Hi, gibt es jemand, der die Filme eingemessen hat. Ist es sinnvoll die Filme eine Blende mehr zu belichten? Gruß Sven

Hi, Has anyone calibrated the films? Is it worth increasing the exposure by one stop? Regards, Sven

Hi Sven, I’ve tested the 100 and the 400 and get 80 with Rodinal for the 100 and 250 in A49 for the 400. That won’t help you at all. These are my figures from my own development with my Densi... This question – like so many enquiries of this sort – CAN’T possibly yield a satisfactory answer. Just copying recipes doesn’t work! – and besides, it doesn’t work anyway. Just buy a book on sensitometry – there are plenty; the classic ‘The Negative’ by A. Adams has been reissued and is cheap – and understand what you’re doing! That’s the way to go! Wishing you peaceful darkroom hours, Frank

Hello Frank,

...the classic "The Negative" by A. Adams has been reissued...

Do you have the exact details: publisher, ISBN number? And the other two books (“The Positive” and “The Camera”), are they available again too? Thanks in advance for your reply. Volker

Hi Volker, All three are available, just in paperback and in English, but never mind. I can’t make head nor tail of the ISBNs; in “The Print” it says, among other things, ISBN 978-0-8212-2187-7 PB, the publisher is Little, Brown and Company in NY, and the website is bulfinchpress.com (yes, “bulfinch” with one l). I think I got mine second-hand from eBay. Printed in 2008. “The Negative” is available there second-hand from time to time. They seem to be quite sought-after. Hope this helps. Regards, Frank

Hi Frank, Thanks for the info. I’ll see if I can make use of it. Best regards, V.
