I'm so glad my mom found this Kalloflex that my dad had. Still get used to composing with it though.

What is this??
Are you some kind of hypnotist??

Can anyone tell me if I have the exposure compensation figured out properly on my Mamiya C220? There is a guide on the side of the camera that shows a bar with numbers across it. At infinity, it says 1x, and as you focus closer it shows numbers 1.5, 2, 3 and eventually 4 at the closest focus distance. Does this mean I should multiply my exposure by the number indicated? So when the number is at 2x, I should increase by +1 stop? Does that mean a 1.5x exposure would be a half stop? 4x is +2 stops so that makes sense, so would 3x be +1.5 stops?. I don't know why they just didn't give you +/- stop values and instead used this weird multiplier method.

I have a Jobo CPP2 and I've been using a Jobo 2560 drum with print clips to do 2 sheets at a time, but I just bought a Jobo 3005 so I can do 5 sheets at a time :getin:

Thats right, I knew I'd asked before. I'm resurrecting a Unicolor print drum that I forgot I had to do some 8x10 developing, plumbing supplies are working well. The only problem is that it has not ribs in it all, completely smooth internal surface.

Then it's not a unicolor paper drum which is the one with the raised ribs. The film drum was flat inside.

You'll start giving no fucks about the process really fast, after the first few goes its really straight forward. Good luck man!




Awesome, I'll do those mods when I'm back home in a month or so.

So I uh, shot some Astia and I didn't really think about the difference between E6 and C-41 and so now I'm just blown away at these negatives and not really sure how to proceed but I guess I'll figure it out (yes I know it's too dark and I missed focus).

Look, if you had one shot
or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
in one moment
Would you capture it...
or just let it slip?

Finally shot some of the Astia I bought from MrBlandAverage a little while ago. Amazed at how well it turned out for ten years expired -- this was shot at box speed with minimal levels and curves in Photoshop.
