DVD of making and coating

[Photo Engineer]

You have to remember that 35mm film was not possible until emulsions were fast enough with fine enough grain for projection printing. Most everything you can do will probably only be suitable for MF or LF use. A big problem will be dust and dirt during making and coating.

In any event, home made 35mm and smaller coatings will probably be somewhat unsatisfactory for a while until better making equipment is available and better formulas are devised.

I doubt the 35mm or color crowd have any interest in this.

What if I copied/enlarged my 35mm neg to another neg any size up to 8x10 and then contact printed that onto the AZO ? Would it stand a chance of looking at least as good as a print made from the 35mm neg directly to non-AZO 8x10 ?

I just made a post in the Contact Forum next door which answers your questions. If you compare the 2 prints made on the same paper; That will give you a better comparison than 2 different papers.

The DVD is done and burned to disk. It has been tested on several computers and players with good results.

The book is at 120 pages and is being re-written in version 3 with keys to the DVD and extra photos for clarity. It is also being reorganized.

Well, here is an update on the DVD and the book.

I am working on a UF/RO washing and concentration unit and also on a pumped delivery system. I have talked to the videographer, and he is willing, so there will be a delay for a DVD part 2 with these two items, and the book will be revised to include the new emulsion formulas.

I also have a formula for a faster (ISO 100) ortho emulsion that I am just about to get into.

So, with all of this, I wanted to let you all know.

I have some photos that I may get around to posting.

I've just seen this thread, I'm interesting on it. I'm not an emulsion maker, but I love to understand how it make! I'm curious....I'm an Azoide.
