With TF-4 (maybe with -5, too, don’t know), 6 minute fix and the magenta is gone. And since the fixer isn’t a reducer, the extended fix time does no harm, according to the Formulary, anyway.

If trump issues a blanket, comprehensive pardon for his entire government and for all military personnel, what recourse will there be? If a prez can not pardon himself because no man can be his own judge, can the case be made that pardons are invalid for those who commit crimes on his orders?

I’ve never used it - I wonder if it also wipes out the annoying magenta cast of T-Max films, an added benefit…?

I only use that old timer for on/off; I use the metronome to time exposures. Plate glass in the brown paper on baseboard for contacts. Two safelights, one red LED in a clamp-on shop light, and an old amber (not trustworthy yet) and I block that window. Works pretty well.

I mentioned it a while ago, but not really. Beseler 67C enlarger with Rodenstock Apo-Rodagon. Took some work to align, but it’s like new. The picture of the enlarger is basically the entire darkroom! I put trays on the counter, wash in the sink; chem stash in a closet, lemon juice bottles for chems.

Thanks - I’ll get ‘em right soon, I think. I’ve never done any selenium toning but will start testing that prob in 10 days or so. Then getting off these RC papers I got for tests and back to good ol’ fiber base prints.

Like Mao promising China’s bright days ahead while 70M died of famine, death by a thousand cuts, torture.

True. She does indeed consider herself the proprietor of a vast swath of Vermont woodland, though she is magnanimous enough to permit other dogs to walk there, too.

Too bad she forgot to bring a flag to plant on the summit!
