  1. "Sidebar for the esoterica mavins: where would you get that poster size matrix film or receiver paper even when dye transfer materials were available? The largest size I could order in 1978 was 16x20 - which was discontinued in 1982 and the largest became 11x14 until it was discontinued completely. It would be nice if people would limit their esoterica to something faintly relevant to the question, instead of demonstrating the depth of their apparently, limitless knowledge - to little practical effect."

  2. You could easily make contact prints with them and then scan the

    prints, put into photoshop or similar editing program to repair the

    damage. That way you don't really have to do anything to your plates

    other than clean them before making your contact prints. I did this

    and it works very well.

  3. I find that I can not beat my local Wal-Mart to develop 35mm. With

    tax it is under $2 to develop only, I wait for it and cut the negs

    myself and put into sleves. This is for 35mm though. For sheet film

    there are Kodak publications that have temp drift charts for those

    who have no stable temp control, these can usually be found in Kodak

    books in most libraries.

    I have done much E-6 with a tank submerged in a large pot in the

    kitchen sink, though I always wondered how gas I was using to run all

    that hot water to keep the temp constant.

  4. I read about this, but can't remember where. Used the stuff that they

    coat the handles of tools called Dip-it. Seems like a liquid rubber.

    I found it at Home Depot as well as Menards. Comes in several

    colors, Iused black around $6 a can. You paint it on in layers or do

    what I did, paint the bellows inside and out with several coats. I

    used black.

    Once you open the can you have to put the rest in another container

    as the can does not re-seal that well, I used a jar and it is still

    good after about 6 months. It not only worked for worn cracked

    bellows with many light leaks, but also used it to patch large holes

    in another camera.
