I didn't write much this week, but I was rather busy. Just now I have
developed third set of films and that means I have now 18 rolls developed
from summer period of traveling.
I also come to situation when I used the last bottle of Paterson Aculux
II. The era of Aculux is over now from me. Last three films are developed
in Fotospeed FD10, great developer. My feeling is that it is actually
better than Aculux. I have bought before summer two canister for 5 liters.
I know that this is probably not much of interest to most of you, but I
write this a bit also for me. So please bear with me.
You may know tha I was using my old Palm IIIxe as timer for developing my
films. Well I had all my database of times there so I can conveniently
select film and developer and it was preset for the time I was using for
that particular combination. Somehow I left it over the summer and battery
died taking with it also all my timings. Well, I have stored for each film
I ever develop, used timing in my photo management software, IMatch, so
nothing is really lost.
But after this and also to avoid some unpractical issue with driving Palm
with stylus or pouring developer over its screen, I decided to by hardware
timer. I bough bloody expensive one. almost 30 euro, with two independen
timers and nice big numbers. It is a pleasure to work with it.
So I am happy, this week quite a few films developed, new timer, new
developer and all looks very good. Soon enough you will see some new
images.
