This time, let's start from the beginning of the process. Films - you know ? these treated ribbons we used to insert in cameras to register as much as 36 pixes ! - films, I say, had to be treated. here are a few tools from my collection.

Development coud br processed in dark room with a FIMAN glass drum or even as from 1931 - nothing stops progress - in daylight thanks to the Correx tank.

To roll or cut films, I had the AGRIF hand winder and the ABCOO blade (with leather case !).

To print the photos, I had the quite bulky FILIT "box", and I used the enlarging paper stored in the PBOOC light-tight wooden box.

Wow 1 enough for today, I am already tired just remembering all that ... poesy.

...this is really cool stuff from yesteryears, Pecole - it gives a bit more meaning to the processes that we darkroom "bats" have come to enjoy so much. Please keep them coming and thanks for taking the trouble to present them to us. More, more!

I love to use old Correx tank! Easy and quick to load - two films at the same time.

 

The Leitz Rondinax is great, too!

 

The glass drum has only interest with positive film and orthocromatic. It would be very difficult to use with the Panatomic-X and other new emulsions!
