THANK YOU!

I was so confused before and probably never would have figured that out on my own.

This happens to me about ever 4th or 5th picture, that there is this rainbow

digitized blur across my negatives, usually only with medium format. Am I doing

something wrong, or is it my scanner's fault. I will try to attach a picture.<div></div>

Thanks, from these answers it looks like i'll be using D-76.

Does this mean I should use Kodak chemicals for the stop, fixer, and hypo?

I am looking to set up a darkroom in my basement over the summer and despite my

intense scan of this site, I can't find a thread that already applied to what I

need. So here it goes.

I am borrowing all of the equipment from my school (enlarger, trays, etc), so

that's not a problem.

I will be developing kodak tri-x 400, ilford hp5 and artista II film, all

iso400. Is there one developer that can best accommodate all of these, or should

I try to just stick to one (i'd of course prefer the artista because of the

price, but it's not always as convenient to buy.

So far I've heard of Sprint, Rodinol, or Diafine, but really have no idea which

is better. The only chemicals I have worked with is Ilford at school, but that

doesnt really matter to me. I'm pretty new (about one year) to darkroom

photography, so I suppose that is something to keep in mind.

Thank you!

Thanks, when I get the time I will try to work up the courage to try some of these.

Why would changing the screens help my old x-700?

jeff: how hard is it to do this yourself, would you say?

all: how much risky is it to try to clean/replace the screen?

I recently bought a replacement Minolta x-700 off of ebay that seems to be in

fine working condition, except that when you look through the viewfinder there

are a ton of dust specs. I am not sure if these show up on film yet (i'll report

my findings when I get the roll developed in a few days). I tried to clean it

off with an air blower (they arent on the mirror, but on the foggy piece right

above it)

Any idea how to clean these off safely?
