Made another batch of Thornton's yesterday to dev this recent roll out of
one of the Mamiyaflexes:
decided to include this last pic of the cat as I liked his expression
This roll was a test to see if the Thornton's was working properly and I've
liked how it has performed in the past with TMAX 400.
5 mins each bath, 20C, scans at 1200dpi, Epson 4490

Your images are very nice.
I have problems setting the software that came with the 4490, do you use the original software or a 3rd party?
This is the third time I have posted this, so two clones may show up later |

Greg, it's OK, I can delete them, but I believe they are permanently lost.
I use the OEM software, everything off, in Pro mode. 35mm negs/slides
are scanned at 2400dpi, and 120 film/slides are scanned at 1200dpi. All
sharpening, etc, is done in PS. I also use the OEM filmholders. HTH |

I like the effect of the Thornton's two-bath.
Meantime I'll persevere with D-76, just out of sheer laziness

I had an unpleasant surprise today and thank God it wasn't on the wedding
roll. I ran a roll through the 2nd Mamiyaflex (has the 3.5/105 lens) and the
Portra 160NC came back absolutely clear. Looking through the film at the other
vehicles in the Walmart parking lot had just the orange-brown tint to them. 
When I got home, discovered I hadn't locked the lens on the camera
(lever on side of body) and in unlocked position is a plate that comes up to cover
the taking lens, like a dark slide. Shee-yott. One shot I can show on the wedding roll, unrelated:
Portra 800, Epson 4490 scan |

Dave, I'm missing I think just two ingredients and I could homebrew the
D76, might try it since it will push film. I can make 2 liters of Thornton's in
less than 10 minutes, and it will dev 15-20 rolls before having to make new.
Attila and Orio, thanks! |

Dang, nice of them not to put a flag at least or something into the viewing lens when this happens. But a great tip (thanks for learning this for me, though I know I'm fully capable of re-learning it myself  ) for any potential Mamiyaflex owner.

Jussi, nope, no flag, the viewing lens will happily show you the picture you
won't be taking x12.
Recommend you try a Mam-flex, the close-up capability of that long
bellows should not be discounted. Of course I want a 'blad 501C, it'll just
have to wait. |
