Edge from a m310 durst

What do you think of this Durst M301 lens? I can't check it out myself, but the price is attractive. The seller tells me everything is fine. submitted by /u/tonebackphotos [link] [comments]

Low contrast negatives

Hi there! I recently took my first photos using my homemade pinhole camera (cardboard, 0,36mm aperture), and went to develop the paper (fomaspeed 312, about 13 minutes of exposure) at my uni’s darkroom. However, the negatives turned out greyish and low contrast, to the point of the positives being completely white. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I know the problem is not in the revealing…

Anyone have experience with the Lomo UPB-1A?

Really loving at-home dev and scanning on my Epson. I own a few projectors that I've collected from Garage/Estate sales. I've seen that it's *possible* to dev super 8/8mm/16mm at home using a Lomo UPB-1A (or 1B if you come across the larger rarer version). My question is, how practical is this? Do you actually save money using this versus developing & scan with a lab? Any input would be greatly…

Dark Enough?

Noob question here: how dark should I aim to be with a darkroom? I'm building out a workbench area to be a darkroom for my wife and while I've sealed out the edges of the room quite well, unfortunately this room happens to also have an entire server rack. There are several dozen blinky lights that I'm trying to cover individually with tiny pieces of foil tape or I might hang a blackout curtain…

C-41 in a Stearman Tank

I am new to this, so please bear with me on what may be a silly question: I need to develop roughly 80 sheets of 4x5 film in my Stearman tank over a one-month period of time, so I purchased a 5L Kodak C-41 kit, planning to mix 1L at a time and use the replenish method. But do I even need to replenish? This kit is rated for 40 rolls of 35 mm (equivalent to 160 4x5 negatives) for single-shot use.…
