I tried this paper developer in combination with Ilford Warmtone Paper as recommended, but I did not find appreciable warm tone change v/s normal Ilfospeed developer. Has someone some experience about the matter?

<p>Therefore with 1 l of TMAX DEV. we make 5 l of working solution.<br> With 1 l of working solution we can develop 12 rolls with time increase.<br> Therefore with 1 l of TMAX DEV, we can develop 60 rolls. <br> More or less, is it not an exaggerated number? In comparison, with 1 l of D 76 we can process only 4 rolls (Kodak J-78), and with 1l of XTOL 15 rolls (KODAK J-109) with time compensation...</p>

<p>Hello Glen.<br> For the photo try to point with right click and "copy image address" (or similar...). Let me know...</p>

<p>I should add a question to this discussion.<br> In my opinion is not clear if the T MAX DEV. capacity specified by Kodak is related to the concentrated or diluted (working solution) chemical.<br> The Kodak Technical Publication j86 does not specify clearly: <br> <em>The capacity of this developer with normal processing is</em><br /><em>approximately 48 rolls of 135-36 or 120 film per gallon (or equivalent), with time compensation,</em><br> but direction on an ancient 1l bottle specified: <em>working solution: 1l= 12 film with time compensation,</em> and direction on a recent 1l bottle is less straightforward (photo). http://imgur.com/a/Jg6gy <br> I should like to have the forum opinion...</p> <p> <br><I>Note: photo link corrected by Moderator</I></P> </p>

<p>I have a Yashicamat that in two occasions showed decrease of sharpness and contrast.<br> It was necessary to dismantle the lens and clean the interior.</p>

<p>Regarding the issue of using a part of a bag of powder I contribute with my experience.<br> Many years ago I worked in a photographic firm that produced many types of films and chemicals.<br> I remember that the powder chemicals were prepared in very large container where they were thoroughly mixed and then packaged in the required size.<br> Therefore I argue that it is possible to divide the quantity, providing some additional mixing for safety's sake, in two or three parts, maintaining the proportion of the components.</p>

<p><em>Mirror box <strong>latch</strong>ing that holds the spring pressure, is sporadic due to faulty lubricant.</em><br /><em>People call it a "shutter release", but it actually releases the mirror box; the mirror box then fires the shutter...</em><br> <em> </em><br> Thanks for the answer!<br> Is the suggested lubrication possible via dismantling the bottom cover or needs a more complicated action? <br> Any suggestion where to find a suitable exploded picture to properly locate the latching?</p>

<p>My Nikon Fe started to show this strange behavior.<br /> 1 step. After advancing and then releasing the advance lever the shutter is independently released without pressing the button.<br /> 2 step. Advancing and releasing the film are normal and I can shot the picture pressing the button.<br /> 3 step. Same as step 1<br /> 4 Same as step 2<br /> 5 Same as step 1<br /> 6 same as step 2<br /> and son on... <br /> The behavior in the same shooting in A mode, in manual mode and in M 90 mode. Batteries are ok.<br /> Anyone have some suggestion? Thanks!</p>
