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

I had hoped to take some pinhole photos on world pinhole day, unfortunately it’s pouring with rain here. Instead, here are the first and second pinhole photos I took. Speed Graphic HP5 #filmphotography

Some interesting formats in the boxes of slides I found recently, 24x24mm and what appears to be 24x18mm I’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. I’m planning on retiring to a more expensive place in a couple of years so I’ll probably switch to the Ilford method then.

MikeBar1966 @mikebar1966.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I agree with consistency, I count my inversions to make sure they’re the same film to film. I do also check the wash water temperature to make sure it’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 aren’t that critical, I dev at room temp, usually 22c/71.5f and to me the negs look just fine. 😁

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.

12 minutes according to my app?

MikeBar1966 @mikebar1966.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

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 I’ve shot at that speed and the negs always look good. I have this on 14 minutes but another couple wouldn’t have hurt.

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

It’s perfectly OK to use the auto modes on your camera, not everything has to be shot in manual mode.

100 and 125 ISO I shoot at box speed, 400 I usually push, Kentmere and HP5 both look good at 800 and 1600.
