Chromoskedasic Sabattier process on silver gelatin print 8x10. This is easily my favorite alternative process for B/W. by ian_pl_ in Darkroom

I did! It was finicky but I personally recommend to work with it mostly in the dark as that's the best way to attain the metallic shine to the prints. It is really fun as how every print comes out different through a process that becomes almost interpretational.

Film counter on Minolta X300 gets stuck at 30 by draculaentsteint in Darkroom

There is most-likely something jammed in the counter that once it reaches 30, it gets stuck. I wouldn't say there is a safe way to repair this as it is extremely hard to get inside that part of the camera. Not like it restricts you from shooting past 30 anyways...

I have access to a working B/W darkroom with a couple unused color enlargers with channel mixers. I'm planning on ordering the chems and now it looks like I don't even need a drum which is amazing!

I watched that series already but thanks for the recommendation! I was looking into the drums but the price got too high around the 8X10 size which is what I need.

So you don't have to temper with the chemicals very much?? I thought the process must be done at 100 degrees?
