You won't see it until the old stuff is gone out of the pipeline. B&H still has some of the old TMY left and they're not going to start selling the new TMY (assuming they could) until the old stuff is gone, because they are afraid that we are just going to buy the new TMY (which is exactly what I'd do) and all of their old TMY stock will just get old or they will have to sell it at a steep discount - that's not going to happen. As far as other retailers that actually ran out of TMY, they can't get the new stuff because KODAK wants ALL of the old TMY out of their distribution channels before they'll ship anything new. <p/>Personally, I am keeping my current shooting schedule which is mostly TMX and Across. When New TMX is out, then I'll switch - maybe.

There was a good review in January's Shutterbug about this film: <a href=http://www.freestylephoto.biz/sc_prod.php?cat_id=405&pid=1000002291>efke IR820</a> It also comes in sheet film, 120 & 127.<p/>I haven't tried it yet.

To answer the question that you asked:<p/>1 Liter does 4 rolls of 36 exp 35mm full strength. If you are going to pour the chemical back into the bottle, at 15% development time for the next roll, 30% for the next, and then 45% for the last. <a href=http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/j78/j78.jhtml?id=0.2.24.14.18.14.7.14.14&lc=en#004>Source</a> So, Developing the New T-MAX 400, the first time will be 7.5 minutes (20 C), the next time add 15% of the time for 8.6 minutes, 30% the next time 9minutes 45 seconds, then 45% the last time 10 minutes 52 seconds - dump the liter. <p/><a href=http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/j78/j78.jhtml?id=0.2.24.14.18.14.7.14.14&lc=en>D-76 Tech pub from KODAK</a><p/>P.S. What KODAK says about 1:1 "For greater sharpness, but with a slight increase in graininess, you can use a 1:1 dilution of this developer."

<ul><li/>Flash is slow and it's a pig. Believe it or not there are still people on dial-up and flash really hogs the bandwidth. I personally hate sitting through Flash loading even on DSL and the Flash introductions - they're boring and I hate it when there's no link to bypass them.<li/><a href=http://gallery2.org/>Here's some free open source software for photographers.</a><li/>Check out <a href=http://sourceforge.net/>Sourceforge</a> for more free software.<li/>There are tons of software out there to do what you want and if you're willing to get your hands "dirty" with computers, you can have a full functioning photo website for just the hosting costs. There's no need to pay the $30-$200 a month for the specialty photosites.</ul>

Sorry for bursting your bubble, but I guarantee you that someone else somewhere has thought of the same thing.<p/>Let's say that your idea is one in a billion, good business ideas are a dime a dozen - everyone has a few of their own. Actually implementing them is the challenge.

I go one better and use the rule of forths! And when I master that, the rule of fifths! And one day, one day, the rule of tenths! Then, all of you will bow down to my artistic greatness!

<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_printing>See here. You're going into the world of wet photography. </a><p/>"basically I didn' want to look stupid"<p/>An instructor that belittles their students is unprofessional, incompetent and shouldn't be teaching. And as far as looking stupid, I do it all the time here :-) ...but I sure do learn a lot!

I don't have a problem either and I use Firefox and I'm on the East coast.<li/>First, are you on dial-up or have a very slow broadband connection?<li/>Have a bunch of RSS feeds giving you news, stock quotes, etc...?<li/>Or, are you constantly looking at photos or movies such as clips on Youtube?<li/>Have you done a virus or adware check on your computer lately?<p/>All the above and then some will suck up bandwidth and make a connection time out.<p/>There are many more reasons why what you're experiencing can happen. I just wanted to give you an idea on where to start.

I've used a few fast films. TMY (TMAX 400) so far has been the finest grain fast film I've used. I haven't used the New TMY, yet - it's still not available from what I've seen. <p/>Developers: I haven't noticed a difference between TMAX and D-76 to be honest. And D-76 is a little cheaper. <p/>BTW, I enlarge up to 8x10 sometimes larger if you consider the cropping I do occasionally. <p/>Of course, the above is my opinion based on my personal experiences. I have not tried any other film developers other than KODAK's family. The films I've tried: Fuji Neopan 400, Illford HP5 (Not the Deltas yet), the Kodaks, and Arista II & Arista EDU 400s - whoever makes those.

It's to cover their asses.<p/>Some pervert is going to use the camera to take pictures of under age girl's: underwear, them dressing, bathing, whatever... and then the parents will sue said pervert. Now, considering that the pervert won't have much money, especially after having to pay his own lawyer, said girl's parent's lawyer will then go after the deep pockets: Fuji. Now, Fuji can say that the pervert didn't follow their EULA and therefore they, Fuli Corp have no liability. <p/>The lawyers on all sides will then battle it out and in the meantime, Fuji passes the legal costs on to us because of a pervert and greedy parents.

My dad went to Walmart and tried to have one of his photos printed. The clerk there said, "it's a professional photo and yo have no right to it" and ripped up his print (no charge). After he insisted he took it - he did. The clerk wouldn't print it. <p/>It seams that Walmart wants to be the copyright police and I refuse to use those idiots. Which isn't a problem because their quality is horrible - as bad as Costco.

Shit! I meant to say <i>with S&H</i> - damn it!

<a href=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16838108112>Plustek 7200 scanner $189.00 US</a> plus S&H. It may not have the dynamic range you want, but it's cheap. And before you lay out the bucks for a Nikon Coolscan, google for ratings. The Coolscan doesn't produce the 4.8 dynamic range it alleges (more like 3.5+).

<i>...but dont know how hard it will be to learn processing</i><p/>You learned how to use your digital camera. Can you cook something by following a recipe? Developing film is easier; especially if you're comparing it to cooking traditional Indian food!

I prefer to call it mental masturbation.

I second IX Web hosting.

Very few of the galleries I've been to carry photographs. I was told by one owner that photos aren't art. So there's that prejudice.

I strongly second asking an accountant or tax attorney. With photography, as well as: airplanes, horses, sports cars and other popular endeavors, you have to watch out with the IRS because a lot of folks in the past started "businesses" in order to deduct their toys. As a result of these "businesses" the IRS is very strict about the deductions involved with these. Will you immediately get audited? No, but the probability increases because of it.

Denying death is not life affirming. Death is part of life. I forgot who said it, but he said basically that he lives life with death beside him. <p/>When we are conscious of our mortality, then we can live life to its fullest and not worry about or pursue the unimportant.

I print 35mm up to 8x10 and I see fuzziness even with KODAK's T-grain Tech. I'm all analog. I guess if I used a scanner, things would look better with the help of the computers.

Companies will still make film <i>as long as there is a viable market for it.</i> In other words, if there isn't enough people who are using film to make it worth while, film will not be produced anymore on a large industrial scale like it is now. <p/>I am seeing the film selection dwindle every year. Although, KODAK updated the Porta and TMAX line last year because they're still profitable. KODAK is discontinuing Porta in the 35mm line. (I'll just move to UC or Velvia). I'm seeing less and less labs that do slides. My local C-41 lab has great turn around time because I'm one of their last customers. My local photo store's darkroom section has shrank in half over the last 6 months. The owner says it's going to get worse because darkroom sales are decreasing dramatically. He said it's only a matter of time before he stops selling any darkroom supplies. He was mum about film except for showing me the KODAK memo about the professional film discontinuances - something completely different from what's on their website which has been posted here on photo.net. As we were speaking, a local pro bought three 5 packs of 120 Porta 160NC<p/>To me, the signs are that film is dying and the market will eventually hit a stabilization point like what has happened with paints, blacksmithing, buggy whip makers, and any other old technology that still has some, although small, market left. The film market will exist, but the choices will be few and far in between. There's going to be much more "roll your own" in analog photography in the future. See APUG.org for examples. They're already rolling their own for much stuff now.<p/>In short, we shall see.<p/>Disclaimer: I cannot predict the future. ;-) I wish I could then I'd be the richest and most neurotic man <i>ever</i>.

Rufus,<p/>I'll be doing that in the future. Like I said, it was an accident on my part and I wanted feedback about my logic.<p/>Cheers.

Thanks guys.<p/>Actually, in the future, I'll be processing with the 1:1 dilution - one shot. And considering the anxiety you folks witnessed, I think it'll be better for my nerves. Also, I really don't see any difference between straight and 1:1 on 35mm. The above was just an accident as a result of timing.

Hi.<p/>Follow me here please....<p/>I mixed up a liter of D-76. <br/>Processed a

roll of 36 exp film (straight dev.) and dumped that developer back into the

storage bottle.<br/>The next roll was for 15% longer development time and then I

dumped that back into the bottle.<br/>Now, according to <a

href=http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/j78/j78.jhtml?id=0.2.24.14.18.14.7.14.14&lc=en#004>KODAK's

literature</a>, the next roll will be developed 30% longer than the time listed.

BUT, I develop the next roll for 30% longer and dumped the chemical down the

drain. I now have ~750ml of D-76 left. I then develop another roll (+30% time)

and dumped that and then another and dumped it (+30% time). (I stopped there

because I wouldn't have enough developer - I used two different types of tanks.)

<br/>I just developed <i>six</i> rolls of film when KODAK says I can only

develop 4 per Liter - if I'm reading their lit correctly. It looks like I

followed their recommendations correctly and got more rolls of film out of the

solution without "pushing" the developer.<p/>In short, I'm reusing the developer

until right before exhaustion and then using it as one shot. <p/>I'm posting

this because I'm not so sure about my logic and I want another set of brains

thinking about this (I've been a bit tired lately and not thinking too clearly).

My negatives look pretty good too. I haven't printed them yet, though.<p/>Thanks

everyone!

Forget my posts. I just realized what was meant by "extra perforations in the middle" and I realized that my memory is failing me.
