Peter don’t worry about the music, or the whistles and bells, this is just great and all the better without those things. Another great show thank you.
You’re never boring Peter. Great video thank you for showing us this. Don’t fret about your videos, they capture who you are and what makes you special. Have a great day.
I got a Big Telling Off about about this as Daughter had offered to do it on her MAC but I wanted us to use VideoPad and I messed it all up by Ejecting the Card Reader as it was 'Exporting' and we had to start all over again using her MAC then found it was being uploaded using her PHONE hence so SLOW and Boy had to 'Boost' her phone -- so much for 'Editing Attempt' by M E!
Hi Peter from Melbourne, Australia. I spent a bit of time in Essex in the late 90's. I've watched a few of your videos. It's refreshing to see some older folks making videos and passing on their knowledge. So many TH-camrs are keen to turn the camera on themselves and start talking before they've done their research, spreading misinformation on subjects they don't properly understand. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
@@theoldfilmbloke the bells and whistles just get in the way of other people's 'Professional' videos.. the only change I would make is to create play lists, so videos play one after the other. But this is a suggestion and not a criticism. I've learned so much from you. Thank you.
No need to rush your mixing. I found your video quite enjoyable. Good to see a happy and positive man like you. If everybody else on this planet would behave the same, the world would look a lot better!!! Best regards from the other side of the North Sea!!!
Hi Peter. No Music needed! You're perfect in what you do and how you do it! I'm following you from Germany and I celebrate every new video from You. Stay safe and keep going!
I love watching your videos Peter! They’re so interesting and informative, and your wonderful personality shines through. This one was particularly interesting, because I’m going to develop my own film for the first time. I have a really nice 9x12cm Voigtlander Avus like yours from around 1930, and I shall use sheet film (Ilford HP5Plus). Chemistry was my hobby when I was a youngster - it amazes me now how readily chemical supply companies would supply seriously toxic chemicals in 1960 without checking that they were sending them to a 10 year old - and you’ve inspired me to have a go at mixing my own.
Thank you Peter! I was hesitant mixing my own chemicals, but no I will try too! We will see how steady my hands are, I'd have to be ashamed if I couldnt do it at 26 years old. Whats the shelf life of your freshly mixed ID11? No fancy music or anything needed, looking forward to your next installment.
If it is in a half-full bottle it suffers from 'Increase in Activity' which means development times have to be shortened BUT I make it last weeks by squirting in some Butane Lighter Fuel to sit on the liquid surface and prevent Oxidation.
Dear Mr Elgar, Your videos are informative and useful and interesting. I feel that your character shines through and that is the reason that I watch your shows. I hope you continue to make many more videos as your vast knowledge should be archived and appreciated. Thank you for your work. Bill
YES -- I had another smaller bottle -- it was VERY brown but very good for processing Kodak 'Technical Pan' at 1+30 dilution -- have a look at my VIDEO Here : th-cam.com/video/h_wKQBOZuuk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for another interesting video. I really enjoyed it. Love to hear about how photography was done so many old ways have disappeared. i wondered how easy it is to get all the chemicals today and where from and if it is cheaper still.
Thanks Peter to share your life experience in live, i adore it alot , and now supporting for having your film , regards from Paraguay , South America and have a great week, hope to see you soon and if you have a channel in Facebook or Instagram please let us know . Thanks you
@@andrewmurdock Been in Hospital again and as Daughter has to 'work from Home; she uses the LOUNGE all day Monday - Friday and the next video when I'm well enough will need to use the floor in the Lounge.
YO ! It is 'Thanks' to Gabby Hayes our now-deceased Chemistry Master at East Ham Grammar School -- I even used to mix developers in the Path Labs in the Military Hospitals in which I served in the RAMC 1955-58 !
I have another batch made by May& Baker 'PLANETOL' where the crystals are still white but I wanted to use up some of that Brown Batch' given to me first and it seems to have WORKED on test film I have uploaded to FLICKR.
Yes SO FAR 'SAFE' but I got a letter from H M Government saying I have to 'Shield' until March 31st, so NO Travel out of Brentwood and NO 'Breathing in Air' from passers-by !
I have some very old Metol Elon probably goes back to 1940 maybe older does that chemical go bad. also have some Hydroquinone I think it goes back to the mid-1980s and have not tested either one of them just wondering if there's a shelf life on either one of them. by the way love your video
People offer all sorts of shelf life for Metol. My own experience is that I'm still working through a jar of Kodak Elon (same thing) I bought about 45 years ago. Likewise, I acquired a 5 pound jar of hydroquinone about then, which still works fine. Metol tends to be a pure white color when new, but my Kodak version was a very light grey, and remains same today. B&W developers may be less sensitive to aging chemical, but I use the same developing agents to make both E-6 and C-41 chemistry. My advice is to try it on part of a roll of film you won't miss if it goes poorly. If it is really worrying you, just bin the stuff and buy some fresh replacements.
@@theoldfilmbloke thank you for your information it is slightly gray I think I'll give it a go and make up a very small batch of D76 and see if I get good results on a clip test. by the way I love your 🙂
I use it diluted 1+1 with filtered water SO not re-using the actual 'Stock' solution-- that way it is fresh . depends how many films I get to do to use 1 litre at 1+1 !
Hi, if I can give you my experience. I just up dated my chemistry to make. ID11/D76 is 40% less, Perceptol is 60% less, D72 is 50% less and fixer is very cheap. I purchased the powders in Australia so prices and availability may differ around the world 📸
@@fotolookconde I make a Rapid fixer, water 40c 750ml, Sodium sulphite 10g, Ammonium sulphate 25g, Sodium Thiosulphate 180g water to make a 1000ml undiluted mix. Use at 20c and twice the time It takes to clear an unprocessed film strip completely is your time. Hope that helps, Google fixer formulas for another choice p.s. a simple hypo clearing agent Sodium Carbonate (soda ash, pool cleaner) 10g per 1000ml water. Method wash film/paper then soak in formula two minutes then wash half the normal time.📸
@@petervanorsouw2858 actually to make stop bath can I use acetic acid glacial (99.8%)? I know th formulas for that is with acetic acid 28%. Is it a matter of percentage dilution and just use the 99.8% one (diluting at 28%?)
YES -- I do C41 but NOT E6 so have to get a bloke in Southend-on-Sea Essex to do E6. I was GIVEN some C41 Colour Developer by a mate in BOOTS Mini-Lab that was forced to close by the accountants for the Company here in BRENTWOOD but I buy Bleach and C41 Fixer.

Good to see the video is now working. Editing was smooth and clean, not sudden or over done. Very informative
All the best from the Bahamas, there is nothing better than the good old ways and days👍👍👍 age is only a number my friend, keep on trucking, thank you.
I started making my own ID-11 last year and haven’t looked back since. Very economical indeed. Thanks for another very informative video.
Would love a follow on Flickr.
YEs -- I tried this New Mix of ID11 on some outdated Fuji Neopan 1600 and it worked well !

Hi i decanter into stock solution bottles ready to dilute before development, stock should last six months in full tightly sealed bottles.
Dear Mr Elgar,
Your videos are informative and useful and interesting. I feel that your character shines through and that is the reason that I watch your shows.
I hope you continue to make many more videos as your vast knowledge should be archived and appreciated.
Thank you for your work.

WoW ! How KIND ! It keeps my mind off my health problems as my Oncologist and Surgeons have said .
Good work Peter, nice to see a fellow craftsman at work!
@Peter Elgar that Agfa Rodinal is really old!!! I had a bottle that after more than 12 years of being open I was able to still develop film! Amazing!!

A great video Peter, a master and craftsman at work. ( I have seen Peter in action in his darkroom) as I said above. Thank you 👏
RAY -- Can't wait for LOCKDOWN rules to end then I can give you a Workshop here and Eden will supply Coffee and Cake !
Excellent video! Please keep them coming.
Great video, thanks a lot. I really like your "non-youtuber" stile and the video is a great learning experience for me. Keep it up👍
Very educational, thank you!
