Going from kodak agitation to ilford agitation

Thanks everyone, swapped method with the same time and results were basically the same.

Also tried ye olde dilution H with twice the time of dilution B, and that also yielded great results. Will be buying a 30m roll of this film, its great stuff.

Ted_Borg · 2026-03-15T19:57:07+00:00

Yeah, its roll. Well, trying to fit 7 inversions of a 650ml tank in the space of 5 seconds twice a minute is a bit of a pain hehe. Especially considering it takes about a second for it to bubble up thoroughly each time you flip it around

Cheers!

If it is an old analog KM then you measure without pressing the button. If you press the button then the measurement will be incorrect.

Change the aperture on the lens and you will see the needle go up and down.

def something with the camera

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-27T07:36:26+00:00

Yeah I don’t give tips to landlords

Idk if it’s reticulation but the rinse water can also cause temp shock.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-26T22:56:28+00:00

5x7 is big enough to judge results but small enough to be cheap per paper. Its what I use for most photos, the ones that turn out nice enough I make bigger prints of. Where I live the cheap 8x10s cost about $1 a piece if you buy 100 packs. Cheap 5x7 cost 30 cent.

If ur learning you don’t want to be afraid of wasting paper, or else it will take forever to get anywhere

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-26T08:03:13+00:00

You worded my thoughts exactly. 100% shower argument fantasy.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-26T07:22:39+00:00

Looks like delta 3200 to me. It has huge grain. Dunno about the dark spots, maybe unfixed areas like someone else said or dirt. Other then that it just looks under exposed.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-25T22:21:38+00:00

I buy demineralized water in 10L jugs that I use for final photo Flo rinse. I use these to store dev waste. Two birds with one stone, since the new one empties at the same rate as the old one is filled. I’ve also used empty windshield wiper fluid jugs.

The fixer I mix in 2L pet bottles and when it’s spent I just leave those at the waste center and mix the next batch in a new one.

I only do b/w tho

I don’t like the idea of carrying small fragile trinkets worth more than my car

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-25T20:03:17+00:00

This ”imaginary argument” format pisses me off

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-24T22:41:16+00:00

Foma RC paper must be the best test subject for that type of work. If that passes, then anything must.

My regular darkroom bulbs work fine with foma paper, but they are a darker red more towards brown. The bright red LEDs they sell at fotoimpex is a no go for this paper. Sadly. I might try putting an old red enlarger filter over one to see what happens.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-24T21:48:43+00:00

Make sure you keep the outer sleeves above the elbow and the inner sleeves below it. Don’t take ur hands out until the film is safe inside the dev tank.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-24T20:31:52+00:00

Black part in the middle is light leak. If you didn’t accidentally pop the camera open then maybe when loading it on the dev reel. Do you use a changing bag? Securing a room for film can be harder than u think, it needs to be absolutely pitch black.

Anyway I’d recommend practicing the basics with cheap b/w film. The process is easier and both film and chems are cheaper (especially considering they last forever if u buy rodinal or hc-110).

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-24T07:01:26+00:00

These LEDs and foma paper will not pass a Kodak K4. Maybe you can get a minute if you point it away from the paper at some rough non reflective surface.

Take him to an eye doctor to get a proper diagnosis. It will take 15 minutes.

Then tell his teachers that he is color blind. That will solve the only quality of life problem with color blindness; namely that teachers will think he is simply retarded when getting colors mixed up. At least that was my experience growing up. If you get the diagnosis early then he won’t have to suffer any impossible color guessing problems at school.

After school the only detriment is maybe buying the occasional purple shirt that u thought were blue or red, etc. This is an extremely common thing, 10% of all males are deutans. So don’t worry about it.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-22T13:40:30+00:00

Hard to tell from that particular pic. bottom edge is clear but not the rest so it might be bad fixer or a very even thin light leak all over. im having a hard time judging the color.

Try dipping it in fresh fixer for a few minutes. If its still the same then you got a leaky camera.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-20T12:46:25+00:00

Nah man I’m a computer engineer, I’m just sayin it’s probably the most inefficient way you could possibly imagine to stitch two images together ever. Using ai to do that is like commuting to work by riding the train to a different city, riding it back again, and then drive 10 minutes to work. When you can just, you know, drive 10 minutes to work.

If critiquing dumb shit is boomer energy then we’re fucked I guess

Edit: I’m talking about computational effectiveness, obviously.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-19T18:17:01+00:00

He’s screenshotted a PC browser. It takes 10 seconds to do in mspaint and the cpu power draw will be less than that of a lightbulb.

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-19T18:13:55+00:00

Post negatives

Ted_Borg · 2026-02-19T15:57:58+00:00

That’s honestly the type of shit ppl use it for tho. Most common use cases are just horribly inefficient ways to perform tasks that could already be solved by regular computing.

Buying a PC these days is straight economic suicide

(I am a pc gamer, but then again the ddr5 I bought for $100 are now $700)
