thats what im thinking, i have this same exact camera and the patterns on the film look identical.

looks like they're from the plate on the film back. take your film back and rest it against the negative. if the marks line up- then it's from your film back.

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, Ilford Photo teases upcoming film stock release in multiple formats Anyone have any guesses?

Could be the date of manufacture. I've gone through several bottles of Silvermax dev. I suggest just shooting a roll, cut a few inches off and do a test development to see if it's working. Good luck!

Chiming in on this, I've had similar results with Unicolor. I've tried Tetenal with great results. Cinestills liquid kit isn't bad either... but try Tetenal first.

After the powder is completely dissolved and the temperature is at 102 degrees (38c) you can begin processing your film.

Hi Bill, Thanks for the input- I will try this exact method this weekend. Now I need to find a use for this Spur HRX that I purchased. :)

Hi All, Just wanted to see if anyone has had any good success using this developer. I recently bought some to use with Rollei 80s to 'tone down the contrast' a bit. I understand that you need to rate the film a bit lower when using this developer. It's much different than what I usually use, Rodinal, D76, Microphen, HC-110, and DDX. Let me know your thoughts!

I've seen some stores only get about 1 quarter of their amounts that they've requested. Either Kodak didn't make enough or, they didn't realize the demand for it. I was able to get 10 rolls of E100 from thefindlab.

According to my tracking information- I should receive mine today. Will shoot 2 rolls and send them out for processing this weekend.

I see a pattern here- I have about 10 packs of 25 sheet ilford paper and a few other 50 packs of ilford paper- all in 8x10. I also have some 11x14. I'll check on Amazon for some thick ziplock bags and toss them in the freezer. Thank you guys!

Disregard, I didn't search before I posted. Seems it'll last me a pretty decent time- 3-5 years as long as they're flat and kept cool.

Hi Guys, I recently had to move my darkroom from where it was and store a good portion of it all in plastic containers until I can bring everything out again. My chemistry is fine as I just ran out of Ilford Multigrade, but my paper (around 300 sheets) will be stored until I can use it again. All of it was purchased last July. It'll be stored in a cool, dry area in the containters (hallway closet). My question is this, How long will these hold up? About 3 boxes are opened, the rest are sealed. These are new, but I've been told that RC paper can only last around 2 years. I'm not sure how long it'll be until I can move into a solid location until then. Any advice would be great- Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse.

I've done something similar, but I've just manually cut strips of film off in a changing bag and loading it into the camera.. just to see for any light leaks/shutter issues. It's way cheaper than to use full rolls of film.

Done!

I received mine last Saturday from Cinestill. I have 1 roll loaded in the camera. Hard to actually experiment with film during the week.

I placed a preorder for Kodak P3200 with Cinestill's website on 2/23 and received it on 3/17. I was actually impressed that it arrived that quickly as I was informed that nothing would ship until late March/Mid April. I'll run a roll tonight when I get home from work and post some samples.

I have tried to use the color head, and while I was given some really good feedback/answers I still couldn't see much of a difference. I used to use a Durst color head with multigrade. IIRC 90Y was grade 1/2 (you can't quite get "0"). 30Y was grade 1 nothing was 2 40M was 3 70M was 4 130M was 4 1/2 (can't quite make 5). Durst isn't CC values, although it is close, so don't go copying that over to a head not from Durst. I've tried using those values from a post I made last year.

Hey Gary, after just purchasing it I was just thinking about how I would be able to adjust the aperture. I'll give it a try and see how much of a tight area it is going to be. Until then, I'm planning on removing the red filter from the lower swing arm and lay the filter on top of it.

Woah, that's awesome. I found some. I'll order these and give these a shot. THANK YOU!

I'll see if I can pull out the red filter and just lay the filters on top of it. Thank you!

I have the color head version. I'd prefer to use separate filters- but I'm guessing using the color head is the only option.

Hey guys, I've owned this enlarger for sometime, and I got it brand new in the box with the manuals and all the documents. However, after using it for about 6+ months.. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where to place the filters. I bought some Ilford filters- not the ones in the carrier, but just the sleeves (if that makes sense). If anyone has experience with this enlarger, any help would be great. Also, I've searched around on the internet and couldn't find anything. There is no recognizable filter placement on the enlarger- Do people just hold it under the lens?

Nope. I’m using 3 different cameras with several different lenses.. weird right? I emailed Ferrania (not looking for a refund) but to see if anyone has had a similar issue.

I’ll give DDX a shot tomorrow. HC110 was a no go. My portraits came out black, but the the background had some detail. Again, this is a common issue I’ve been having with this film.
