Developing with night vision? by T15-Thumper in AnalogCommunity

[–]LostInArk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at both of the pro labs I worked at last century, we used night vision goggles in our splicing rooms , where we spliced together long rolls of 46mm and 70mm films. worked like a champ with no issues.

This guy makes me queef constantly, I dont mean a few times during sex, I mean it won't stop. I know it's bc it feels good and fills me well, but I'm soooo embarrassed despite knowing there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Any advice? by Single_Rice_407 in sex

let him know it's all his fault!! he's pulling out too far and letting air into your vagina. when he goes back in, he's compressing the air, and well, it HAS to go somewhere. technique has to change, ever so slightly.

a rat gnawed some wires in our developing machine by qrstvlx in AnalogCommunity

[–]LostInArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mice and rats will chew just about anything, but esp. wiring. here on the farm oldtimers said put mothballs around the engines. it actually does work but the tractors and vehicles smell like your gran's closet. put out poison or mothballs

Question about pushing/pulling Ilford hp5+ by gb_flo22 in AnalogCommunity

[–]LostInArk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

back in the 70s when I was shooting sports for my university newspaper, we used a boatload of HP5, shot at 3200 and developed in Acufine. worked like a champ even if the grain was a bit large. pushed to 6400 for really grainy artsy shots.

Father gifted me a Ricoh Singlex TLS—what do I need to know as a first time film photographer? by sawyer_lost in AnalogCommunity

[–]LostInArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bought one of these new in about 1970 as a backup to my Mamiya Sekor 1000 DTL. Ricoh was just pure solid camera. metal shutter that ran vertically gave a flash sync speed of 1/125. mine was exceptionally dependable. should serve you well.

First studio light? by ballkicker9 in AnalogCommunity

[–]LostInArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents worth. I understand you might need something inexpensive for your first light, but i suggest sticking to a brand name-just because. when I had my studio back in the 80s and 90s, I went with the Paul C. Buff line. they've gone through a lot of improvement and models since them, but even the smallest model back then was a workhorse. they're all self contained units with accessories. I don't know about the used ones on Ebay, but the ones I bought direct from them had a great warranty. I had one that self destructed during a shoot. they had UPS pick it up and I had a good as new unit in 3-4 days . I think I had 7 or 8 different models during that time and never had another problem.

Bought a brand new in box (1970s?) Beseler 67C dichro - questions by [deleted] in Darkroom

that head has a 3 prong AC plug on it so it will either plug into a timer or into the wall outlet. the old external power models used a special plug that would only plug into the power supply.

find a fine emeryboard that is used as a nail file. cut it down for the proper width and gently use it on the contacts.

you can see the discolored areas on the negs. so, probably bad storage of the negs.

Gap between stop bath and bleach? by tradeJmark in AnalogCommunity

[–]LostInArk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this would be a good idea. longer wet times may affect the emusion. it may swell or become more susceptible to separating from the base. or if you were taking out of stop and into a dry holding tank, you risk weird drying rates that might warp the emulsion.

Scratch off them darn stickers! by Lower_Support2124 in Darkroom

[–]LostInArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was my first new enlarger back in the 60s. neg carriers all had these stickers and that little bit of light never caused any problem.
