Hi Mark,
Finally got home from my travels to read the opening edition of Monochrome Mania, which arrived during this time.
Great job!
Really enjoyed reading it, added some useful information to my B&W database - I've been an Ilford Delta 100 user for far too long, both 120 and 35mm.
Love the "warts 'n' all" approach to your writing, which helps me better appreciate some of my earlier failures.
You're right, there's nothing more satisfying than doing home development, even if the printing part is no longer an option (space and adequate ventilation being the main obstacles to overcome).
Looking forward to #2 with great anticipation.
And, at $10, it's a steal!!
With regards,
David
Dave,
Thanks for your comment! I have been pleased with the sales of the zine so far. I had 100 copies printed, so box two is unopened at this time. I enjoy sharing my failures, too. It's not like everything happens right on the first try.
Best wishes,
Mark
I just received Issue No. 1 today and read through the whole thing. I've not been too happy with low ISO film but MM1 has inspired me to give it another go. I have a roll of FPP Ortho Film 6566 which I guess is the same as their (out of stock) Kodalith Type 3, which I really need to get out and shoot. I see you have used Diafine for Kodalith; that's one of only two developers, the other being Rodinal (other than caffenol that I can make up to order) as I find that I usually end up wasting anything else; it goes bad before I can use it all up. Diafine and Rodinal seem to last forever. So--whenever I shoot that 6566 I'll use Diafine, though I wonder if I should meter at ISO 12 since Diafine advertises itself as doubling effective film speed.
I assume that the edition is out of print.
If you re-edit and send to Spain, put me down for one.
