Who is Captain Ferricyanide? Perhaps he or another maven of

Ferricyanide bleaching can offer some hands-on instruction in this

process. I've been getting dark yellow stains on Ilford Multigrade

paper when doing selective bleaching of dark black lines. Is this

staining avoidable? Remediable?

Thanks for asking.

Dave,

Any particular reason you haven't investigated the Fujinon-C 300/8.5? I

cannot give you a side-by-side comparison with the other two lenses you

mention but it has performed quite admirably for me with both

landscapes and arch'l details.

In the wake of our loss of Condit Mfg, someone suggested we can turn to

an outfit called World Images in Hillsborough, Oregon. They come highly

recommended but I have yet to contact them. I don't even have their

contact info yet. So Russell, if you pursue this, please give an

update.
