Does the part, in the camera body, that detects your aperture have a generic name? I have an om-4 and it doesn't return to position after closing the aperture, so after going to f22 the camera always thinks it's at f22. It's hard to search for a fix when I don't know what to call the part.

Thank you. Tab just got me stuff about lenses, sensor just got me DSLR stuff. Although "lever" is still bringing back mostly lens related problems.

I shot through a roll over the past month and let the lab scan to disk for me. But I wanted to see what kind of difference scanning positive and adjusting levels made vs what they gave me. One of these is out of my V500, the other from my local photo lab. Also I'm colorblind (which is why I barely trust to color correct my scans usually). Does one or the other look better, much righter, or much wronger than the other?

Also, forgive dadpix.

I got my hands on some Canadian Rodinal (sold as Blazinal here) and I want to try this 1+100 hour long stand development that everyone talks about. Are there different times for different films like normal development or does it all kind of even out when you do it this long? The massive dev chart doesn't really give me any specific info.

Agitate for the first 30 seconds, tap to remove bubbles, agitate 10 seconds and tap at the 30 minute mark, works for pretty much anything

The point of stand development is to 'exploit' fluid movement, the idea is that as the developer sits undisturbed it forms pockets of exhausted developer (exhausted because of the high dilution - the developer only has so much capacity to develop) around the highlights while the shadows continue to develop in areas with unexhausted developer, hence the whole 'compensating developer' thing

I did the math, and I don't think bulk loading saves enough money to be worth the time. The big upside to bulk loading is being able to load short rolls so you don't have to burn 24 frames if you want to test a new camera or whatever.

I think in the video above, he says the savings by bulk loading with Ilford film is fairly substantial since their bulk film is pretty cheap. He also says that he doesn't get much savings with Kodak bulk film.

I looked it up too and you can save like $1-1.50 per roll depending what film stock you go with. It makes sense for schools but you'd have to shoot a lot of 35mm for it to really be worth the hassle.

The biggest benefit I see is making smaller rolls. I hate 36 exposures. I'd load them at ~20 or so.

A friend gave me a bulk roll of tungsten balanced ektachrome with an ISO of 12 that I need to get out and shoot, might have a crack at x-pro as I've got some old C41 chems kicking around.

I shoot a lot of Tri-X. I don't go through the stuff like it's water, but I've definitely found my groove with it and have little intention to use much else when it comes to 35mm. It's been a while since I've shot any HP5, but I might run some test rolls given just how much cheaper it is in bulk.

oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
Looks like HP5 is $65 for a 100 foot roll, and it looks like the average roll of 36 has about 65" of film (including the leader and the end), so 18 rolls and a bit left over for $65 = $3.61 per roll plus your bulk loader and your canisters.

Buying it is $5.59 per roll of 36. You're saving about $2 per roll.


TriX is $127.79 for 100 feet, using the same calculations as above, that's $6.92 per roll, but you could buy it for $5.03 per roll. You're losing money.

TMAX is $82.79 for 100 feet, which works out to $4.59 per roll, versus $5.39 per roll to purchase. Your savings are $0.80 per roll.

All prices from Freestyle.

My bulk roll of HP5+ lasted me two years and I imagine that my Tmax roll will probably last me just as long. I don't shoot as much 35mm as I do medium format, but I found the investment to be worth it, but then again my Tmax roll was a freebie. I will say that not having to rely on stores or shipping times and just being able to say "gently caress it I'm gonna shoot some 35mm today" is kinda worth the price.

Wish I could bulk roll 120 film.

No, but a loose guess would be 2 hour semi-stand, agitate every half hour, for a 3-stop push from 400 to 3200.
