More of the film catch-up, I took the Lubitel to NYC and ran a film through it.

If you double up the leader, put a few cm of paper from another film on the take-up reel with the film youโ€™re loading itโ€™ll prevent the overlap. The wind mechanism is meant for much thicker film than currently available. Glad youโ€™re enjoying it!

I had hoped to take some pinhole photos on world pinhole day, unfortunately itโ€™s pouring with rain here. Instead, here are the first and second pinhole photos I took.

Some interesting formats in the boxes of slides I found recently, 24x24mm and what appears to be 24x18mm Iโ€™ve never heard of a camera using that format in the 1950s and 60s.

I still use running water for wash, but my water is cheap. Iโ€™m planning on retiring to a more expensive place in a couple of years so Iโ€™ll probably switch to the Ilford method then.

I agree with consistency, I count my inversions to make sure theyโ€™re the same film to film. I do also check the wash water temperature to make sure itโ€™s about the same as the other chemicals, in summer it comes out of the ground the right temperature, in winter I have to mix a little hot water in

Yep, and an unpopular opinion of mine, dev time and temp arenโ€™t that critical, I dev at room temp, usually 22c/71.5f and to me the negs look just fine. ๐Ÿ˜

MDC has always worked for me, that 12 minutes has worked on a few films this year, on a different film this shot was exposed correctly for iso 1600, 1/30 @ f4.5 if I remember correctly, the dev time looks pretty good to me.

I use the Massive Dev Chart times, it gives 12 minutes for Kentmere 400 @ 1600 and that seems about right, this is the 4th film Iโ€™ve shot at that speed and the negs always look good. I have this on 14 minutes but another couple wouldnโ€™t have hurt.

I gave the film an extra 2 minutes development, it could have used more, although Iโ€™m not at all unhappy with what I got.

I found these at a local thrift store today, someone had already bought three of them, I got the rest. Itโ€™s going to take a while to scan them!
