By the way stand dev with HC-110 or Ilfotec HC is exactly the same as stand with R09. Same dilutions, same times, same procedures.

Having re-rolled film onto backing paper in the past, I can say with certainty that this sounds like a giant pain in the dick.

I have a bunch of 220 that my girlfriends dad gave me from his freezer stock but I have no idea what to do with it.

Pretty sure I can shoot it with my Pentax 67 right? What's different about it?

220 is twice the film but the same size spool because it has no backing paper. You need to swap pressure plates to use it or your shots will all be out of focus. The p67 takes 220 yeah

just make sure to move the 120 switch to 220 and you are golden.

Yup, the backing pressure plate slides from 120 to 220, and there's also that screw on the side that you rotate from 120 to 220.
The back will also say 220 once you slide the pressure plate over.

ISO 800 and below are fine for the carry-on x-ray machines and all of my other film went through those just fine. It's the x-ray machines for the checked luggage you need to worry about.

tl;dr never ever ever put your film in checked luggage, at the very least if you're traveling to the US.

Just to add on that. >800 is ok through carry-on too. It's all about how many times you go through. I can't remember where, but I think kodak even put out some numbers on how many passes is ok.

As a note, I had to put my 3200 film through 3 carry-on xray passes on a recent trip. No problems.

Question about dust spotting B+W.

This is a partially processed negative. Shot on Ilford 3200 B+W.

I've been noticing that the spot healing tool does a really poor job when it comes to grain like this. It basically just creates a blur, which is fine for color films at a lower ISO. For this though, it seems pretty noticeable. Is there a better way to do dust spotting? Should I just clone stamp it?

It's particularly noticeable to the left of his head.

Spot Healing Brush with Type set to "content-aware" works really good, I found. Type "proximity match" might work well too, especially at duplicating the grain.

I never have an issue with content aware spot healing but in older versions I would have to use the patch tool sometimes if it did that mushy grain thing.

I feel like a dick for asking TSA to hand check my 400 now, but to be fair, the common consensus is that there's no reason to use film over digital, so I don't really expect them to care/know about minor imperfections due to Xrays. This is good info.

VVV that's exactly my point

And yet there's still no reason to have your 400 speed film hand-checked (out of your carry-on, clearly) because that won't happen unless it's in a checked bag.

Yeah, this, and I think the spot healing brush has a "create texture" option that samples the surrounding texture.

Oh well then if manually selecting a heal source (or the create texture thingy) doesn't work then I suggest using the patch tool on a larger area and then if you have to heal out the edges of that.

Is Astia as good as everyone says? I found myself 10 rolls of it tonight - 35mm though. Wish it was 120 but I can't complain. Expired 2002 but refrigerated.

I shot some expired Portra 400NC. Is there any compensation I can do for it in development or did I gently caress up by just shooting it at box speed? I shot some expired Ektachrome at box speed that was was stored in the same conditions and those came out fine, but I don't know about Portra.

Portra NC was introduced in... 2006, I think? When did yours expire? You might want to push it a stop, but I really doubt it's expired enough to make a huge difference.

Heavy cyan cast usually means that it was stored hot.

Portra 160NC just gets cyan. I had some 20 count boxes bought from a pro that had always been frozen and they had a tinge to them at 3+ years old.

No clue. I bought them at a used gear sale at a photography school so I assume they were stored properly.

I use the healing tool (not the spot healing tool) with clone stamp and content-aware fill for larger sections as needed.
