Today's my chance to get to B&H before they close for another week.
SHOPPING LIST:
- Ink. I need ink. Many of the original cartridges for the 4800 are low. Real low. I think I will stick with the 110 ml size. I can save money by going to 220 ml. but they stick out of the printer and I'm afraid I won't use them fast enough.
- Letter size Ilford Smooth Pearl for the rush of 5 x 7 prints that are going to come pouring in (yeah right). I might pick up a pack of Epson Lustre again as well. Not even sure why.
- Microphen. Mark has gotten good results with Tri-x @ 1600 and I have been meaning to try it. Early morning and I don't remember if it was Microphen or Ilfophen - I'd better check but it's a powder so I need a jug to store it in.
- Should I go hog-wild and buy a funnel or just keep using a rolled up piece of paper as I've done for the last few decades?
- More Tri-x. I've gone through that film like water.
- Canned air. Mostly for negatives before they're scanned.
- Leica 75mm f1.4 lens (just kidding folks. How many 5 x 7 prints would I need to sell to buy that lens? A lot.)
Anyway - I do need to thank my cat. He has been waking me up at about 6 a.m. - as opposed to 3 a.m. - so I should stop off at the pet store and buy him something special for his effort. I would like to get him another cat - maybe somewhat puny - that he can boss around. Oh well Buddy - it'll have to be some catnip treat.
