yep, and an unpopular opinion of mine, dev time and temp aren’t that critical, I dev at room temp, usually 22c/71.5f and to me the negs look just fine. 😁
MDC has always worked for me, that 12 minutes has worked on a few films this year, on a different film this shot was exposed correctly for iso 1600, 1/30 @ f4.5 if I remember correctly, the dev time looks pretty good to me.
12 minutes according to my app?
My app shows 12 minutes?
I use the Massive Dev Chart times, it gives 12 minutes for Kentmere 400 @ 1600 and that seems about right, this is the 4th film I’ve shot at that speed and the negs always look good. I have this on 14 minutes but another couple wouldn’t have hurt.

I gave the film an extra 2 minutes development, it could have used more, although I’m not at all unhappy with what I got.

I don’t, it’s not my design to sell, I downloaded the files.
I found these at a local thrift store today, someone had already bought three of them, I got the rest. It’s going to take a while to scan them!
