    old to new

    Hi,

    I want to get my Olympus OM2n back to work. Would like to use a day light tank for the film and then scan it in to my PC.

    If memory serves me right, the film chemistry has a very short life, how can I extend it? what scanner should I buy up to about £250.00

    Many thanks

    Lady Jenny

    Not all film chemistry has a short life, I use Pyrocat HD which I make up myself and that keeps well over a year, much longer if I used the Glycol version. Ilfotec HC or LC has a long shelf life even part used, so does Rodinal.

    Your scanner question is best asked on APUG sister site Hybridphoto.com
