Cheers man. Bought a couple cameras and shot half a dozen rolls and haven't had any of them develped yet. Feel alot more confident about developing myself now. Gunna get myself a lab box and the chemicals you're using here and give er a shot.
I caught the film bug about 1½ years ago and I absolutely love it. Knowing I was paying for each shot really made me more considered, and by extension improved my digital photography as well. Times have gotten kinda hard though and I couldn't afford to shoot a bunch so I've not done any film for a few months. A lab box might just make it affordable again so I'm very interested. I've never developed my own - what are your thoughts on using wetting agents in the final rinse?
Mark, I really liked your review. I own the Lab-box and it feels like a crap shoot getting results. I have had some impressive results. However, some of my rolls come away sticking to one another. I am told that it has to do with alignment but tend to believe that it may be the film itself. Thoughts?
so this is basically a copy of an old Agfa Rondinax-35U film tank. The only difference there is that Rondinax film guide was also acting as a film counter allowing you to roughly estimate number of frames loaded - the idea behind this was that the more film gets into the spiral, the more the guide lifts up, so there was a small sectored indicator near the tank's lid with the extended guide tip as a needle moving inside.
Great question and the answer is coming soon. But in the mean time here is a video we made a while back about a cool scanning process that we may or may not be using in the office now ;) th-cam.com/video/BVmIhwG0XfU/w-d-xo.html
NEVER. and i'm serious NEVER load a film like this. I've ruined two leica with this technique. One because T mode have issue and the curtail hit my finger tearing it. The other one because film particles was stuck inside the camera and had jammed it. Why it's a bad idea ? Because it require you tu put finger in the place where curtains should be. Any wrong movement and you will kill them. And you need to remove the lens which is a pain. It's also not a good way to load the film because if it is done improperly, it will tear the film and can create issue by letting small film parts inside the camera and gear and curtain does not like that. An finally, this film camera is designed to be loaded with longer leader. Why trying something other ? You can 3D print ABLON tools and cut film easily. You can pre cut leader as well and you will be fine on the field. Shooting 50 to 90 years old cameras require to use the proper technique intended by Leica.

Subscribing for the humor lol

I loved watching your video, light box looks fun to use.
It really is!

hey Mark, what watch are you wearing, it's very tasteful. great vid .
Hello 👋 Mark that was absolutely amazing! The Lab-Box will come in handy when traveling between countries. Cheers! 🥃
Absolutely! Just don’t fly with the chemicals, not sure security would be happy about it :)
6:45 for LAB BOX demo
Great video. 👌🏼
Thanks
Always enjoy your videos... not sure if Mark wants to change his phone access code now though 😬😁
Appreciate the heads up but luckily Jacob changed the passcode to that just for this video :)
@@ComplicatedThings Ah... you bunch of Pros! 😄
Haha really just Jacob, I’m an amateur at best!
What are you using to scan?

@@ComplicatedThings hi. Thanks. I watched it when you first aired it. Great.
sold out everywhere :(

Thank you.. I will .not do it again..
Have you tried developing color film yet?
That might be better off in the lab
C-41 is only two steps.
how fun is it when they charge 30€ for a handle ?:))
Haha yes it is very funny
