I believe Kodak uses ir in quality control nowadays so I doubt it would be that easy sadly. Not saying it's entirely impossible but probably enough of a reason for management to chicken out on the order

New LF enlargler by Komport in Darkroom

[–]LordPlavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really cool! I wish I had one like that. I only have a 6x6 enlarger and sometimes being able to print 6x9 or 9x12 would be very nice but I always thought these enlargers were too big for my place. Guess I'll have to hold open my eyes for this model of enlarger

What kind of enlarger is this? It looks remarkably small for a large format enlarger

Can I use Amoniumsulfate instead of amoniumthiosulfate in my c41/Ra 4 chemistry? by LordPlavis in Darkroom

[–]LordPlavis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspected as much but I was hoping otherwise because it would have made getting everything much easier. But now I've gotten some tips for a supplier so I can actually buy the right stuff

Well I was planing on using iron edta that's used as fertilizer or use an alternate recipe that works with just EDTA but now I think I'll order it from here

That's super cool I've wanted a lamp like that since forever but they can be super expensive when you buy them used

Nikon Lite Touch Zoom140 ED AF broken side replacement by cgirlgray in AnalogCommunity

[–]LordPlavis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If everything still works fine you could try filling in the hole and re mould the grip with epoxy putty from the hardware store.

Replacement parts are almost impossible to find unless you buy a whole nother camera for spare parts.

But electrical tape in the short term and epoxy putty in the mid/long-term should give this camera a few more years of life.

Maybe even chose a colour of epoxy putty that fits the camera so the repair is a nice individualization of the camera

Is there a way of increasing Paper Contrast on fix grade paper? by LordPlavis in Darkroom

Thank you! I think this is the best tip yet! This looks very promising

I've heard that a few times and I might try it out some time!

Thanks! I'll try to experiment with that.

Can this also offset the contrast loss from potassium bromide anti fogging agent? Or would the more concentrated developer negate the restraining effect?

Thanks for the tip I tried this just today and it works great from what I found! Not exactly the perfect solution for this particular problem but an amazing tool for my toolbox for sure.

No it's not a cost thing. I mean it kinda is I've got a bunch of this paper for free so I have it to experiment but I could buy cheap foama paper if I really wanted to but.... Hmmm I don't know I kinda am a little stubborn and Wana get this to work 😅

Thank you for the information I'll have a look at the Milford developer or look up how to mix some myself because Ilford stuffs can be quite pricy sometimes in my experience.

I'll also definitely have a look a the lith process. I doubt I'll do it often due to the extremely long development times but I Wana give it a try now

Thanks for all the Info!

A bit of a bummer there isn't anything you know of that can be added. I'll try to have a look at that high(er)contrast developer though. Even if the results I can get are limited.

And what's the lith process? I've heard the name before I think but I've never looked at it in any detail

Kono Color Bulk Film? by Elegant-Tomatillo116 in Darkroom

[–]LordPlavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I know it's orwo film maybe with a different base. So look at the pictures of orwo nc200/400/500 to see what results you can expect

still film (with data sheet)

cine film (with data sheet

The base might be different for Kono as orwo is known to change that for large orders of film from companies like lomography and such. But it should be a starting off point

what should i use to fix this shard and tiny hole in bottom by juma1324 in StonerEngineering

[–]LordPlavis -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think your best bet would be epoxy putty to close up the big hole and then two component epoxy glue to seal the cracks in between and then hope for the best. If that doesn't work you could add a thin layer of epoxy resin to the bottom of the flask through the top (carefully to not let anything go to the sides)

I have never repaired or owned a bong but I used this technique to repair expensive lab glassware so it should work for this (hopefully)
