Yeah it's weird. At least with what is shown it'd be cheaper and probably faster to buy from the US. Hopefully will just resolve itself tomorrow

Found something handy to test the serial port. Set the switches to 2400 baud and hooked it up to an old GVC modem, typed at&v with it echoing and pressed enter and was greeted with the modem dumping out its settings. The terminal just works!

A non working ADM3a followed me home today. it's in great shape and no signs of cataracts appearing on the CRT. Dates from very late 1979/early 1980. Some initial diagnoses found that the power switch is bad. Plasticizer leaching from the power cord has rendered the switch inoperable

Web cams and selfie cameras need to have wide fields for view for furries. Always need to be so far away. How else can we fit our massive heads into frame?

One benefit to shooting 6x6 medium format is there is no vertical or horizontal, only square. (If I used Instagram or such that'd be perfect XD)

Tempted to go for the "big boy" stainless tank for developing this time, that way I can do the two colour films together along with the pushed hp5 rolls in one go. Normally I just do single rolls at a time. Though does mean having to load the 35mm film onto a stainless reel. #FurEh2025

Two stainless steel film development tanks, one a standard 500mL one for 2x 35mm or 1x 120, and one extra tall for 4x35mm or 2x120

And the final two. At this point I'd ran out of film and didn't get any of the B&W rolls I had with me loaded in time. There were a lot more suits than I expected and certainly was rushing my shots more than I should have.
