classic or not .. is not so important for me. Because definition of classic or not is still absurd .... mostly depend on age of the person .... some people in my age may be think that full mechanical SLR camera is classic, but the older one (may be) will think that RF is classic , and the younger will say manual focus is classic. always make me confuse to make a group of which one is classic or not, that is why I start to believe that a classic or not is just a funny joke..... leica is classic ..... sony is modern europe cam is classic .... japan cam is modern Large format is classic..... 35mm is modern ... analog is classic.... digital is modern..... BW is classic .... color is modern.. dont know.... and dont care ...

hi all,
is it true that Ultrafine extreme 400 iso is re-brand of Ilford HP5+ ?
Until now, I only read that Arista 400 as a 'copy' of HP5+.....

Michael,
beautiful scenery, I always love watch mountains but never like to climb it, especially the stormy one.
Did you use special filter to take this photograph?

Roy bravo, Sir.... those are a great example for GSN lens. Even if I try to shot the sun in the frame, it still can work for me.... what kind of battery do you use , and what is the total voltage ? cant be patient to see the fuji 400 result... Dave, if I am not wrong, the GSN / GTN need 5.6 volt mercury battery to work. Usually I use 4 hearing aid battrey , 1.4 volt each , as substitute ... and it work for me. is there any other substitute that only use single alkaline battery in your area? didon.-

Mickey
"Darkrooms seem to have gone the way of blacksmiths' shops - interesting historical relics of a bygone era." .... even that is a fact but still so sad to hear that.
I am sure all of you in this forum were a darkroom maniac in the past, so it is make me to collect an information as much as I can from all of you, if you dont mind..... even we can read from the book about darkroom if we want to know it, but it still different if we can discuss something with a people that did it in the past.
a trash for somebody can be a treasure for the others... just like a gear we collect right now, a darkroom experience can be the same example.
Dave,
"In the good old days before negative film was masked it could be used to give negative or reversal in colour or B&W.... "
nice info... now I know why in the box of Lucky film they said it can be used as a reversal...
is it possible to make a colour reversal film from a BW negative ?
didon.-

Peter sadly... I am agree with you.... that pict has no exact POI at all. but after Dave removed the stone, I think the word UANG become the most chosen target, but it still too many lines ... other than missing POI and the absurd composition, I still cant find a good title for this photo..... how I can make a title if I dont know what is the POI ? ...shame on me... Dave has already discussed the power of what UANG means and try to remove the stone to make it 'bright' enough, and even Wayne said "we can't please everyone..", but I still hope that the pict can become a photograph with a message if I can choose a right title for that. any suggestion about that? .... or I hope somebody can tell me how to make a good title for our photos, because title is the most difficult part for me.. thank you to all of you.. didon.-

Dave, in our local darkroom forum, we discuss some kind like that to produce a positive result from BW negative, and Lucky SHD 100 which has clearest seluloid base is our fav for that procedure the sequence at our room temp @ 26*C - parodinal 1:10 12' , 30"+ 10" at first 2 sec - wash - bleach 4', agitate as fast as possible - wash - clearing 3', slow agitate - wash - re-exposure 2' each side - wash - parodinal 1:20 6', slow agitate - wash - fixed using Hypo solution as a bleach, my friend Padmanto suggest to use PK solution + Accu zurr (H2SO4) , for developer we use DIY paRodinal from Paracetamol tablet + NaOH. There is no colour C41 kit around us.. Is that the process that you mean? We still want to try that process with other film that can be found in our city (trix, "neopan", hp5, era), if you can give suggestion which one is the best, that will be very helpfull. * why there is no darkroom sub-forum in this site ? didon.-

Mickey sometime we order film that cannot be found in jakarta from Freestyle or eBay, but the E6 kit cannot deliver overseas because there are some corrosive liquid included in that kit, only special courier service can accept to deliver it in a large quantity ... and like you said, with very expensive and irrational price for personal use Ilford colour and Fujichrome, I will make that films as my experimental target if it possible. thank you for your info and comment for my pict. didon.-
