If no one speaks up, because I forget if we added anyone after you, then when you're ready just ship it back to me. I'll send you my address separately. Let's give anyone next in line until end of day on 5 March to reply. That should be enough time.

Eric needs the recipient's full name before he can ship it.

Send it on to Eric. Please include a note to him to charge the repair and shipping on to the next person to me (David Hancock, he knows who I am.) I'll shoot him an e-mail today to let him know the plan. Make sure to include the correct forwarding address with the note so it doesn't come to me first. If you want to ship it to him from Boston to save a few dollars, definitely do. At the Post Office, the easiest way to do it will be to ship it via USPS Priority Mail. Ask the counter agent for a Priority Mail Box 4, which is a 7x7x6 "cube." Or there are flat-rate medium-sized boxes in the lobby you can use. From Boston to Knoxville the price will be about the same for shipping each of them but the medium boxes need more dunnage and USPS will charge you for that (and tape). Definitely do not ship Parcel, please, as the tracking mechanisms for Priority are better (I've never had a Priority package lost in transit, only Parcel packages.)

We can tack you onto the end. I need to scour this thread for the current and complete list. I feel like it's expanded since the one that was on page 1.

E-mail Eric Hendrickson. Include the SN and let him know that this is one he repaired for David Hancock earlier this year. Ask if there are any resolutions you can do at home or if it needs to go back in for repair. It's a distinct possibility something as jostled in shipping. If it needs a repair, we will probably need to proceed sans TTL metering and deal with a repair when it gets back to U.S. soil.

That'll do it. IIRC,SHD likes more neutral-result developers like D-76+5. I haven't make my All About Film YouTube video on it, but I've shot around with it a bit and tried some different developers.

That's definitely the SHD look -- mega contrast and 400 ISO grain with 100 ISO speed. Good shots and good use of the film's aesthetic.

I just got a chance to scan and edit the black and white photos I took when I had the traveling K1000. I thought I had taken more than one roll with it in black and white, but, I guess not. This is Ilford HP5+, Rodinal 1+50 for 11:00.

At this point, with as many hurdles as we've had, I'm certain no one will begrudge you an extra week or two with it.

Reach out to Mike at Phototronic in Topeka and let him know that David Hancock recommended him. He fixed a camera (a very complex Taron) for me that Mark could not. You can also find Mike at the YouTube channel FixOldCameras.

Thank you, the tree and fog shot was my favorite from the day, too.

The blue artifact is something that CN200 does. The first few frames of every roll are usually red-fogged because the film lacks an antihalation layer to protect it from light leaking through the cassette mouth. But CN200 is notorious for other weird glitches. The blue spot looks like a dye run, where an area of dye didn't clear. It could have been a flaw in the dye layer or an are where the dye was a bit thicker and didn't fully clear. It's definitely not the weirdest thing that I've seen CN200 do.

As for the rules, I can't recall any more. But I actually don't care if anyone uses more than just the fast 50.

I sent two of the four K1000 rolls that I took lat Saturday off to the lab and received the C-41 images (The E100 isn't developed yet, but I'll post images when I get those photos.)

These were taken on Rollei CN200 with the camera's included 50mm f/1.4 lens and my 77mm FA Limited, 100mm D-FA macro, and Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 RL Edition lens. So I put my thumb on the scale a bit and used lenses other than the fast fifty. Here are some of the photos that turned out well. These were all taken at Castlewood State Park near Castle Rock, Colorado.

Rollei CN 200:










Kodak E100:








Fuji Velvia 50:










If you'd like to see the whole album: 11-17-18 K1000 - David Hancock

I'll edit this post again when I get some new chemistry and can develop the B&W rolls.

The K1000 will ship out to Matt this week.

Edit: Confirming that the K1000 is on it's way to Matt Canada and that my hike with it the other weekend yielded really good results.

Just a note, I got the K1000 back from Eric. I'm going to give it a test run on Saturday then send it along on Monday with some film.

I'll follow up, but I would assume so. In Eric's defense, I sent him something like 15 cameras to work on in that lot.

Eric received the new K1000 yesterday. I have not heard from kp0c (he hasn't been online in a while, either.) So we'll give him until I have to pay the invoice and name a shipping address.

Mattcard, as a backup, can you PM me your shipping address. If we don't hear from kp0c I'll have Eric send it along to you.

Just confirming that the K1000 is off for repair. I haven't yet heard from kp0C. I'll follow up with him when I hear from Eric and if I don't have a response the camera will go to Mattcard.
