    I use reloadable cassettes, that I bought from B&H Kalt 35mm Cassette For Bulk Film (Plastic, 1 Cassette) NP11137-1 I, too have bulk loader, a Computrol, that I need to check.
  2. John Farrell
    You could test the loader, by putting a short length of unexposed film in it, leaving the loader exposed to light for a time, then developing the film.

    I found that if I changed my email address that I use to login, I was no longer able to access forums or features here. I had to go back to my old login address.

    Fine pictures, Rick. They could be from the 1850s!

    That isn't a Contax.

    You're hardly likely to get a reply - this thread is 17 years old!

    I had a Beetle, back in the 70's........I used to do my own servicing. My current car, a 1990s Toyota, is a far more reliable vehicle, with a fraction of the servicing needs of a Beetle.

    I replaced the 2nd curtain on my Exakta IIb - the first curtain is fine. There are instructions online for this job - I followed this: Exakta Surgery There are also instructions here: Disassembly of Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb - Caveat Reparator

    Thanks for that, Fred G - this method of posting photos is new since the last time I checked it out.

    The image has to be hosted elsewhere, and the URL inserted using the "image" function on the bar along the top of the post.

    Contact Chris Sherlock - Chris's Camera Pages He works on cameras other than retinas; mainly those with compur shutters. He recently overhauled the shutter on my Contaflex 1.

    I have a Beauty Lightomatic III - which looks remarkably like an original Canonet from the front - f1.9 lens, and a selenium element around the lens. It's even the same diameter as the lens barrel on a Canonet. It doesn't have the Canonet's auto exposure, though. There is a meter readout on top, linked to the shutter speed and diaphragm rings. This one works, but someone has removed the delayed action, and flash synch levers. This means no B speed, and only X synch.

    You are aware the post you are replying to was made in 2009? The poster you are questioning was last here in that year.

    I use developer, stop bath, fixer, wash aid. Only the developer is temperature checked, the rest are used at room temperature. I wash in tap water, with wetting agent in the final rinse. In nearly 50 years of developing, I've never seen reticulation.

    I use rodinal, inverting the tank for standard development, and I've not seen anything like that. Try another film, with inversion development - what you have may be an artefact of stand development. Another possibility is the quantity of rodinal in your tank being too small - see this thread Minimum amount of Rodinal

    You realise that the last post here was 15 years ago?
  22. John Farrell
    I believe they are, Julio - certainly what I can see online suggests that.

    This person is posting criminal spam.

    Something rigid like a sensor carrier would not need the film pressure plate - that's usually easy to remove, and would give more space.
