    Lightroom and Mac users - how do you back up your images and catalogue ?

    When I moved from Intel to Silicon I ran time machine on the old Macbook then 'restored ' the new M Macbook from the time machine, it brought over all my software and all my images. Obviously I had to update some of the software from the Intel version to the Silicon version but the most time...

    Film resurgence in UK

    I don't know about colour films but we have put Kentmere 100 and 400 through the CT scanners at Gatwick with seemingly no ill effect.

    Show us yer film shots then!

    At a guess I would say that you short on developer and that is an area is thin under developed but unlikely as you have previously said that you go with more than the amount indicated on the bottom of the tank.

    Show us yer film shots then!

    You have got a nice range of tones from the KM200 / HC110 combination, particularly in the first one which has great shadow detail. I am 'inspired' to give them a try when I next run out of DDX.

    Another Haul

    I have never been a Nikon fan but I have to admit the FM2N and FM3a that he subsequently bought, not from charity shops, are rather nice with good viewfinders and a solid feel.

    Another Haul

    My son is currently working as assistant manager at the local Red Cross, he does see a few cameras come in but few of them are as interesting as an OM2. That said he did buy a Nikon FG20 from another charity shop which sparked his interest in all things Nikon.

    D23 Developer

    It is worth pre soak / pre washing 120 and large format films in particular if using a non one shot developer, the colour comes from anti halation dyes.

    Agfa APX 400 v Ilford HP5

    Is this the film that is currently sold as Agfa APX400 or outdated APX 400 cut from original bulk rolls by Lupus in the mid 2000's? There has been noise on the interweb that the new APX400 may be a Harman product, similar to Kentmere 400, I have used plenty KM400 but I have not yet tried the...

    Problem

    Yes you should be ok if you don't keep the made up solution too long, as in days or weeks, a few hours will be fine.

    Nightmare film experience

    I agree with the first two points above but have never tooth brushed my spirals despite living in hard water areas.

    Ilford 517 light leak

    I did conclude that it was the loaded film 'window' on the back of my Aria that was causing minor light leaks with TP 517 as neither my Olympus XA or both my Son's Nikons FG20 and FM2N have had problems. I think that the silver swaged on end caps have a wider diameter than the usual black end...

    Nightmare film experience

    I do find that cameras that wind on reversing the film's curve can make the film more difficult to load on to Patterson spirals, I have occasional problems with films that have been through the Nikons and Leica M2 which advance as above, my Contaxes which wind on with the film's natural curl are...
