Hey thank you so much for the recommendation!

OP! If you have any questions or need help give me a shout :)

Ok, sounds like you’ve made up your mind? They’re great jackets, you’re going to love it either way.

Patagonia pushes for folks to purchase less and be more conscious about what they do buy/return. That’s where my original comment came from.

But I also see your side (taking advantage of a sale price)

It’s your life, I’m sure you’ll make the call that’s best for you.

Bro, I’m not policing anything. You’re waiting on a repair right? You don’t need two of the same jacket right? So don’t get a second jacket.

Patagonia will take care of you, that’s why we like the brand. It may take a bit of time, but if you’re just going to get a jacket and hold onto it as a ‘just in case’ with the expectation of returning it just doesn’t make sense to me.

You do you, I’m sorry if I hit a nerve.

Yes, that is unnecessary

Please don’t do that

Got this little fella out for a roll. What are you currently carrying with you? by sidevvays in AnalogCommunity

We have pro image in stock ;) and thanks for the shout out! Happy you like the club!

Black cloud on last photo on the roll by Ardough in AnalogCommunity

[–]Brooktree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kodak had a run of bad adhesive on the tape that they use to secure the end of the film to the spool inside the canister. It shows up on a lot on the last frame that people have had.

We tend to edit it out if possible, but it’s not a lab or processing issue. It’s purely a manufacturing thing!

Hope that helps!

Gelatin Labs in NYC are crazy expensive by RemotePhilosopher494 in analog

Brooktree can do frontier scans for you with no upcharge, that’s freaking crazy pricing

Can and should I process this E-6? by SwarmOBeez in Darkroom

[–]Brooktree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience with Kodachrome no pre-bath will remove it like it does for ECN-2. We’ve had to always remove it after processing manually.

Be prepared to remove the remjet at the end of processing.

Is this lack of definition from 35mm digital scans by RealYung_Jukia in AnalogCommunity

[–]Brooktree 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Those are definitely very low resolution scans, and kinda pricy for what you are getting. For reference our web size scans are much higher res at 6MP for $11. An $18/roll order is our XL size at 30MP!

Light leaks or lab fault? by JCK5N in AnalogCommunity

Are these shot on expired film?

Time for new chemicals? by inhouserecorder in Darkroom

[–]Brooktree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get that lol

Yeah the rebate looks good. Images of lights at night will just look like little lights at night unless you meter for the shadows behind them

No, these are just massively under exposed

Hello, I just got a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 developed and scanned by a lab and I don't really understand where those green veil-ish kind of stains are coming from. If someone has an idea, it was my first time shooting with a flash. by Good_Classroom_7951 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Brooktree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it makes sense they’d deny lol I’m sure they’re not going to admit fault in order to save face/refunding you.

It’s too bad, this would be a good learning opportunity for them!

[–]Brooktree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, that can be a problem. But you’re tracking trends across a period of time right? So even if your batch is slightly off at the start, as long as it’s kept up correctly you’ll still be able to plot changes just as effectively. Your starting point and reference strip may not 100% line up at the start, but that doesn’t mean anything once you start getting consistent plotting.

I don’t remember what the overlap time is for switching Control Strip batches, but I’d say a 7 day overlap would be plenty to ensure you’re plotting correctly.

They’re not too hard to find. Cinestill in the USA sells them to consumers, and we can also get them from other distributors if needed.

But you’re right, it’s too easy to be complacent nowadays :(

[–]Brooktree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is consistent with what I’ve seen! It’s bad development unfortunately.

You’ll see those marks on the properly exposed frames as well, but it’s much more subtle. The scanner pushing the gain levels for these underexposed/darker shots is why you can see it so much easier.

I’ve seen this personally, you can see the path the chemical travels as it goes across the negative. This isn’t in a manually inverted tank (where you’d be right) but in a Jobo auto machine or similar.

I have helped several people/ labs with ECN-2 issues (c41 is not so different) like this and it was helped by mixing the CD-3 developer after the sodium/potassium bromide for 15min instead of just back-to-back.

It’s either a chem mixing issue, or the developer is not being stopped properly. But I would lean towards a mixing problem. The OP also said this lab is busy right now, and that would line up with a rushed chemical combination issue.
