I have found that I can get away without the tempering bath when doing up to 4 sheets 5x4 in modified print tank. Use the pre soak to get the drum and film up to temp and keep all chemicals at temp in a waterbath, the wash between stages keeps the drum temp stable and as it is only the first dev tha...

Hi Johnathan, If one camera has an iris opening of f22 for 2 min it will let in x amount of light. If the same camera has an iris opening of f4 for 2 min it will let in 5x amount of light, as f4 is 5 times larger than f22. So if in the first example the iris alowed say 10 lux ( measurement of light ...

Hi Ian, I don't quite understand your interesting comment here. Surely if the LF user metered 2min at F22 and the SF user 2min at F4, the total light energy available inside the camera over the 2 minute period would be the same, regardless of the outside light levels (on the grounds that I don't ha...
