I don't enjoy traveling and I hate flying so I avoid it as much as possible so I don't really know the latest airport security processes. But, having said that, I do sometines wonder if you can "force" a hand inspection by putting your film in a container that x-ray cannot penetrate? Then, your luggage gets pulled to the side and you're told to open the package for inspection. Would this work?

 

I did just that and was asked to take the film out of the lead bags and everything was put through the scanner at NY's JFK ; mind you this was before the new scanners were installed. I suspect that I would be asked to do the same again.

It's a real shame. I hope he can bring it back and survive. I went there every time I visited Chicago.

I had a Durst Printo and used it exclusively for Ilfochrome. A beautifully and ingeniously designed processor (Paper only) for color prints; no pumps (and no pump failures), reliable chemistry heating system, a gear system for moving the print from one bath to the next, very effective squeegee rollers to prevent chemistry carry-over, etc., etc. I wax poetic just thinking about it :)

About two years ago, when I finally stpped printing Ilfochrome, I sold it for a fraction of the original cost.

I don't know what a direct message is. I sent a message with the details along with another question this morning through the Contact email interface. Thanks.

 

I am having the same problem. I wrote and sent the message through the contact interface but have received to reply. My e-mail as listed is no longer working.

I recently purchased a iiif and I really like the way it feels iin the hand (I also have an M that use quite regularly). I also

picked up a 35mm f/1.4 Voigtlander for a particular project in available (dim) light. The amera is very quiet and the lens is

fast and sharp - a marriage made in heaven. LTM's are so beautifully made, they are addictive.

<p>Any chance that you will make one for 5x7 film?<br>

What I would really like is a 5x7 version to fit the Jobo 2500 Tank!<br>

Good luck with the product - I think it will do well, especially now that the HP Combi Tank is no longer being made.</p>

<p>Thank you all - Ray's post illustrates the ones I am looking for.</p>

<p>Has Leica or some other manufacturer ever made a viewfinder for the Leica M where the image may be viewed from the top? That is, viewing the image in a way similar to a twin-lens reflex camera.<br>

Just wondering as it would be useful in some situations... Thanks in advance</p>

<p>I hope my frozen stash of HIE keeps well. I have about a hundred rolls - a minor investment of sorts.</p>

<p>Thank you all. Nice images Rothelle. I have a "Baby" Linhof that I would like to use sheet film with. I also have a Zeiss Ikon 9x12. I enjoy using these cameras on long hikes where my 4x5 becomes heavy. I am going to use either the Grafmatic 23 holder or the Linhof 6.5x9 holders for the Baby Linhof. I haven't decided which yet: the 23 holder has a nicer looking (to me) aspect ratio and the 6.5x9 has a slightly larger film area. I obsess about these things...</p>

<p>I don't have the holders on hand and I would like to cut some 4x5 Tri-X into these two sheet film sizes: 2.25x3.25inches and 6.5x9cm. Does anyone know the exact outside dimensions (not the image area) of these sheets. 4x5 sheet film, for example, is a tiny bit smaller than 4x5.<br>

Thanks.</p>

Thank you Robert.

I just purchased a Jobo TBE 2 tempering unit but it came without any instructions the vendor was not the user and was unfamiliar with it);

I could not find the instructions on the Jobo website either.

 

My question is: does the unit need to be filled with water? If so, how is the water then removed when I need to store the unit?

 

Thank you in advance.

I found some holders and and a Rada 6x9 roll film holder on the german ebay (ebay.de). Recently I found more 9x12 holders but although very similar, they don't fit - so be careful in identifying them. This stuff is so old that most people who sell them don't really know much about it.

Yes for the 79; I am not sure about the 56. Try a sheet and let us know.

Sad and disappointed. I do a fair number of image transfers and emulsion lifts and unfortunately, stocking up is not a long term option with polaroid films.

The last time i was in Pompeii it was super crowded. With the exception of close-ups I made the tourists part of the shots. If there was a crowd of people taking pictures of something, I photographed them and what they were trying to photograph: sometimes it worked to my advantage, sometimes not.

A word of caution: be aware of your surroundings; don't flaunt your expensive gear. Carry it in a shopping bag instead of a camera bag.

Does anyone know what this exactly? I don't think it is not a the submersible

water heater. I cannot find it in the old Jobo brochures I have and Omega-Satter

doesn't know either (what a surprise!). Thanks in advance.

I have been told, by a photographer who uses HIE almost exclusively (and lots of it), that Kodak manufactures HIE only once a year. This may explain why it sometimes becomes unavailable. I have never confirmed this myself, however.

The International Center of photography in New York City has a weekend workshop (Nov

10-11) with John Reuter, a well-known practitioner of this technique. I took the workshop

two years ago and enjoyed it. You can reach the ICP at 212-857-0001 www.icp.edu

I will be using the Jobo ATL-1500 processor for Black & White and I am confused

about the temperature.

 

1) Do I need tempered water (75F/24C) to process B&W? or does the processor heat

up the chemistry automatically, on its own?

 

2) Does the water need to be tempered for the pre-soak and final wash? If the

water from the faucet is say, 65-70F, will the processor work nonetheless?

 

Thank you in advance for your advice.

I've gotten mixed results with film that was out of date by two years. Some boxes lost from 1/3 to 1/2 the original ISO and were slightly cyan; other boxes were as if new (same film, same expiration date).

I guess you won't know until you try a couple of sheets.

What Bruce says. Noontime -solar time, not daylight saving time, (and and hour or two before and after) is the best time to shoot infrared and

Nighttime is the best time to be with the one you love.

I've been looking for the same push-on filters but they are scarce. I tried using threaded filters but they do not thread: close, but not close enough. The push-on yellow filter I have seems a bit faded. I'm going to try to remove the old glass and replace it with new "unfaded" glass.

I've used a No.12 yellow with interesting results.An EI of 200 is the suggested starting point bu the film will respond differently throughout the day as the amount of infrared light changes. Bracketing exposures becomes essential.

I am still waiting for a backorder of twenty rolls to arrive. I will miss this film.
