Finished my set up with wash that seems to work very well (washing up bowl, fish tank pump, some tube, a 35l mango chutney container and a couple of 3D printed tank manifolds...

Thanks, I am looking at washing prints .... negs all sorted (and am off to Scotland tomorrow so will bring back some of their granite filtered water)

Thanks ... I have pearl too so will do 1st test batch without fotoflo and see what the results are.

I don't have an issue with drying negs post dev as am using photo flo .... wanted to check if I could use it on prints too ... thanks for letting me know I can.

I have 3D printed a couple of guides for framing the print (3mm border all round) and for test printing with defined strips of space over the print and have the easel to keep them in place for multiple prints from the same roll or of the same neg. I was wondering about watermarks, we are near...

Hi Marino, On your advice, I've picked up a second-hand easel on eBay (12" x 10") for £15.00 and I have just ordered a 35l mango chutney tank (screw lid etc) as the basis for a washer .... will get a fish tank pump (450l/hr) and upcycle a plastic tray with 19mm tank connectors for a "dry dark...

Is that easy to do or do i just repost it there?

thanks ... will check out the link ... yes to wash and dry, no to easel but i have a selection of steel rules lol

Hi, Since getting back into analogue 35mm photography during the lockdown, I have been developing C41 & B&W at home with some successes and scanning the negs with a V500 Epson. A few months ago I was gifted an Axomat 4 B&W enlarger (without the filters?) and Santa bought me trays, chemicals...

I'd agree it's a counterfeit ... and may not be worth the risk but may also work fine ... I do have to ask why one would need to "double" the battery life at the expense of a bulkier camera? Personally I have 2 ... the original supplied battery and a correctly chipped aftermarket one from...

Thanks Paul, I've not got one on the lens I'm using it with and manual focusing so I guess it's a small pice of scrap I've removed (and kept).

Does anyone know the function or purpose of the little triangle plastic lug on the body next to where the lens mounts (between 7 and 8 O'clock as toy look at the front) ... I got a set of 3 Macro extension tubes for my birthday and although all have a metal lug that "meets" the plastic triangle...

SUPERB ... thank you ... I have been using my Arduino to trigger sequential 30 second exposures and then stacking them up in Gimp ... this opens up a whole host of noctography and light painting opportunities (with the right ND filters)

I love the effect that you get with the film ... superb, just what's needed!! The HL-N on your Nikon is almost too good, if you're after a nice gnarly picture ... but takes a nice shot anyway! (& Thanks Alf)

Hi All, a bit late to the game but I hope to play soon and will post my photos soon whilst watching from the sidelines for now.
