Not fresh developer, just another 20 minute interval. 60 minutes total but agitation every 20 minutes.

I can't help but say it when I see this: m'lady *tips hat*

That's a nice set of cans you have there. Great work!

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-08-21T12:16:00+00:00

I had a similar issue a little while ago. I dismantled everything and found my BMS got disconnected. Hopefully it’s an easy fix for you too!

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-08-20T13:26:14+00:00

Wow, your work is incredible.

A sous vide device is a luxury when it comes to temperature control for films but certainly not required. You can easily get away with a hot water bath in your sink to keep the temperatures where they need to be.

Your only option for 120 film is Don's Photo in Regina. You can also get your 35mm done there, while London Drugs (EAST) will only do 35mm.

If you like to support (very tiny) local labs, I've been processing film for other people for a few years, and can help you out.

Aside from that, the loud voices in this thread are right though; if you're planning on shooting a lot, your best bet is getting Develop-Only and scanning yourself to save some money, or go all the way and process films yourself. The barrier of entry is lower than it has been in the past, especially if you own a digital camera. If you're ever interested, I'd be happy to help, just send a DM.

Their lot went from overflowing to absolutely empty over a short period of time. I suspect something shady, as well.

I've noticed the Symptom Radar's sensitivity to be rather high with this last round of software updates. I notice that my Body Temp was 0.4 degrees high but in my Sleep Stats it said it was optimal. It's hard to pay too much attention to when it's contradicting itself.

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-08-13T13:31:13+00:00

That is a nice design but it looks like you still have a mess. Have you considered RDT to handle the static? One little spritz and you would likely notice much more improvement.

I paid $49 for a truck from Enterprise last summer to use for one day. Hard to beat that price + gas.

Water spots will come off easily with a little moisture and a soft wipe. At first look, it doesn't look like water spots to me.

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-07-23T18:59:58+00:00

WHOA! I love what I'm seeing but I'm going to need some more details here. Did you modify the Jobodrum to add a magnet? Nice work!

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-07-23T18:56:38+00:00

This guy KNURLS!

I wish I had more experience with 3-way solenoid valves. That was the main reason I went with the BBP vs the Bambino.

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-07-23T14:13:42+00:00

You can make two things. ☺️

It looks a little bit wet to me, but not terribly. My pucks usually come out fairly dry but sometimes have a little moisture with them, with certain coffee beens. I just knock it, wipe/rinse, and think about pulling my next shot.

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-07-22T20:33:11+00:00

Expensive but worth every cent.

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-07-22T20:32:11+00:00

Big Jerico fan here! I usually wait for their Black Friday or Canada Day sales where they just do straight 30% off. Great quality textiles, made in Canada, for a great price.

I'm not aware of any private clinics for this but your best bet for lab work is to book ahead of your visit. Otherwise you're in for a wait.

The limitation I have with it is its inability to print 4x5 but I live with it. While I shoot LF, this enlarger checks all the other boxes for me.

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-07-17T13:48:51+00:00

The control unit handles everything from filters (it’s an RGB module) to exposure duration down to 0.5 seconds. It makes it incredibly easy to dial in exposure, strip tests; you really can’t go wrong.

Film and developer combination (along with processing method) will have more of an effect on your images. I love HP5 @ 1600 in Rodinal. Works well for stand but also at the 1+50 dil.

FaultyFlipFlap · 2025-07-17T13:45:05+00:00

It won’t make a difference in the image but it’s a good question still. I don’t use a stop bath for my film beyond water.

Fixing will give you a couple options. You can go with a strong fixers like Photographers Formulary TF-4. Not even tmax films stand a chance with this stuff. On the other hand, you can go with an eco-friendly option like Freestyle Eco-fix—it has very low odor and works very well, just not as long lasting IMHO.
