  • This method will result in scratched film. Get a copy of Ansel Adams' "The Negative." DON'T go through the stack at the same pace no matter how many sheets are being developed! Go through the stack in a consistent amount of time.. say 30 seconds no matter how many sheets there are. If you are developing six sheets, move one from the bottom to the top of the stack every 5 seconds, etc. Maybe I will post a video of proper film agitation in trays soon.

  • you havent understood the meaning of this.

    Sure it is easier with a digital camera....but the picture will loose its spirit.

    And of course its a lot fun to do it manual....

see all

  • Expert village just suck

  • If you want vintage photos this is a good process for any modern photography.

  • uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhh.............. uhhhhhhh

  • uhhh this is a uhhh horrible uhhhh video. uhhhh

  • B&H and Adorama are professional sources and should carry all you need.

  • Bob I very much appreciate your reply and information and have found some US suppliers - amazed at how most is still available and rather inexpensive compared to the last I was using them.

  • Kodak, Ilford and Fuji are all still in the film business. We lost Agfa unfortunately and Kodak recently stopped making paper (but some smaller companies have popped up to compete with Ilford etc).

    The biggest problem going forward I think is that there are only a few quality 35mm and MF cameras still being made although against that, large format is having something of a renaissance and the Lomo/Holga type "plastic-fantastics" are ever increasing in popularity.
