billsagliano Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hi all: I hope that this is a spot that I can ask a question about material viability. I have a package of 3" x 3" Durst Kodak Color Printing Acetate Filters. I have a bunch with what looks like moisture between the glass. Are the usable as they are? I suspect its fungus but if there is value Then I can sell them because that's how I pay the bills. Auctions, garage sales etc.I tried to insert a photo. I hope it works. I will be grateful for some help. Thanks. Billhttp://C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Acetate filters fade over time regardless, whether they're stored in the dark or otherwise. The filter above has obviously been badly stored. You have several issues getting money from CP filters these days. Hardly anyone darkroom prints any more.Even fewer people print colour negatives.Those handful that do will most likely be using an enlarger with a dichroic filter head. Is it worth your trouble for the few $ they're worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 enlarger with a dichroic filter head. Absolutely, but check it out before committing, if you can. Old enlargers can be dirt cheap, but can cost a small fortune to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
