Old stock of glacial acetate
acid (12 years old and 40p for 500ml) I had been using like there was no
tomorrow until I started getting low. Imagine the shock I got when
enquiring the present price at my local chemist. shop, £10 I was quoted
for 500m1. After I picked myself up off the floor the chemist said, but
it. is B. P. quality and I hastily said no thank you all the same. Most
photographic shops do not stock it either. They only seem to have the
80% solution complete with indicator, which I believe suitable for a
black and white stop bath. Rayco do 500ml bottles but with postage this
works out very expensive, also where do we go from here?

I have completed the
transition from CR100 and shot off several reels of CRX 100 on a
November holiday abroad. While away I shot off a 36 exposure test film
of some outstanding scenery with four or five of the major colours It
was the same scene on all shots at 1/250 sec but I groups of three
frames with 100 ASA, plus I stop. I just cut off about 5 inches
of film as required in a changing bag.
This
is of course a direct comparison of freshly made up developer.

Remember the Nimslo 3-D Camera? This really did (shouldn’t
really put this in the past tense as technically it is still current)
produce three-dimensional prints without the need for any special
viewing aid.
But what about slides? . If anyone has bought one at the knock down
prices they have advertised lately, and has used the camera to get
successful 3-D slides, please share your knowledge and tips. There seems
to be a resurgence of interest in ‘deepies’ and any information
which we can share is. to be appreciated. Does anyone know of those
Russian cameras which gave very long negs (or slides) on 35mm film? I
think they were called HORIZONT. If you know the where abouts of one not
too outrageous price, 1 would like to hear from you. Must be cheap.
