Thanks Ken, I hadn't thought of a mirror less with a lens adapter. To be honest, she uses the current camera in basic mode where the camera automatically selects ISO and exposure, so just general snapshots. I will do some research on the cameras you've mentioned. I'm in the UK.

It's time to upgrade Canon EOS 600D, but I don't know what the latest equivalent is. I only want to buy a body only. The camera is for my wife. Thanks in advance.

At the present time of this post, D76 and ID11 are currently out of stock from the main UK retailers, so making your own is not a bad idea.

Both developers are well established, so I wouldn't worry about which one to choose. 1 litre of working strength Multigrade developer according to Ilford is good for about 100 sheets of 8x10 paper while PQ Universal and Bromophen are good for up to 70 sheets. So the Multigrade has the highest capacity. I'm not so familiar with Dektol, so I would look at the technical data sheet. I use Multigrade developer and consider it to be an excellent all rounder. Hope that is of some help.

Look for a RR Beard Magitak Easel, They work best with RC papers than FB, as RC papers tend to lie flatter. Photon Beard Magitek Rahmen ohne Zubehör – Foto Köberl – Secondhand (fk-secondhand.com)

There is a good article written about D23 by Derek Watkins for single bath and two-bath use. D-23

Kodak HIE infra-red film and if I can pick another film, it would be Fuji Neopan 1600. Whether they would be profitable, I don't know.

<p>Ilford FP4 Plus.<br> Develop in ID11 or D76 diluted 1+1. Use the time printed inside the film box.<br> You may need to open the lens aperture by half an f/stop more than the light meter indicates for close up head photos if taking an incident light reading.</p>

<p>The developing times given for Tetenal Paranol-S and Adox RO9 (Agfa Rodinal) are very different, so beware of the claims that they are the exact same formula.</p>

<p>I used to use D-76 diluted 1+1, buthave just recently have tried a different approach.<br> I make up the 1 U.S Gallon (3.78 litres) bag to make 4 litres of stock and decant it into four 1 litre bottles.<br> After one roll of film has been processed, I pour the developer back into it's storage bottle for reuse, but strictly for "one-shot" use from then on.<br> I think I would exactly the same with Xtol.</p>

<p>I like the technical information given by Foma for that film for speed achieved at G-bar 0.6 and only wish that Ilford and Kodak would produce similar charts.</p> <p>I think I would go with E.I.200 and use stock Xtol for 7 minutes at 20*C as my starting point.</p> <p>Thank you for the link Robert.</p>
