Nikon 50mm f1.8D. Crisp clear images!
-
I would like to know what type of focusing the Minox 35 GT-S is? Is it a rangefinder? Does the
viewfinder have the split image you have to align or does the photographer have to guess the
distance? Thank you.

Try learning from the start on stainless steel reels. When i started out, I used the plastic ones
and noticed that some areas of the negatives, especially the edges were fogging or
underdeveloped.

I wouldn't develop ever develop Tmax with straight developer but 1:1 @ 20? 9 1/2 Min. If
you used plastic reels that could have added to your problems.

Jay, First off you should have a well ventilated room to develop your film in. If you really
want to be safe, wear eye protection, an apron and use rubber gloves. If you feel that the
fumes are too strong, wear a face mask. I hope your first attempt is successful!
-
I would recommend that you load only around 24 exp. However, B&H has cassettes that are
metal and work well.

Rich: I too spent many years away from b&w photography but I'm back! I think you will be
disappointed with the current Tri-X Film. I would try Ilford HP5+ or some Efke 400(lots of
silver content). I think you'll be able to push or pull these films nicely with D76. Good luck!
-
Mark, I would try Efke 25 film. It's made in Croatia and has a high silver content like the
older films. You can get it at B&H or Freestyle. I real like it!
-
I forgot, give it a water rinse before you apply the photo-flo.
-
Regan: You should use Photo-Flo made by Kodak or any similar washing aid. One way to fix
it is to roll your film again on a reel, rinse it in hypo and apply photo-flo again. Some
photographer use a squeegee before hanging. I hope this helps.
-
I would try using a liquid developer like Rodinal(if available), Tmax developer or HC-110 and
mix what you need for each roll. All these developers have long shelf lifes around 6 months.

I hope that answers your question!

Stefan: I used the Kodak Direct Positive Kit with Tmax 100. You have to shot the film at ASA 50. The development process is a little more complicated but if you read the directions carefully you'll won't have a problem. The effort is well worth it, you'll get unsurpassed, sharp and grainless images. I think this is the only way to go if you want to do it yourself.
Ilford has instructions on how to process B&W slide film but you have to buy the chemicals yourself.
Since film is going to be obosolete soon the Kodak option will be gone soon. Agfa is almost out of business and the Scala option is about to be gone, so hurry and buy all the Scala film you can.<div>
