<p>Hi Harry,<br>

Please don't sell your Leicas until you try a couple rolls of Ektar 100 films. This is truly a new kind of film. It is hard to describe how good the film is. One needs to try to know how.<br>

Hi,

I develop color negative at home as a hobby using C41 process and a Jobo Rotary drum processor. Recently,

Kodak has discontinued the one gallon Flexicolor developing kit. I was told that I could use the Kodak Flexicolor SM

Tank Developer instead.

The problem is I can not find the dealers who sell the SM developer kit. B&H can special order but they don't ship

out. Adorama, Calumet, Freestyle do not carry the item.

If someone can help me to find the dealer who sell, or recommend a different Kodak chemical for C41 process, I

would truly appreciated.

Regards,

Hi Chris,

I have a Mamiya RZ67 for portrait shots and a Mamiya 7 for everything else.

Recently, I just acquired a LF camera to play with the rise, tilt, and swing functions that the camera offered.

I also develop and print my own B&W and color films.

The quality of prints were so good that surprised me and the people around me so many times.

As digital cameras becoming more and more popular, the prices of film cameras reduced to make them more affordable than ever.

I also had a digital camera, but I only used it when there was the need for digital files.

My suggestion is having both systems on hand. We will find situations when we need to use one or the other.

Thanks again James,

Hoan

Hi,

I'm sorry for the first attachment that could not be read. I attach the image again. The "transformer or voltage stabilizer could be seen in the picture. It was loosely hung on the lower horizontal bar.

Thank you John and James for the responses.

The part I mention was encircled in the attached picture.

Hi,

I purchased an old Beseler 45MXT with a 45S Color head. The enlarger came

with a heavy, square 6x6 box. Based on the appearance, it appeared to be a

transformer.

I don't know what it is used for and how to connect it to the system.

Any advice on this would be helpful to me.

One more question: The color head used a 82V light bulb. If I plug it

directly to the household 120V line, will I damage the bulb?
