Re: Developing Chemical Disposal
This is the best choice - to take all your old chemistry to a household hazardous waste pickup point so it can be dealt with properly. Putting them into your septic system creates two issues. The first being any potential damage to your septic/soil absorption system and the possibility of the chemicals killing the bacteria that are the workmen of the system. The second issue has to do with the non-biodegradable chemicals passing through the system with the effluent into the soil and potentially contaminating the ground water. Neither of these are beneficial occurrences. Even prescription drugs are being found in our water supply, partly from unused pills being dumped down the toilet and partly from passing through our bodies when we're on medication. No need to add other chemicals to the mix. -p On 3/2/2010 5:11 PM, John Sessoms wrote: John Graves wrote: I am considering developing my own BW film. My film cameras are beckoning. Before I do this, I would like to understand how to dispose of the required chemicals. I would be using something like Ethol UFG on TMax or equivalents.

Any suggestions either in disposal or alternative products is welcome. Mix your used developer and stop bath together so they balance out. They definitely should not go into the septic system. Most areas have a household hazardous waste disposal location or periodic collection and you should be able to take it there. Here in Raleigh/Wake County NC it used to be first Saturday of the month, but they've recently expanded the service to six days a week year round.

Try Googling Your Town/County State household hazardous waste - that's how I found out about the new facility in Wake County. If they don't take fixer, I'd ask around local mini-labs. If you're not generating great quantities of waste, you can probably find one that will take the used fixer and add it to their own chemicals for de-silvering.

I hate it when people wave Charles Johnson around, I happen to
have
degrees in Economics and History, and I think he's full of
crap. ?Then again
I'm not an academic and I don't have to be nice to these people.
Who is Charles Johnson?
He's the proprietor of the Little Green Footballs blog and the person
who proved that the 60 Minutes Bush ANG Memos were fakes.
Something of
a raging crank, but also something of an expert on font
implementations in Word Processors (He wrote a fair bit of the font
code for one of the more popular Amiga word processors). That made
him
somewhat famous, but he's also the classic example of a Liberal who's
been mugged (Conservative only due to Sept 11, in reality rather much
left wing aside from a severe dislike for Islamic terrorists)
As a note, I'm pretty sure PJ was referring to Chalmers Johnson, not
Charles. I'm not familiar with Chalmers.
Hard for me to understand how anyone would get the two confused then.
Chalmers Johnson is a former Naval Officer, CIA consultant and
Professor Emeritus of Political Science at UC San Diego. Founder of
Japan Policy Research Institute. Early critic of neo-liberal economic
policies(aka neo-conservatism)using Japanese economic stagnation in
the 90s as his model.
Came to question the increase in U.S. post-Soviet militarism worldwide
and the over reliance on military solutions in the absence of any
real global competitor. Chalmers Johnson holds that America's hegemony
is a global empire based on overseas military bases and that increased
U.S. militarism abroad reduces U.S. domestic security by fostering ill
feeling and encourages terrorism.
Probably best known for his trilogy:
* Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire
He ignores the costs of doing nothing. Forgets the consequences of
having a different suzerain in the world. The only other nation that's
been in a compariable position to the one the United States holds today
during it's entire history was the British Empire. It's interesting to
speculate what the world would be like under expansionist China or
historically God forbid, a Nazi Germany, or for that matter an Imperial
Russia or Imperial Japan, in the same position. I dare say they would
make the World a less comfortable place for small rich republics. Maybe
we can get the British to take up the mantle again and we can retire to
complacency.
* The Sorrows of Empire: Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic
Anyone who thinks the United States has anything like a traditional
empire is foolish in the extreme. The republic may be over. I fear
that may be true, but I don't think that the Trade Coalition we preside
over is the cause.
* Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic.
What they have in common is my disdain. Though for different reasons.
I would truly like to see the restoration of the Republic to something
like it's original form, but that requires educating an entire
generation to the Rule of Thumb social engineering of the founders and
away from current academic theories which seem to be at odds with reality.

Re: Developing Chemical Disposal
On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 3:11 PM, John Graves jh.gra...@verizon.net wrote: Ann, Thanks...I was reading elsewhere that stopbath was essentially vinegar so why not. Stop bath is essentially dilute acetic acid, same as vinegar. The advantage of Kodak Indicator Stop Bath is that it has a dye in it that turns purple when the acid content is consumed, so you can see in a darkroom when to change it. The dyes are biodegradable and have no environmental impact. Vinegar is cheaper. ;-) .. Now what about the developer. I would use something like Ethol UFG unless this is really toxic and there is anything that is not. Inquiring minds want to know .or at least one mind. Some developers have trace small amounts of heavy metals in them (most anything made with Metol, for instance). Kodak's XTOL, however, has very little if anything that is not biodegradable ... it's mostly a variation on Vitamin C. I moved to XTOL for virtually all of my processing at the end of my time doing BW film work, that is unless I used a C41 process film which I simply let the local lab process for me. Fixer has small amounts of sodium thiosulfate in it, which is typically used in pesticides, etc. California doesn't even list it on the toxicity pages. However, exhausted fixer has small amounts of silver salts in it, which are heavy metals that are pretty reactive. Color chemistry can be all over the map with regards toxicity and environmental impact ... but why anyone in their right mind would do a home color chemical darkroom today is a mystery to me. - In the minute amounts that even a seriously busy home BW darkroom produce, none of the waste products from BW photography have much environmental impact. Local regulation of environmental hazard is actually more important from a political and legal standpoint than any environmental impact. - The silver salts in exhausted fixer are the most significant outputs and should be handled as toxic waste when in quantity ... it should be recycled ... for instance, when I was in the photofinishing business in a shop that ran an average of 150 135-36 rolls a day, we sold the waste out of the film and paper developer machines on a regular basis for the buyers to reclaim the silver. For an occasional roll of BW film, I doubt there is any significant environmental impact. - I've never dealt with a septic tank so I have little to recommend one way or another regards to that. - Read up on local legal requirements for photographic waste products with regard to disposal. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Cosina 55/1.2
I played with Sasha's 55/1.2 last night at a friend's weekly blues jam. I shot almost entirely wide open. It's an intriguing, fun, lens. When it's on, it's razor sharp. When it's not in perfect focus it's got an interesting dream like quality. It strikes me as a lens that'll take work to learn, but once you do, it has amazing potential. The extra speed over my 1.4 and 1.8s came in very handy too.

Re: Peso Yield
When I first started teaching flying, one of the guys that hung out at the airport on the weekends was an ex-WWII pilot who had wanted to get into the conflict early. Don't remember if he flew for the RAF or the RCAF, but he had experience in both the Mozzie and the Spit. He liked the Spit but said the Mozzie was the most responsive, delightful airplane he ever flew. -p On 3/2/2010 11:30 PM, frank theriault wrote: On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 9:31 AM, David J Brookspentko...@gmail.com wrote: One more before i do the Geso.

OT: The death of the photolab
Well, perhaps that's a little dramatic, but.. Our local Wal-Mart got Supersized, and with it, a brand new photolab. I stopped in for a visit a couple of nights ago and got a small tour. They still have a film processor, a little siongle lane thing that is about the same size as a large suitcase. Apparently it will do 15 rolls of film per hour. What really galled me was the printer. Kodak has gone to a dry print process, the new machine is more or less a box with a rack of dye sub printers in it. As with every improvement we have seen in the photographic industry over thepast century, the quality has gone downhill yet again. I'm very happy that I gave up photofinishing for 2x4s.

Re: OT: The death of the photolab
William Robb war...@gmail.com wrote: Well, perhaps that's a little dramatic, but.. It's definitely the way things are going, if we like it or not. No, I'm not saying that analog photography is dead but it is getting more complicated and more expensive by the day. My Jobo processor has gone, two weeks ago, and so has a whole big frigde/freezer combo full of film. Two main reasons: First, Noblex have stopped production of their panoramic cameras and they haven't even kept a stock of spares. Second, C-41 chemicals have become too expensive in the small quantities I can still use up within reasonable time. So, the Noblex, the processor and the film had to go. Preparing developer in batches of 5 liters and then throwing away 4.5 liters a few months later just didn't make sense. Risking a failure of the Noblex and then trashing it instead of selling it now (still got around 900 euros for it) wasn't very appealing either. I'm still keeping the rest of the lab gear with tanks, enlarger and everything needed to do b/w, more out of nostalgy than any intention to do much with it in the future. Not been doing much photography anyway, in the last months. I'm stuck between the K-7 that I'll probably never really will be friends with and my K10D that I've outgrown somehow. Stupid situation. So, if you've been wondering why there hasn't been much news and pics from my end, lately, you now know why. Still hoping it'll change again, some day. Ralf -- Ralf R.

Re: OT: The death of the photolab
I have frequently used Walmart printing services but only the local one. Compared to mini-labs from other stores (K-mart, Walgreens, etc) 1) the quality was more reasonable and more predictable 2) thanks to Walmart policy, - the operators usually were happy to redo the prints that didn't come alright. I don't how it is now, - haven't used Walmart labs for long time. It was interesting to read, Bill, and thanks for heads-up - now I know that I should be careful with the next Walmart when I'd neet to use it.

With computers and handheld devices and digital camera screens, the print is a dying breed. Maybe that is more where Kodak is headed. The dye sub is probably cheaper in small quantities. May have been a lot of changes in demand in the last six months or so since I got fired from my photolab job, but we were making good money off of 4x6 C-prints. Mainly because the big Noritsu could churn them out, and consumables cost less than for the dye-sub printers. The big demand for the dye-sub prints from the kiosk was teen-age girls. The biggest problem with the dye-sub printers was keeping sufficient consumables in stock. We frequently ran out of the paper required for no more reason than the distribution center didn't send enough to meet demand. I never understood why. The main demand for C-prints was from on-line. The bulk of my business came in that way. I got just enough film in the form of disposable cameras to justify keeping the film processor running, although because it was running I also picked up a bit of SLR business from people who still liked film. And there were a couple of photographers who wanted to play with cross processing E-6 in C-41 chemistry. Biggest COST center was customers jamming cards in the kiosk card readers and damaging the readers. Not only cost to replace the readers, but it could put the kiosks off-line until I received the appropriate repair part. At that, I was in better shape than most of the other labs because I could replace the readers myself and didn't have to wait for a tech to come out. Second biggest COST was books on demand, but that was because the corporation didn't allow for sufficient training and my subordinate operators wasted most of the consumable supplies the first week after that became operational. In that case, the inability of the distribution centers to supply consumables worked in my favor. Once they'd wasted the critical components, I had to shut down the books on demand system and explain to the customers we couldn't do them without re-supply. That at least kept the untrained operators from wasting more supplies. OTOH, we would have had to shut down the books on demand process anyway even if they hadn't wasted all the supplies the first week. We were never re-supplied with the critical components while I worked there. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

A reintroduction from a long time (mid 90s) lurker.
Time to reappear again, as I've uploaded some photos for the 2010 PDML Photo Annual, and Mark has suggested a reintroduction. I've followed the list since the 1990's, and still enjoy reading it, primarily via the list archives. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada, and am a member of the local photography club. I'm still a dedicated slide shooter (the last one in the club), but confess a purchase of a Pentax K200D for my wife. My main interest is fine railway photography, and I've had about a dozen images published over the years. Since a 1967 purchase of a Pentax Spotmatic, I've accumulated many Pentax bodies / lenses, my current favourites are a black MX with 5 FPS motor drive, MZ-S, MZ-5n, LX, and PZ-1p. Lens wise, K, M, and A series primes, I always expose and focus manually.
