Or follow the directions on the label.
You need enough of each chemical to completely cover the reels. Why not put the empty reels in the tank and measure how much water it takes to cover them?

Thanks, I got it. The amount is written on the bottom of the tank. Not all tanks are the same, so check.

He has a sonic screwdriver. It always works some how.

Current healthcare restrictions have forced him into retirement. He's at another spot in time trying to learn the intricacies of a Scooby-Doo camera.
He'll be fine. He away is. I wonder if he's using his screwdriver on the Scooby-Doo shots?

I shoot digital with a zoom (200 - 300) for an exact and sharp image.
It's the unplanned quirkiness of plastic cameras that make them fun to shoot. The happy accidents of being creative and waiting to see what happens is the joy of it.
I work with digital and play with plastic cameras.

Oops. I posted in the middle of your post first. Sorry.
I was shooting digital portraits and promo shots for people for a number of years. Was starting to feel my 'focus' had narrowed. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and play. I took a collage class in alternative photography and was introduced to Holgas as part of it. Loved it. So I thought I would just play with other plastic cameras to 'see' in a differ way.

Melodye, WOW!!
YOU should be giving some of these whiners here lessons!!
A Girl I know has used a Holga to produce some pretty amazing double exposures of people and buildings.
Are you familiar with the work of Michelle Bates? She's a pro Holga shooter.
Those action cameras sound pretty interesting.
Love to see some of that stuff!! ;-)

Holga 135 and Action 3 lens B&W 400 ISO
I need a good scanner. The one I have can only scan single frame 35mm and is old and cheap. But it gives me a better idea of what I shot.

Thanks for the Michelle Bates info. I looked her up and saw some of her work. Loved it.

If you are responding to my comment, the government will probably get to it right after the finish studying why some people (me) get such a kick out of playing with toys that weigh up to (and over) a million pounds. Our minds must be controlled; free thinkers are a danger to the status quo. They are Borg, resistance is futile; we must be assimilated. 8-) 8-) 8-)
Oh no, Daleks. Where's the Doctor?

JC let's NOT confuse the issue! Rinse and WASH are NOT the same process.
Rinse take almost no water at all, while wash take a bit more.
Either way, by now, Melodye has the pics already dry mounted!! :lol: :lol:

Not dry mounted. But 4 rolls developed and scanned.
I'm playing with some toy cameras. A Holga 135, a hacked Holga 120N to shoot 35mm, a 3 lens Action camera and a 4 lens Action camera. The Action cameras shoot rapid fire and combine the shots (3 or 4) into one frame.

For stop solution mix white vinegar 1:1 with distilled water. It works as well as the acid stop bath. Also, you can use a water rinse. The idea is to rinse the developer and stop its action before fixing. Going directly to the fixer will work, but shortens the life of the fixer.
Thanks, I'll try that.

Try Freestyle to see if they still have it.
Freestyle is a great resource. I use it all the time.

Funny, I haven't processed my own film in 30 years. Reading this, I started thinking and realized I still have my old stainless steel reels and stuff in a box in the garage. I have my old Nikon film camera somewhere. Hmmmm. Something to do on a slow day off. Maybe.
Glad you've been inspired to play again :)
Have fun and Thanks for your feedback :)

if a 17 year old boy can mix chemicals and develop film, then you should be ok.
:) Thanks. I know how to mix :) I was working in another place and I'm setting up here from scratch. I had been developing 5 - 6 rolls at a time in a bigger tank once or twice a week. So I forgot how many oz to use in a 2 reel tank. I found the answer on the bottom of the smaller tank. 20oz.

There's nothing wrong with the old SS ones. They haven't changed and they don't wear out.
I just haven't used the SS spools. Don't have any old/ used 110 to practice with and don't know how to do it in the dark yet. It's all a learning process. I'll figure it out in my head and with my hands ... in the dark/black bag. Thanks.
