Simple question about rangefinders

Deleted user 17.06.06, 15:10

For a good adjustable viewfinder, look for one of the old Zeiss Contax models, or the Russian Zorki.

Platinum Printing Chemical Supplies in Germany

Felicitas Willems 03.09.08, 10:21

For ready made products the two that are mentioned above are the best suppliers available. Very reliable, quick and with some broad offer of nearly everything.

If you want to mix your alternative developers and toners your self, go and see the local chemist (Apotheke).
They may ask questions what you are suffering from and what you intend to cure with it :-) but usually they can provide everything legal in small volumes.

If you are lucky enough to have a real drug store (Drogerie) close by then try them. Do not even think of trying one of the major drugstore chains (DM, Rossmann, Schlecker, ...). I mean one of the privatly driven old style drugstores which are dying out everywhere.

Scratches?

usban 29.01.10, 19:16

The other way the film can be scratched is in camera, either when winding on or re-winding, although this would normally show as continuous scratching, have you checked the mechanism of the camera, the parts where the film would be resting against while you rewind, it is possible for some of the protective felt to have come off or even some tiny piece of film/dust/dirt to stick on, which might give a rough edge.

London

Thomas Biesewig 04.04.06, 11:58

Hello Thomas,

I' ve just checked the latest issue of the british publication " Black & White Photography " in the classified section.
There is an advertisement from
www.silverprint.co.uk ( Valentine Place, London SE 8QH ).
Maybe they sell what you are looking for.

I was suprised, that there are plenty of ad's form labs all around in the UK, but at first glance, just one ad from London.

BTW : I started to be a regular reader of the above mentioned publication two years ago and I can recomend it because of their passionate dedication to black & white photography , both digital and analogue.

Good luck for you in London and
Freundliche Grüße aus
good old Germany

Being the exclusive judge of one's own work is dangerous. It also leads to a situation where criticism is hard to accept. There are examples in this community who have definite opinions about their own work, and it does not reflect experience.
Run your work by successful people who know what they're talking about, and you are more likely to get an opinion that will help you grow as a creative person, regardless of which discipline you work in.

Scanning negatives

Viviane Barnier V. 07.09.08, 18:14

Vivienne, the most basic way to copy a slide is to use a piece of smoked or frosted glass, fixing the slide to it, let natural light through, and copy with your digital camera, if it can focus that close. Even if it does not, you can crop away what you don't need. If you always do this in the same place, maybe your bedroom window, you end up with exposure data that you can use all the time.
An alternative to frosted glass is thin architectural drawing sheets. You need to cut out any glare from clear glass.
