Thanks Henry, the ingredient missing at my end is the distilled water. It’s not stocked on the high street, or in out of town shops, but has to be ordered on-line. The shipping costs normally swamp (there’s a pun there somewhere!) the cost of the distilled water, so tap water will have to suffice. On the positive side I don’t think it’s too hard; over time I hardly see any lime scale building up in the kettle.

Steve ,  for distilled water you can find it in local supermarket ,  it's cheap

and you can use the same distilled water with wetting agent if you develop the same day several  rolls .

Best H

Thanks, Adam. It's doing tricks on my brain, too. Time for another Starbucks triple shot espresso! BTW the blue is actually a storefront that I had no idea was going to work this way.

The Pond is another of your awesome OM catalogue. "Oh, my!" One can certainly loiter a great while in the kaleidoscope of your abstract blur reflections.

Thanks, Rog.   Unfortunately, we have too much loitering in our NYC ponds.... :(

Very interesting, Gary.  That looks like a giant pretzel :)

Restarting analog: recently processed provia roll from 2017. A roll that was dormant in my M7. must have been with 35mm summilux ash.

How do you go about removing surplus water without needing to touch the film? I've heard from others the occurence of water marks even when using something to break the surface tension.

Steve,

In addition to Henry's advice.

For years I simply washed with the reel in the tank, with a home made force feed system, where the wash water is fed into the centre and allowed to flow upwards through the reel and out the top. Ilford have an info sheet on a different method, where you change the water as I recall, one which possibly uses less water.

Foto-Flo is the industry standard, but I use simple dish washing detergent, a few drops. Final rinse and soak for a few mins then hang.I have some old processing clips, stainless ones. For many years I'd run the film (more especially 35mm) through my (index and middle) fingers along the length, like a squeegie.

I recall reading a very good reply by "Adan" on this very subject, but it might take some finding. He doesn't squeegie, but holds the film on an angle and shakes it, getting most of the water to one side and allowing it to drain off the edge. Hopefully Adan will see this and reply.

We have bore water on the farm, superb to drink, but a nightmare for minerals etc in the wet areas, bathrooms etc, stains. I usually use "town-supply" for my coffee machine, our son brings me a bottle or two of his town-supply stuff every week, and takes home more than a few bottles of our bore water to drink. My final soak is usually this town-supply and the aforementioned detergent.

Either way, give it a go, it's fun, part of the process, and something else you can control along the way.

Gary

This is a picture from my nature.digital.art series. Normally I use digital photographs for this kind of post processing, but here it still works with a slide film 😁

That's really a fantastic picture!
Also on your website I like it very much!
Are these long time exposures?

Really good, Patrick.  No bluish shadows or magenta.  Seems like that Provia held up well.  I have a similarly aged roll at my lab right now for processing today and I hope it is well preserved as yours (although the exposure won't be as spot on :) )

Thanks for sharing and hope to see more of your analog

Thank You very much, Andreas :)

These are no longtime exposures, I only used photoshop filters.

Thank you very much Adam... currently finishing a legacy roll of provia 400X in my M7. we ll see.

I confess that i currently use mostly my Contax G2 as travel camera. And i pretty much  enjoy it. 😊.

Will strive to do a bit more M7 over Xmas and New Year. Got some fresh provia 100F

 

Cheers

Patrick

Sounds good, Patrick.  You are most welcome to share you photos from the G2 as well :)  We don't discriminate on this thread

Lately I've been using a salad spinner: after the final rinse with decriminalized water and photo-flo, I shake the reels by hand, I put them in the spinner and I pray the centrifugal force to do the job for me. So far it works fine.
