As someone who is just getting into film photography, you have no idea how helpful your channel has been! These videos are by far the most comprehensive and beginner-friendly on YouTube. Thank you so much for the help!!!

Truly, the "Heisenberg" of film photographers.

I've always preferred the circle 8 agitation and a tap, then rocking it back and forth. Just basically I feel the rocking motion will over agitate and can create more air bubbles. Thanks for a great series, looking forward to watching more of your series.

Great video. But help me to get rid of photo-flo stains. I fight them forever. Even when flo is dilluted really a lot. Any idea?

Just discovered your channel lately. Thank you for the great informative videos, it helps a lot!

can you reuse stop bath, fixer, and photo flo?

Between kodak D-76 and Xtol, which do you prefer and why? Which is sharper and has better acutance? Thanks you so much for all these interesting videos!

Hi Naked, if its not too much to ask, kindly make a development by inspection video?

It may be totally unnecessary but I do water with a few inversions between stop bath and fixer, mostly because I don't like getting stop bath in my fixer. I found before I did this that my fixer would yellow over time

Quick question when using Blix with film, there are different times on the manual (6 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 ) what does the extra times mean? is that for a more secure fixture?

You just told something about something weird that happened to me with hp5 film and I couldn't find out why. I shoot a roll of hp5 last winter in Spain, after being store in the fridge for two weeks ( at minimum temperature ) I decided to develop it, to my surprise!! while I was trying to pull out the roll from the reloadable canister I found that the film was stuck together in between layers. When I could get it into the reel and I developed it I have got really bad stripes in the negatives. I tried to find out what I did wrong but in the blogs the people could not help and Ilford didn't response me to the email I sent them. Do you know something about this? Thanks.

Gelatine on the backside of the film ???

James Bond 007 in the photo lab,
Shaken not stirred the Kodak developer
You must be joking the way you process the film
Since the digital pjotographers have duscovered the
analog photography, the photo lab has become a play garden .
Kodak did not advise to move the tank so rud, fast and frequent
Mind the cavitation problem of the liquid.,
