<p>this is absolutely first time this happened to me so got no idea what's going on, i have developed b+w film in the past and nothing ever went wrong, this time film god forsaken me.<br /> film is expired kodak TMAX 100, previous sheets shot a few weeks ago came out fine, but these ones didn't. loaded them as always so I don't think they are pre-exposed before i ever took the shot.<br /> developer is Ilfosol 3, fixer is ilford Rapid fixer. I'm not sure its to do with the chemicals although the clear developer came out in a weird amber kind of color after use. Not going to blame Ilford, not going to blame the equipment, but want to figure out why.<br /> followed all the procedures but nooooooooooooooooo the product is worth less than a potato.<br /> one thing i noticed is that the letters indicating film type didn't even come out, as usually if i screwed up when taking a photo at least the top of the sheet there would still be "kodak TMAX 100".<br /> pretty nasty results and cannot really figure out why this, so if anyone of you ever encountered similar problem, or you identified a stupid mistake that i might have made, please advice. <br /> here are the pics<br /> <img src="http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g474/StrikeDOMXI/QQ56FE724720141104161804.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="960" /><br /> <img src="http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g474/StrikeDOMXI/QQ56FE724720141104161810.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="960" /></p> <p>would really appreciate any suggestion and advice, thanks.</p>

<p>apparently nope for the wayback machine, they have a Robots exclusion standard. but still handy for other websites.</p>

<p>been randomly checking Horseman(Komamura)'s company website, but cannot find archive about their older products, those 4x5 field cameras anymore.<br> they do have a slide show thing displaying those field cameras on the front page, but in their product catalog there is only the Falcon eye night vision systems.</p> <p>So anyone have any idea about this?<br> I mean it is pretty comprehensible that the company are no longer supporting old products(which is quite common with Japanese large format manufactures), but still curious about why the original data cannot be found.</p>
