    Enlarging - Is there a way that a 6x8 negative can be printed on an enlarger that is spec'd\designed as a 6x7?

    I would guess the way to go would be to make a 6x8 neg carrier out of cardboard and expose a sheet of paper with focussed light passing through the carrier, process paper and assess how even the illumination is. If it is suitable, it will be a combination of how conservative LPL were in design...

    How to separate negatives stuck together

    I have done an accidental emulsion lift on a 120 roll of FP4+. It was winter and the tap water was very cold which I warmed up using the single lever mixer tap I had intended to slowly reduce the hot water as the wash time elapsed, I did not realise that I was actually slowly increasing the hot...

    Feranniacolor Invertibile question

    We used to reversal process TMX when I was at college in the mid 1980's which had a fairly clear base, obviously not as clear as Agfa Dia Direct but cheaper and faster as it did not have to be posted off to be processed. There are a couple of examples of reversal processed TMX in my London in...

    Tutorial Should you use a filter on your lens?

    So far I have over come the urge to lecture strangers using lenses with reversed lens hoods but only just.

    Balcony Film Lab - missing scans - advice needed!

    I am slightly confused, did they process the B&W films and return the developed negatives to you without scans or is everything lost? Just to add, I process and scan my own film so I don't know how labs usually operate regarding delivery of negatives.

    If you weren't sure before...

    That is the way we priced up used kit when I was in the trade thirty odd years ago. There are other operating costs, staff, electric, rent on premises, insurance, theft or shrinkage plus the fact if you have it in stock too long it will be worth less every month in a falling market. It is not...

    It is a fine collection but they, the film cameras, were made to be used so sadly perhaps it is time to pass them to new hands. I hope that when you do sell them they get some more use.
