I think you probably take the longevity award, David, although Stephen didn't say how far back in the last century he started his bottle! One thing that I think is worth adding: I've changed to mixing my Photo-flo (in de-ionised water) in a separate jug. After 4 washes (Ilford cadence) in the...

Prices varying rather a lot at the moment. Just checking out 2xFP4, 5xKentmere100 and 5xKentmere200, all 36 exposures. Comes to £83.43 at Analogue Warehouse but £72.60 at Wex! Both free delivery above £50. I find this page useful in checking film prices, although it's initially confusing as...

That looks very interesting, however it looks like it doesn't include iPad? Hard to tell: "Works on macOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, OpenBSD, and many others".

I rarely use my 24mm lens but I had a lot of fun with this roll. When it works, it works! This is Hollis Lane, 15 minutes walk from home. Pentax MX, SMC Pentax-A 24mm f/2.8, yellow filter, Kentmere 200, Adox HC-110 dilution E.

I keep thinking I'd like an iPad; it turns out I'm the only member of my extended family that doesn't! But then I think what I use my Mac for: search and social media and browsing, yes, fine on an iPad. But anything to do with photos (real ones, not iPhone snaps) is in my C1Pro catalogue and the...

This the one where age verification comes for IOS itself?

This seems like a good idea, although I do worry about the temporary nature of domains. Ten years sounds great... but for me would be long enough to forget that it needs renewing... presumably if someone swooped on it they would have some level of control over your email. I'm not sure what an...

It says "The new update carries build number 22H333 and is meant for users who either cannot move to the newer software branch or prefer to stay on the previous version for now." [My emphasis...] I'm in the second camp, but I have not been able to find anything to tell me how to make this...

It used to be great when they did their long running Buy One Get One Half Price offer. I used to save up my Boots points until I had enough for two rolls. It's also worth asking whether they really want to charge full price if you happen to find expired rolls; I've had some great bargains that...

Just in time for the weather to turn bad... bad weather can make great photography, but first you have to go out in it! I was going to load a roll of FP4 in my GS645S which hasn't had an outing for a while, got it out and ready, but it turns out I have Tri-X, HP5, Kentmere and maybe some Acros...

My sister has just had to move her home phone service to digital voice, which prompted me to look at what happens when my current Plusnet contract runs out. It turns out that Plusnet do not (at least in my area) offer a broadband service with a phone service. They seem to be recommending moving...

Might the results depend on which Android phone is used? There's probably a much greater variety of sensors than in the iPhone range...

Holy thread revival! FP4Party has started over on Bluesky, and I'm trying to get some action going on Mastodon too. So why not on here? Key points: All that will work if you're on Bluesky, but I suspect if we did it here it would just be for our own enjoyment. Not sure how you get Ilford...

Maybe worth posting these two misty evening frames from my first roll of Street Candy ATM 400 that I got with a load of Superia 400 from @niko last year. a) b) Taken on a Pentax MX with the SMC Pentax-M 35mm f/2 lens, rated at EI 250, developed in XTOL by The Darkroom UK in Cheltenham. The...

I bought some Harman RED too, in both 120 and 135. Last time I tried to buy some, from AW's website, I got confused and bought Phoenix instead! I've previously had some expired Lomo redscale got from a previous Photography Show, and I've done some redscaling of my own (about the easiest thing...
