When I first 'came back' to film I used Ilfosol but then fell foul of its relatively short shelf life once opened so switched to using Rodinal (no danger of oxidisation!). In December, knowing that I would be shooting more film than normal and sufficient to use a bottle of Ilfosol before any danger of oxidisation setting in, I bought a bottle (currently just enough left in it for one more roll of 120). Used it with Fomapan 100, Acros 100 & Tri-X with pleasing results. Thank you Keith for your guidance.. I'm only back to wet lab for a couple of months after some decades and try to establish an easy and reliable mode for developing films. Rodinal-an old acquaintance from my photographic youth --seems to be unbeatable regards shelf life and ease of handling-but the grain... 😮. So when I have used up the bottles of Rodinal I´ll give Ilfosol a try..

I forgot about the english... 😎. Nice photo anyway. You are right, Klaus, it's indeed Lady Baker. I had been promising the Baker couple for some time that I'd pop in one fine day and take some pictures of them at work. I did so one summer morning, shooting a couple of rolls in one straight session. Of course there are regulations in France....their outfit is in a remote village at the end of a valley and I suspect either nobody ever shows up to check on their operation or they "know" the right people. However, both Lord and Lady Baker turn out really nice bread and say it is "bio" – whatever that might mean. I have a feeling this "bio" thing might be the next gimmick to catch the fancy of people looking for better alternatives to industrially produced food. I didn't they were properly kitted either, so your comment is spot on. I'll post another pic where she takes time out for a smoko! ...and also their fly-catcher. 😄 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: how to store film media, slides, filmstrips, photos for maximal time? Hello Norman, welcome. When moving my home a couple of years ago, I was confronted with the consequences of snapping happily away for some decades... ending up with 30 k slides.... What I did, was to go through them, kill 2/3 and have the rest digitized... by a lab. Cost me a buck or two... and the outcome wasn't consistently good. Since I just couldn't throw away the digitized slides, I'm still sitting on 6 large removal boxes and will have to go through a further triage... Apart from that, there is a collection of negatives of me and my father and my grandfather and some very early prints from before WW1. What I found about the storage: If you have slides in frames with glass--get them out. They will loose color and catch mould. The films have survived the decades unharmed in their boxes, I just kept them dry on the same shelfs as my books. If you develop your film in your home lab, make sure they are hypo´ed and watered sufficiently and dry before filed away. The negatives are safe in the usual pouches; if paper then it should be acid free, there is a range of filing stuff available, for instance here: https://monochrom.com/en Wrapped up: the printed photos should be boxed in special boxes made of acid free material. Same for the films, if the pouches are made of paper. All of it should be stored in a dry place. It doesn't matter if its cold or warm-but temperature shouldn't vary too much, otherwise you'll get condensation. And the stuff should be able to breathe. The greatest danger is fungus due to airtight, humid boxing. and one last thought: these conservational thoughts are a good moment to think about why we take photos...probably our offspring won't be interested in our artsy pictures... the best we can do, is enjoy the action of taking photos, share them now and have a look at them for yourself once in a while.
