    Thanks for your reply and explanation. I guess I will have to wait and see how it goes :) Hope this does not become too bad of a problem. I will check about this new viscous formula too. Sounds like the viscous one has better longevity.

    Sure, Attaching the photos here. No I am not returning it back to the bottle, I take it out using a plastic syringe and thats the only thing that touches the liquid. I have not dropped the aluminum foil, but I have left it on the bottle and only pealed it slightly so that my syringe can go inside. As soon as the liquid inside the bottle touches these brown spots, they dissolve and disappear. Sorry somehow images from Google drive are not getting inserted, so here are the links to the images: Image-1 Image-2 Image-3 (This is just the picture of which HC-110 I am using, the thinner liquid)

    Hi Everyone, I had a question about the new (thinner, not the syrup) HC-110 formula. I bought one recently and when I store it for a few days, I start seeing some dark brown sports inside the bottle. Does anyone know if this is normal? Why is it forming these spots? Thanks

    Sorry about the typo in the title (WS = WTS) and missing the asking price ($70)

    I am selling this extremely well maintained and fully working Nikon N90 35mm film camera (I still have unfinished film roll loaded that I am shooting). This is one of the very few cameras that has the fastest shutter (1/8000) Even some of the latest DSLRs don't shoot that fast. This is great to shoot with wide open aperture in bright daylight. The MF-26 data back is also fully functional. I am attaching pictures (from two weeks ago) of a roll I shot using this camera and you can see I have imprinted the shutter speed and aperture values on the film using the MF-26 data back. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

    Thanks for the follow up :D , I updated to F100 and will be selling my N90. The build in diopter in F100 is pretty good.

    F100 manual suggests using DK-6 eyecup. I was wondering if DK-19 would fit the F100 viewfinder thread? DK-19 is more readily available on Amazon than DK-6 here in the USA. Thanks for any pointers.

    Thanks a lot everyone. I get your points. I may need to get used to it as I use it more :)

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I might be just not lifting my finger enough and trying to half press constantly like i do on my DSLR. They both have different tolerance, so my muscle memory might be the problem.
  10. sajid_saiyed
    Thanks. This might be one reason to justify my urge to buy F100. :D F100 custom AF button on the back could greatly reduce my accidental fast finger clicks.

    Hi, This might sound like a stupid question, but I am really looking for some advise here :D Recently I have started shooting film and purchased Nikon N90. One thing I noticed with N90 is that the half press to focus is so sensitive that many a times it accidentally clicks the picture instead of focusing. I have been a long time D600 user and I am used to focusing using half press, but I don't get that many accidental clicks. So I wanted to know if this is how it is supposed to be and I need to be really careful? or It is something I am doing wrong here.

    Thanks for the links. These are useful. I had searched Google and these did come up. The Amazon one was shiping 4 to 6 weeks after placing the order. B&H one said it's discontinued. I did find something similar though and that is why was trying to check if there were more options available for faster shipping and lower cost. The KEH link from Mary seems like a really good deal though.

    Thanks a lot for all the great discussion. Sorry to have caused confusion by mixing Magnifier and Diopter. What I meant was to look for a Diopter because I wear glasses and want to do a +1 or +2 correction.
  14. sajid_saiyed
    Hi, I think DK-21M is suitable for D90, not N90 (film camera)
  15. sajid_saiyed
    Hi, I have been trying to find a magnifying Diopter for Nikon N90. I was wondering if DK 17 M would fit the vie finder on N90? But at the same time, I was not able to find one available for sale. Only one I have been able to find so far is this. So wondering if there are any other options available.
  16. sajid_saiyed
    Thanks a lot. This is really useful. I'll do more research and get back.
  17. sajid_saiyed
    I had a question though. Do you know what it the name of this product that you shared?
  18. sajid_saiyed
    WOW, Thanks for summarizing it so beautifully. This is great, I am going to look into there slide copiers and post back how it goes

    Hi Everyone, I know there are strong advocates on both sides of this debate, but I wanted to hear what are the pros and cons of DSLR scanning over something like the popular Epson V600? I have heard a lot of negative comments about Epsons software and user interface. Is that worth a reason to adopt DSLR scanning technique? Thanks for any insights from your workflows. note: I have a Nikon D600 that I would be filming the negatives with (if that information helps)
  20. sajid_saiyed
    I agree, contrast is subjective. So I am going to try one of the roll with 10% added time and see how that goes. Thanks for that tip :)
  21. sajid_saiyed
    Thanks everyone. This all is great information. Based on your feedback this is what my plan looks like, let me know what you think :) Film: Ilford HP5+ Developer: HC-110 (dilution E 1:47) Fixer: Ilford Rapid Fixer (dilution 1:4) Wetting agent: Kodak Photoflow (Not planning to use stop bath and use water rinsing for stop, is that advisable or a bad idea)
  22. sajid_saiyed
    :D True.
  23. sajid_saiyed
    Thats great to know, Thanks a lot for these insights. Saves me some $$ too :D
  24. sajid_saiyed
    I see, thats a good tip. Maybe dividing into 10 bottles of 100ml each would be a good idea for my setup (as I will be mostly developing a E 1:47) in a single 35mm Film tank.
  25. sajid_saiyed
    Hi, I am thinking of buying multiple 100ml bottles to store HC-110 so that I can improve the longevity of the chemical. I was wondering if anyone has tried using medical sterile vials such as these. I am thinking of using a syringe to extract the chemical whenever I need. Do you think these bottles prevent air contact? Or the pores in the rubber are not good enough to keep the air away. Thanks for your advice :)
