Re: Fogging

Hi... First I would like to thank you all for your advice on trying to get to the bottom of this issue, and I now think I have resolved it. I changed my Dev tank today to a Patterson and I tried the Taco method of processing, the new tank allowed me to fill and empty the tank very quick and also I a...

Re: Fogging

Hi... Update, I went out and did a couple more test shots after I checked the camera for light leaks, I found a few very tiny and I mean tiny holes in the bellows that I have covered. But the problem has not gone away and I don't think that my issue is to do with light leaks, but then again I am new...

Shutter Values on lens

Hi... I hope this is not a silly question to ask, but here goes.

I have timed some of my lower numbers on my Camera and if what I think is right as above the...
