Oggetto: [Leica] the beginnings of a darkroom!


>LUG family:
>
>Well, I went out and got a good Hedgecoe book and the basics.
>I got a 2-reel Patterson tank, which I have already practiced with last
>night.  I loaded my first practice film the FIRST time perfectly!  The guy
>at the shop was extremely helpful, and took almost an hour with me,
>taking everything apart on the counter to lead me, step by step, through
>the entire development process.  Unloading the Patterson was a bit tricky
>the first time, but I have it down now.  I practiced loading in the dark,
and
>surprised myself by getting it right the first time!
>Since it was all they had, I got Kodak HC-110 Developer,  Kodak Indicator
>Stop Bath, and Ilford Rapid Fixer.  Also Kodak PhotoFlo 200, 2 graduated
>cylinders (small), and 4 graduated pitchers.  A thermometer, film hanging
>clips, and an E-6 chemical kit rounded off the day.
>Believe it or not, I walked out of the store with ALL of the above for
>under $130!
>Incredible!  I am going to shoot my first TMax ever today....just some fun
>stuff.
>I need to practice a few developments to make sure I can get it down pat.
>Thanks LUG, for all your help!
>
>BTW, what is the difference between HC-110 (the one I got) and XTOL or
>Rodinol,
>which I hear all of you talk about?
>
>Also, what are your favorite development settings for TMax 100 and 400?
