i was wondering if someone could post pictures or tell me where i could find

some of some negatives, thin negatives, dense negatives, good contrast, high

contrast, low contrast. im new at this, ive processed several rolls but what i

think is high contrast negs turns out to be great, and vice versa, could

someone help me with this, thanks

i have bought lots of photo equipment off ebay, and never have i been ripped off, unil now (he DID have 100% positive feedback until now) i dont think he was honest in his ad, when i read that something has been tested, i assume that it works. grrrr, lol anyway, does anyone have that number for quility light metric, i couldnt find a website for them. thanks in advance

i recently purchased a minolta spot meter off of ebay, the ad said it had been

tested, (which led to my purchase) anyway, when i got it, i put the batteries

in and something was loose inside, there was no way to set the ASA, the motor

worked fine, but the asa knob on the outside of the unit would not turn the

(thing) inside, what i was wondering, is there someplace that repairs these

old units, i hear the minolta auto spot is a very good unit. thanks in advance

thanks so much for the feedback

i was wondering if anyone has ever let a lab put film pics on CD before, i was

thinking about having this done, but im not sure about the quality of the

scans, How big are the files? i would like to have at least 3 meg files.

thanks guys for all the great feedback

I just bought an EOS 3, havent used it yet, anyone else have one? if so, are

you pleased with it?

to give you a little more detail about the issue.... the thin line runs top and bottom over the whole roll. also in the first few frames there were dark spots on the negatives, like undeveolped or something but only on a few. also, i load my own film, i made a mistake and loaded like 42 frames on that roll, would that make a difference? btw your response was in no way vague, i appreciate all input, and thanks again

the tank i use holds 2 plastic reels, it cannot be inverted, it has an

agitation arm (i guess thats what its called) down through the middle of it,

anyway, it came with no instructions, i was wondering if someone would know

the amount of agitation, i need to use, i process for 11 min, thats the

instuctions for a tall tank on the film box, i turn the arm back and forth

continuously the first min, not fast but 1 sec one way the 1 sec the other

way, then 5 sec at 30 sec intervels. this is probably not correct, so any

help would be appreciated

im using a tall tank that cannot be inverted, it has an agitation (thing?) down through the middle of it that you turn back and forth. like i said two rolls ago the negs were great, maybe it was the temp. thanks for your response.

im very new to this, self taught. i found this site while trying to search for

a troubleshooting guide, ive succesfully processed a few rolls of film but the

last batch i did were very thin around the edges, what causes this, also i

developed for the same amount of time i always do, two rolls ago, i couldnt

have asked for better negatives, the lastest negs ive devoped, low contrast

and very thin to nothing around the edges, thanks in advance.
