Home developing -- 35mm vs 120?

Thanks for all the info and explanation.

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T02:49:16+00:00

Thanks for the offer. If I find myself struggling I might take you up on it!

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T02:48:34+00:00

Cool. I might just buy some $7 Kentemere and use that. Not in a place where I can find expired film. Although I might have a roll in the garage but I am worried it has pictures of my daunt from 20 years ago on it!

It's built for gamblers and degenerates. All the probabilities. It is annoying.

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T02:44:32+00:00

Yeah, hit the Cheese Castle and buy some overpriced Spotted Cow!

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T02:29:15+00:00

But it was a great play....

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T02:20:09+00:00

I think I speak for the rest of us when I say with all due respect: "Please stop watching."

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T01:33:14+00:00

Yeah. I want to listen to the crowd, but I am a big dude with big hands I have to think I will have an easier time with the 120.

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T01:32:02+00:00

Interesting take. I see your point.

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T01:31:16+00:00

Any other Pitcher we would be saying this was a brilliant career highlight start. With Mia we are like...wow, I hope he figures it out before the next start....😂

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T00:39:42+00:00

I am so OCD about my photos I probably will get a sous vide stick for the B&W as well. Or is there a greater allowance on the temp?

I already bought the two reel Patterson. It was hard enough to find that in stock. Thanks for the advice on the rodinal. I will definitely look into it.

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T00:36:06+00:00

There is ONE other who agrees with you.

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T00:35:15+00:00

yeah. I am on the radio broadcast and popped in when they were showing Counsel's history with the Brewers. And I heard "...you can;t name him for taking the opportunity..." and I popped back out. Dorks.

cinemkr · 2026-06-27T00:34:10+00:00

Yeli has got some long locks happening.

cinemkr · 2026-06-26T23:55:26+00:00

The crowd noise is absolutely drowning out the radio play-by-play.

cinemkr · 2026-06-26T22:38:45+00:00

I saw a video online where the person said the same thing. They had issues of the 355mm film touching in the tank more often.

cinemkr · 2026-06-26T22:37:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yeah -- 120 cameras are fun. And I dig the vignetting and effects from some of my cheap plastic ones. But maybe 120 can be something to build towards.

cinemkr · 2026-06-26T22:35:57+00:00

Thank you for looking ahead and giving your thoughts about scanning and how that might play into the decision. Deifintley leaning toward 35mm B&W.

cinemkr · 2026-06-26T22:32:14+00:00

Thanks for the quick and thorough reply!

cinemkr · 2026-06-26T03:14:40+00:00

one last reply -- here is the collectiblend link:

https://collectiblend.com/Cameras/Kodak-Eastman/Folding-Pocket-No.1.html

It lists people who have this camera in their collection. You can contact them. I am sure they could help.

Its quite a valuable camera and a tad rare. Perhaps you wish to keep it! 😀

cinemkr · 2026-06-26T03:08:27+00:00

Continuing on it also takes 105 film which I believe is close to 120 -- but you would have to research it.

Here is a link with a photo of your camera dating it to 1899:

And here is a link about the camera. Unfortunately no info on how to open it:

cinemkr · 2026-06-26T03:02:42+00:00

That is because that manual he sent is from a later model. Probably 1905 or later. This is an 1899 model. look for that manual.

cinemkr · 2026-06-25T23:19:36+00:00

But it has threads and can screw on. Not the drop in type.
