No longer a newbie, moving up!
My chemical rack.
Here's a list of the chemicals I got with the enlarger as well as the stuff I've used. I know it's asking a lot, but would any of you be able to pass comment or give advice on any of them?
Some of them I can tell are only fit for the bin just by looking at them. But when it's all set up I'll go through each opened one one-by-one to see how they perform. You never know, I may get lucky with one or two and it's all experience.
Developers - film;
Kodak D76 (mine so I know it's fine)
-
Agfa Rodinal - One-shot Developer (looks a bit old has been opened but it almost full, there's another small bottle of this which sounds like it has crystals in it so is certain to be dead)
-
Photocolor Printmast RA - Ambient Temperature Colour Developer Part A (has been opened, isn't sealed properly, has crap in the lid, no part B, is it for film?)
-
Ilford Microphen - Film Developer (part A and part B in non-opened sachets)
-
Paterson Aculux2 - Fine grain film developer (looks like it's been opened but appears to be ok)
Developer - paper;
Jessops Photochem Econoprint 2 - Print developer for all monochrome enlarging papers (big bottle which has been opened and is about half full)
-
Jessops Photochem Econodev 2 Universal - Developer for all monochrome film and papers (looks new and isn't opened)
Stops;
Kodak Max-Stop (mine so I know it's fine)
-
Jessops Photochem Econostop 2 - indicator stop bath for all monochrome and colour films and papers (new and not opened expires 07/2008 )
Fixer;
Jessops Photochem Econofix 2 - Fixer for all monochrome film and paper (mine so I know it's fine)
-
Jessops Photochem Econofix 2 - Fixer for all monochrome film and paper (large bottle, 1/4 full)
-
Jessops Photochem Econofix 2 - Fixer for all monochrome film and paper (same as the first but opened)
-
Photocolor Printmaster RA - Bleach Fix (opened and could be old)
Wetting Agent;
Jessops Photochem Econowet 2 - wetting agent for even processing and drying of all monochrome and colour film (not sure if this is mine or not :shock: I have one but this looks too old :mrgreen: )
-
Paterson - Anti-static Wetting Agent (looks old but has a lot left.
Other Stuff;
Fotospeed - Copper/Red Toner Kit - For The Red Toning of B&W prints (neither bottle has been opened so this could be fun to play with)
-
Tetenal - Peeling Varnish Blue (what would I use this for?)
And I think that's it for now.
