@MerriMayhem I wound up with the same experience with brand new film last weekend, except it was all 8 sheets. Four sets of doubles.

@surlyshirley In my experience, developers always name what they build after what they tore down and replaced it with. So this only makes sense.

@katswansey I used to use cotton gloves, but kept getting threads on my negatives. Now I just use my bare hands and am careful. Also, second the recommendations for PrintFile. I have old binders that I got from a company that doesn’t exist any more, Light Impressions.

One thing that makes Kiev rangefinders #CrappyCommieCameraParty cameras is that the shutters break easily. I have five or six of the cameras, and only two of them work. I wanted to make sure my 1953 Kiev II still worked, so I loaded a short roll of Double XX & went to Sandy Hook https://t.co/1vWWt5EF7A

Looking at a bug where Chrome for Windows places its scroll bar over an item that has a z-index intended to place it above the div with the scroll bar. The fix is to put transform: translate(0) on the div with the scroll bar. Having flashbacks to IE6 and hasLayout.
