I have had very good results in the past using Rollei ATP 1.1 (25 asa) and Adox CM20 . Very fine grain, excellent tones and gradations. I used to process Rollei in its own Rollei dev and the Adox CMS 20 in Atomal ( I have tried initially Adotech with poor results). The only thing which may be a deterrent to use Rollei ATP is that the regular tap water develops some iron oxide on negatives. Ilford Pan F50 also gets good results.

Tried it several years ago, didn't liked it. Murky and annoyingly excessive curly negs, probably something I've messed up. Haven't tried it since. I've a couple of rolls sitting in my fridge, I guess I'll give it another go, this film continues to get good reviews. What dev do you envisage for this film anyway?

The photographs in the exhibition were sent, most of them anyways, as Jpeg (or other format) files to the organizers. I, for example, have sent these as a pack of Jpegs by email, straight to the organizers desk in Riga. They took care of printing, and framing. It was so much simpler this way, of course. Mind you, this event was planned with some months prior to the actual wall mounting. I was contacted by Riga people I believe in June last year, and so it took months for the preparations of the museum exhibition. One thing I regret, could not attend in person, due to business commitments during that period. No matter, there is always another chance, I guess...

One can always go with a Minox cell adapter. Some more information, various batteries and adapters needed on various Minox cameras and accessories, here on my website: Minox batteries | julian tanase Main difference between a regular PX27 photo battery (I keep using this indication for the Minox battery, although it has changed in the last 10 yrs or so, various manufacturers have it in stock under different names and codes, such as Varta V27PX) and adapters is the output: whereas the factory batteries give 5.6V, the adapter gives 6V. Noticeable in real life? Some swear by it, some do not. I have had my doubts in the past, and still have them. Old PX27 were laced with mercury, which entered the big no-no land long time ago. Silver oxide are the norm nowadays, basically 4x LR batteries stacked in a plastic sleeve. They give you a 6V output. On the other hand, there are adapters where a small basic resistance circuitry is built in, and thus giving a 5.6V, from a similar 4 cell stack. I use a few of these myself. All I have seen in the last years were batteries coming from Varta, Duracell, Kodak. And obviously, the ubiquitous S27PX, the silver-oxide ones. Try German version of Evilbay, the Varta and the likes do pop up every now and then. Of course, there is always the danger of buying a dud, old and half empty, so caveat. Hope it helps :)

Good start of a year, I would say... Exhibition «The World with Minox. Riga» at the Latvian Museum of Photography ← FOLD

Hold on a sec...if you push the filter bar towards the lens, do you see a filter coming out and sliding onto the lens? what color is that filter? Also, check if the UV permanent filter is in front of the lens. That filter is fixed and it can be easily discerned if you look close to the lens. It's basically a piece of faintly tinted glass, glued in front of the lens, also meant as some sort of protection. If you see just the lens without that glass in front of them, that means you have found the UV filter, fallen by accident. In this case, what Martin said, send it to DAG Camera (Don Goldberg).

Scroll down the page, you'll see the 8x11 flash reference: Electronic Flash Introduction - Minox 8x11 Accessories Alternatively, see here on my blog: 8×11 flash & adapter | julian tanase There are plenty of other information on this flash and data. Hope this helps! Regards, JT www.minoxit.com

MPL being Minox Processing Lab? Is this the same with the one still existing in Germany? Would I be right in assuming that the cardboard precedes plastic or metal?

When were these introduced, if anyone can help? Martin? I am trying to ascertain (roughly) when were taken the slides in these frames, who produced these, etc. I know the photographs were shot around end of 40's. Thanks!
