I salvaged a 2.5mm connector from some headphones (no idea where they came from with that connector) and wired a toggle switch to it and mounted the switch in a film cannister. Does the job too, but i think this beats it for the price ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜‚

Purple iris photographed through the trichrome process. There's a slight blue line horizontally through the image due to a light leak on the blu channel.

Another trichrome of an iris.

Yep, that ship most likely has sailed.. I do wonder if Aerocolor IV also falls in the category Kodak won't sell to respoolers anymore. Would be a great shame (again for the scanning ease, but in general for the choice of films!).
Thanks for the link!

One of my fav films, mainly because I digitise with my DSLR, the maskless base makes conversion so much easier! :)
Just wish one could buy it in bulk!

Amazingly the word's history actually encompasses alumium, aluminum & aluminium! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Brilliant angle! You have to look close to see the modern cars, upon first glance it could very well be from a couple of decades ago ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm not sure if that will happen, after all HP5 was 'replaced' with HP5 Plus, and FP4 with FP4 Plus.
I can't see why they'd make a new emulsion to replace FP4 Plus to be honest :)

Did you get to try those tri-chromes already @motelart.bsky.social ? ๐Ÿ˜„

Photographic plate with wrinkly gelatine emulsion, that had softened and started to delaminate from the glass plate during developing.

Kinda fun effect, but in reality an unintended emulsion lift on my hand coated 9x12 plate. (Rodinal likes attacking unhardened emulsions, but I had forgotten that ๐Ÿ˜‚)
Wipe the plate and re-use or hold on to it?
