Re: OT - Plus -X Film Available
I know there is some disagreement about this, but in my experience Ilford FP-4 Plus is comparable to Kodak Plus X with a couple of exceptions. The important one being that FP-4 seems to look sharper, oh yes, and it's also still manufactured. I used to buy FP-4 because it was less expensive. They're both old fashioned, well more or less, traditional films. On 7/27/2013 12:39 PM, Mark C wrote: A little while ago the topic of Plus-X film came up. I just stumbled into this: http://www.ultrafineonline.com/kopl125bwfi3.html At $6.98 per roll it is a bit too pricey for me (I have a dozen roll in the freezer already) but if anyone wants to get some it seems like they have it. This place also sells a house film called Ultrafine Xtreme which is rumored to be re-branded Kentmere. I don't know if that is true or not but the films look exactly the same and my preliminary tests (I've only tried 2 rolls and only in Rodinal) have yeilded very consistent results between the two. The published times for the films are significantly different - but, for Rodinal 1:50 at least, the published time for the Ultrafine seems significantly too short.

Needing more memory than the machine currently has available can easily cause a particular program to run a hundred times slower. The older a machine is, the less memory is likely to have been configured on it (memory gets significantly cheaper every year). The current motherboard in this one is somewhere 5 - 7 years old (maybe older). It's old enough it's got an AGP video slot. The board maxes out at 2GB RAM & that's what is installed. I had a problem with the system locking up that appeared to be memory related (particularly to how Windoze leaks memory over time) so I went ahead and replaced all the memory, upgrading to max at that time. I recently added an AGP video card (figured I'd better do that while AGP cards were still available) and that's helped a tiny bit. Bottom line is I had a version of FireFox that ran efficiently on THIS machine until Mozilla started badgering me to "upgrade". The "upgrade" is NOT! -- 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.

Re: Cheap extension tubes and reverse lense adaptors (and other photo accessories)
Igor, DealeXtreme (DX) is a well -known store. A friend of mine bought a Chinese flash for his Nikon cameras. The flash came in with fried main board but was replaced by the seller. I've ordered from them an external microphone for my K-5. It passed basic test, but I don't normally shoot video that often to tell you more. Over here it is known for being very slow on shipment, which happens to be free. Right now I'm waiting for usb on the go adapter for my Nexus 7 and a case for Galia's and mine Kindle.

They do public tours - there are viewing galleries. It's quite impressive. Even more impressive is the area where they take prospective customers; it has full-size mockups of sections of the cabins of all their aircraft, so they can demonstrate options.

Bulk Film Loading - Success!
Thanks for everyone who offered input on bulk film loading. My loader, 25 empty cannisters and a roll of Kentmere 400 arrived last week. I was out of town for work Sun - Thursday but tried my hand at loading yesterday. The only mistake I made is that I did not clean the felt light trap on the LLoyds loader before putting the roll in. I never even thought of it, as it was brand new and out of sealed plastic bag and box - but there was bit of grit on the felt and the first foot or two of film were scratched quite a bit, after that it seemed to work itself out. Otherwise, not problems and I loaded up 4 rolls and shot out one just to test. My scanning computer is in for repairs so I set up a temporary system with a laptop and Canonscan FS 4000 - running blazingly fast through it's USB 1.1 interface (no SCSI port on the laptop.) It is slow but functional and the first scans are looking good. Now to start loading up the freezer with 100' bulk rolls...

OT - Plus -X Film Available
A little while ago the topic of Plus-X film came up. I just stumbled into this: http://www.ultrafineonline.com/kopl125bwfi3.html At $6.98 per roll it is a bit too pricey for me (I have a dozen roll in the freezer already) but if anyone wants to get some it seems like they have it. This place also sells a house film called Ultrafine Xtreme which is rumored to be re-branded Kentmere. I don't know if that is true or not but the films look exactly the same and my preliminary tests (I've only tried 2 rolls and only in Rodinal) have yeilded very consistent results between the two. The published times for the films are significantly different - but, for Rodinal 1:50 at least, the published time for the Ultrafine seems significantly too short.
