Re: Print washing sequence

for 30x 40 cm and smaller prints I have a Patterson print washer , for larger I have a home made set up with a fish tank air pump and water pump , I generally wash fiber for around 30 mins and I can wash ten 50 x 60cm prints at a time. I only use rapid fixer and I believe that is a non hypo fixer so...

Re: Fomapan film

OK I have come to the conclusion that Fomapan 100 film is garbage , I have never had so many problems with any film as I have with that film and with only maybe 1 out of 5 negatives printable it is not in anyway cheap. Gone back to using Tmax 100 and at $87 for a 50 sheet box it is certainly the che...

Re: Enlarging lens

Thank you Maris I ave done some very large print from 35mm with the largest being around 900 x 500mm , but that was with a APO Rodagon N 50mm enlarging lens. The same size print with a cheap lens did not even print very well. For medium format ( 6x6 ) I have an APO rodagon N 80mm and at 500 x 600 mm...

Enlarging lens

Rodagon Vs Componon I have always been a fan of Rodenstock lenses , I use APO rodagon N lenses for 35mm and 6x6 but I don't have one for 4x5 as yet I don't expect to find a 150mm Rodagon N any time soon but in my experience having the APO lens makes no difference unless your printing in colour. I di...

Re: Official. I'm in love with 8x10

I would love to go to 8x 10

I have always wanted to shoot with a 20 x 24 VLF :)

Almost bought an 8x 10 enlarger a few years ago but it would not fit any where in my house or garage.

I have a Rodenstock 300mm Rodogon G lens that I think covers 8x10 , not to sure as I have never used it

Re: Fomapan film

If I could I would just use Ilford films , I have always liked FP4 and PAN50 , if I could get PAN 50 in 4x5 I would use that.

As a full time mature age student ( engineering )I dont have much of a budget to spend on photography so I will give a box of Fomapan 100 a try out
