I am Mark, a long time photography enthusiast based near Blackpool in Lancashire. I shoot mostly black and white film in formats ranging from 35mm to large format.
I’ve used both the Cinestill and Bellini kits. Had good results with both. The Cinestill is simpler as a first attempt as it has combined bleach and fix. The only downside is that the blix can build up pressure in the tank, which is less of a problem in my Jobo tanks than other tanks.

Some Holga 120N images from a walk on the east side of The River Wyre in Lancashire yesterday. A very dull day so I used Ilford Delta 3200, developed in D76H stock. #filmphotography #analoguephotography #analogphotography #holga #believeinfilm

Thanks!

Fantastic reflections!

Thanks! They all had the orange filter on, which is my favourite option. Hence opting for the fast film at this time of year.

One other option that I’m going to try are some acid free A4 double-sided adhesive sheets, I bought them a couple of weeks ago in Hobbycraft. I just hate using spray mount!

The other thing that I like about FB is that I can hot dry mount it, unlike RC.
