Welcome back, Jay. I am still an advocate of 510-Pyro and have been using it exclusively for about two years with tremendous success!
-
You are right, James. Compared to the most prominent developers of today, 510-Pyro hardly counts. When it was first introduced by Jay de Fehr there was a growing population of users. I was just wondering if that population has decreased, increased, or what have you. There may be no way of knowing.
I have been using 510-Pyro exclusively for over two years and have found no reason to change as long as the chemicals are available. At least I don't live in fear of Kodak discontinuing it!
-
Does 510-Pyro still have extensive use in developing film?
-
Lex: thanks for the clarification.
-
Are you sure you are in the right forum?
-
Ron Miller: Do you have any images that you can post of yourself after being developed and scanned? How does one do that?
-
Luke: As much as you use this forum, it is time for you to subscribe also! Thank you.
-
Much better! Now, please pay your subscription fee. (On a crusade.)

Funny dialogue! Kevin, no offense was intended by my comment. It is simply my observation that Lex participates in answering as many questions as he did when he was moderator, maybe more. You are both quite capable, and appreciated.
-
Lex, are you the moderator again? If not, you should be.

Here is a link to examples of the current IR films, except for Kodak HIE, which is of course no longer available. http://www.digitaltruth.com/store/product_tests/infrared_film_005.php

Bob Michaels: It matters to the extent of being able to effectively communicate. Just as you refer to HC-110 and Rodinal, those too are just labels ("buzz words") but they serve a purpose, i.e. communication.
-
Actually, the link that I provided above is no more informative about the grain, per se, than the data sheet to which James refers. I guess Fuji chooses to keep it a mystery?
-
Fuji calls it "sigma grain". Here is a link for starting your research:

Thanks, Lex, for the enlightenment.

Ted: the first example that comes to mind is the use of fixers with hardening agents when developing film with PMK. They reduce the image stain. The use on non-hardening fixers allows optimum staining. This is generally true of films processed in pyro. Does that help?
-
"You can fix ANY B&W film in ANY fixer." That is probably true if you don't care about the results. With a little more research you, Ted, will see how ridiculous that statement is. I, however, am not here to educate you. That is really one helluva generalization!
-
I cast my vote for Fuji Acros 100 for the same reasons mentioned by John-Paul.
-
Buy it if the price is right! I have been using my JOBO CPP-2 for over ten years and have never regretted it. It is used for both film and paper with consistently excellent results. Also, I have never had any problems with the mechanics of it.
-
Acros has become my favorite film! It is especially lovely when developed in 510-Pyro. Also, it prints and scans as well or better than any film I have used in over 40 years when developed in 510-Pyro.

Kevin: Now that you have deleted the message to which my comments were addressed, please delete my comments. Thank you.

Who let this broad in? I say string her up to the yardarm!

Erin: This site ought to be of some value to you.

If you google the name of your camera you will find many sources for a manual for your particular camera.

Thank you, Lynn. That is good to know.
