Table for a walk-in shower?

Good morning.

Googling this is an impossible task but I’m confident this sub has been there, done that.

Id like to have a foldable table for my walk-in shower so I can print negatives. So, supporting an enlarger and 3 trays.

Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

(and seriously guys googling “folding plastic table” results only in the standard 29” height variety and I already have back issues)

Filter on this Lenox CX35-30

In hopes that someone has this furnace. I’m not physically onsite at my friends house but I’ve determined that since there are no filters in the returns, that are very high up, and no filters “drawers” anywhere near the furnace including the large metal box on the left I am assuming that the filter is in the lower half on the floor.

Does anyone have this specific furnace and if so do you know the filter size. Thank you.

The State of film labs

Wanted to give The Darkroom lab an opportunity to develop my next few rolls of 35mm.

While I first balked at the $19 per roll price tag as I’ve mentioned, I was going to see why they’ve received such good reviews. But I draw the line at charging me to NOT cut my roll. I wet mount scan.

Ive had very good success with Bushwick Community. Any others I should look at?

Sidebar: God, I miss A&I Labs out of LA.

Funny thing happened on the way to the auction.

So, I’ve been in communication with this cool guy about his eBay auction on a sweet XPan II. with all 3 lenses including the center filter and viewfinder. I don’t know if your aware but in the XPan market it’s slim pickings.

We‘ve been at it for four days and on the fifth day he went silent. No worries, as much as I wanted the II there was an equally sweet XPan I that was gently cared for and I’ve been negotiating with him as well as a back up. Well, since I didn’t hear back from Mr. II, Mr. I and I came to a deal and we closed it. It arrived this week and it’s beautiful.

Shortly afterwards guess what happened? Yep, Mr. II came back with an offer that shocked me. Too good to be true. And my whole reason for wanting an XPan was for long exposure landscape photography and the II has double the bulb time and Mr. II had included some sweet ND 6 stop filters.

Now, I’ve got to figure out a way to pay for them.

Got the other one…

After four long days of negotiations the seller of this system and I reached a mutual agreement. The xpan Duex system will be mine on Monday. While we were negotiating I came to a reasonable price with the Xpan 1 w/45mm and that’s arrived and it’s beautiful as well.

But I wanted the II for the longer bulb time as I shoot quite a bit of long exposures and this particular system was extremely well kept And of course the 30mm w/the center filter and viewer. And check this out, that 30mm lens hood, that’s selling on eBay for $1,200 and I think it’s the only one.

I‘ll put the I in a pelican case and see if anyone wants it next year. Cheers.
