Joerg-Peter Rau shares his thoughts on the loss of his darkroom that was located in the basement of his mother's home. Reading this essay is but one of several recent serendipities that are compelling me to revisit black and white film photography and to get my film developing gear out of the cabinet where it has laid dormant for too long...

Hi Everyone I've just got a film back from a develop and scan, with apparent processing problems - I wondered if those with more experience might tell me what I'm looking at - are these drying marks on the negative, or a (Noritsu) scanner problem? If the problem is that the negs haven't been dried correctly and marks are showing during the scan, is there any way of getting the marks off the negatives ? Thanks in advance for your comments (for info camera is 11f Red Dial in great condition, 3,5 Red Scale Elmar the same, Fison hood in place, film is XP2 C41 processed)

Hi everyone, I'm planning to switch to Leica IXMOO reloadable film cassettes for bulk loading. However, the 5 cassettes that I managed to purchase all contain some degree of oxidation, so I'd like to give them a clean before putting them to use. Can anyone recommend a product and method with which to do this? I've heard vinegar works quite well, but obviously an IXMOO is a little more advanced than a doorknob, so I wanted to check first. Thanks in advance -
The 5219 was exposed and developed both rating at EI 800. So the developing time was extended for 40 seconds. The other process are as the manual tells of the ECN-2 kit I bought. Noted: I tend to overexpose one stop than the meter suggests at daylight when the meter is pointed to the lightened ground. I have got decent results and better histogram distribution on digital. The film density looks very high, the film roll looks darker than the previously lab-developed 5219. My father uses Silverfast 8 and Plustek 8200iSe to scan my film. He turned on the ISRD feature to remove dust and scratches. However, with the ISRD on, the images are fine on preview, but all corrupted at the final output. Normally, when clicking into the infrared layer, only dust and scratches are shown. However, on this 5219, it shows the whole image in the infrared layer. He took a picture of the screen display: The SilverFast claims that the ISRD function does not work for BW film and Kodachrome because there are silver grains on the film, which reflect or deflect the infrared ray, and let the ISRD function mistakes the grains as dust and scratches, corrupting the whole image. Examples are easily found on google. Summarize the information I collected, I highly suspect the bleaching process with this ECN-2 kit was incomplete on this roll of 5219. It left a layer of silver grain upon the emulsion. I googled and learned the “bleach by-pass” for cinematography film processing, which creates the special visual effect with the silver atop the dyes. To support this, the provided image from the Plustek 8200i “Quick scan”, shows highly washed color and overexposure in scanning:

Here is an interesting story of how one man's photographic journey went full circle, bringing him back to his roots in film photography. He shows some interesting images along with the essay : http://emulsive.org/articles/return-to-film/my-return-to-film-adib-mufty
