I spent eight months making 104 gelatin silver prints for a photo project in my home darkroom. Sharing here what I learned along the way.

I designed a system for multigrade filters with filter carriages, a storage box that makes it easy to find the required grade under the dim safelight, and an under-lens filter holder that screws directly into a 40.5 mm lens thread. makerworld.com/en/models/16...

Yesterday, there was a Harman Phoenix 2 launch photowalk organised by Fotoimpex in Berlin. I shot a roll of Phoenix 2 in 120 with my Bronica S2A.

First time shooting positive film. I like its fine grain, but it's so hard to expose in high-contrast lighting; the shadows turned out almost black.

Finally, the 120 film scanning setup is sorted out! After half a year of searching for an old Epson V700/750 at a good price, I found V750 for 150 euro yesterday. I'm so pleased with the results it produces after adjusting the film holder height.

Even though the Nokton 50mm f1.5 is a fantastic lens, the lack of a focus tab was irritating. This $5 attachable tab with sticky tape arrived today. It was easy to install and fits perfectly ✨

I developed a test roll from the poor man’s Hasselblad (Bronica S2) that I've brought from Japan. It's prone to the focusing issue due to ground glass shift, but this body looks clean and serviced. The negatives turned out clinically sharp! Only an indent was missing on one photo. #filmphotography

It’s funny how some people pay $$$ for fancy accordion bottles that are hard to clean or come up with something crazy like wine bladders to store chemistry, while I just squeeze the air out of my 5L bottle with a stock XT-3 solution and close it. #filmphotography #filmdevelopment

The new iM30 flash from Godox is an amazing little helper – it weighs almost nothing and fits in a sling bag. Since it's fully manual, I designed a spreadsheet with distances to not calculate guide numbers and glued it to the back with adhesive tape. Download it here

I watched two movies directed by Andrei Tarkovsky yesterday: "Ivan's Childhood" and "Andrei Rublev". The composition and tonal separation in them are so well-crafted, that every scene could serve as a study in b/w photography.
