Really, i don't know why i have been waiting so long to pick this up! It is SO easy!
The fact that my last 2 rolls of colorfilm got "lost" at the processing lab made me think about buying a Tetenal C41 home-kit, and so i did! And i'm glad i did.
The only thing that has always bothered me is the quite high constant temperature of 38 C you need. But after i stumbled upan a JOBO TBE with all the matching containers it was easy as pie!
Tetenal makes a 3 bath kit, which combines the bleach and the fixer in one liquid. The first step is the developer, 3:15 minutes. Second the Blix for 4 minutes, after which you need to wash the film. I do this with water at the same temperature as the chemicals, 38 C degrees. Final step is the satbiliser which only needs 1 minute.
I must add that it's recommended to pre-warm and pre-wash the film, which i do as well. The Jobo TBE has room for a normal sized tank and 4 1 ltr. bottles.
All in all: if you think this is any harder to do than developing a black and white film: it's NOT! So if you're in doubt, i'd say just do it!
You can find many ways to create a bath with 38C of temperature to keep your process spot-on, but if you really want to make it easy on yourself try to find a Jobo TBE!
You'll see plenty of pictures in my latest submissions (and more to come) which have been home developed in Tetenal, i am really happy with the results!

Selling stuff
Since i have way too many cameras and lenses i decided to start selling them. First i used Catawiki auctions and Marktplaats.nl but somehow i was never happy with both.
At Catawiki you never know what you're gonna get, sometimes i got lucky but i also had to let perfect cams go for 3 euros! And marktplaats is just for the Dutch, and that's a way too tiny market to sell old gear nowadays.
I knew about Etsy for some time, but never thought about using it myself. So i asked around a bit and decided to start a shop!
And i must say: it's great! I've sold some nice items so i'll be putting up more (and more) over time!

As of today you can find me on FB as well!
Never had an account before, so it's all quite new to me. The main reason is that many photographic related stuff is on there, i was never able to comment under my own name because i then used my wife's account.
So: find me there if you like!!

Lomography Orca anyone?? (b/w 110 film)
Just recently i got interested in 110 film.
The reason is a Minolta Pocket Autopack 470 with a seperate flash unit. This camera is very different from all other 110 cameras. It is metered and automatically adjusts exposure ranging in shutterspeeds from 2 seconds to 1/1000 sec.! Besides that it has focus zones, a close-up lens and a real glass Rokkor lens.
Last but not least: it is really well made and feels like a camera instead of a plastic pocket cam. Closest come the metal Agfa models, but most of them only shoot one shutterspeed.
I'll post some pics of it tomorrow.
BUT!! Problem!!
Here it is: i planned on shooting it with the Lomogr
The Diana F+, a small test!
Yes! I bought one................. :shocked:
Why? Good question!
Well, it was the complete DeLuxe set with just about every accessory you can buy except for the instant back. And it included quite a large amount of films, all at a reasonable price.
I always wondered how it would be to actually use one of these youngster hipster hype cams. So i did a little testrun with it, loaded with a Kodak T-max 400 film. ISO 400 is the best film for general use according to Lomography. The camera has only one shutterspeed, 1/60 sec. and 3 aperture settings, f/11 (cloudy) f/16 (partial cloudy) and f/22 (sunny). Yes that is dark! But you can mount a flas

Nice. I wish I could stumble across a Jobo processor.
