In the end we plumped for a higher end standard silent night mattress. We figured that way we’re not paying extra for an inbuilt topper, can flip the mattress and put our own topper on if we want. Argos had 20% off so it came to £700 in the end. I wanted to like those new tempu, simba type...

I think that’s the kind of design we’re going to go for. Tried an all foam one and you sink in far too much for me. Going to have to go around and try a few more. We’ve only ever bought cheaper ones before, makes it a lot harder having more choice

So our mattress has given up. We have a super king bed but we’re struggling to decide on what to get. We have up to £800-£900 I spend. There’s a Dream shop near us, we tried one and liked it but I read a couple of long reviews about them sagging after a while and their warranty process being...

So this is an example. With zero editing it looks hugely flat. The edited version is edited so that the highlights and shadows just barely clip. There is some mid tones if you play around with it but to me it just looks like film that has been heavily pushed, which is not really what Diafine is...

I’m guessing it’s the temperature myself. It’s not strictly Diafine, it’s Bellini’s version from Nik and Trik. I had a look at the guide they provide for different films and Tri-x is listed as 20 degrees and TMAX 100 22 so it sounds like it needs to be at least reasonably correct if it’s being...

I’ll have more of a mess around with them tomorrow. They aren’t unsalvageable, they look like they’ve been heavily pushed, they just don’t look at all how I expected they would.

This won’t help but I don’t have access to the scans right now, I’m not at home. But I just developed a roll of Tri-x in diafine for 3+3. I rated the Tri-x at 1000iso. What I expected was a fairly flat negative with lots of scope to edit, potentially looking the same as Tri-x rated at box...

Oh, I thought it was only with the heritage one. I’ll have to have a look.

Quick question for any users. Does negative lab pro essentially just invert the negative? When I use film I use black and white 90% of the time. I have a preset saved in capture 1 that inverts the scan on import. It works well for it being free but the exposure is nearly always off and it is a...

I wouldn’t usually go above HP5 at 400 and Fp4 pushed to 200/250. However the camera I’m using now is a Rollei 35 that used scale focus so ideally I wouldn’t be below F11. F16 is my preferred aperture for the camera, at f16 you only need to remember 2 focus distances and you can focus at 1-2m...

I have just got some of Bellinis clone of Diafine. I have yet to use it and will be going away in a week so I won’t be able to test it with the film I will be taking, Tri-x and if it arrives in time HP5. The official recommendation for iso for Tri-x is 1600 and 800 for HP5, however whenever...

I think it’s context for me. If it was a straight portrait I was doing I would be annoyed if the focus wasn’t bang on. For more environmental type portraits, street photography, candids, that kind of thing, I think being tack sharp doesn’t matter as much as there is often more to the photo than...

That’s one thing I do like about my XT2. Though I don’t often use it I can have face detection on, which uses the entire sensor to focus, but when it doesn’t detect a face it reverts to single point.

Is that why ive started to see a lot of accounts with little to no feedback pop up? I would do that but ive got 350 100% feedback on my account. I suppose I could start another and sell a couple of cheap things to get some built up

It’s all getting a bit rubbish. I’ll have to re-think how I use eBay from now. I’ll buy a piece of camera or guitar equipment, use it for a period of time, if I really like it I’ll keep it if not I’ll sell it on. In my head the small loss I made was almost like I hired it for X amount of time...
