But this is very nice news/development. I hope I can try out their films sometime. Hope their operation gets big so their films have a wider reach in the globe. Right now I tried looking for this brand in my country but there isn't. But it would be very interesting to find some and try them out. :)Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845074545541042200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-44320505614241399462012-09-13T11:10:53.543-05:002012-09-13T11:10:53.543-05:00The Rondinax tank was jointly developed by Leitz a...The Rondinax tank was jointly developed by Leitz and Agfa. It had a compartment that held the cassette with the exposed film. It was important not to rewind the exposed film totally into the cassette because a metal clip would attach to the film leader which then was guided into the developing reel. Once loaded correctly, a lightproof cover was put onto the tank and the film was guided onto the developing reel with a knob on the side of the tank. After pouring in the developer, it was necessary to continuously turn the knob slowly because the developing reel was only partially submerged into the developer. The tank also featured a thermometer on the side to be able to monitor the developer temperature.<br /><br />You Tube has a video showing the use of the Rondinax tank at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCl3MaVYuSQ<br />LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-55577292769660891882012-09-13T10:51:13.611-05:002012-09-13T10:51:13.611-05:00I am not familiar with the Leitz Rondinax developi...I am not familiar with the Leitz Rondinax developing tank.

The rest of the operation is with lights on. Or, if you could find one of the Leitz Rondinax tanks or its Agfa equivalent, these can even be loaded with lights on.

The Adox recommended developers are designed to give the best results with these films.<br />The CMS films cannot be developed at a commercial lab unless they have the special Adotech developer available. By design, the CMS films have to be developed in Adotech developer. Other developers don't work.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-62474977102242697622012-08-16T13:36:07.327-05:002012-08-16T13:36:07.327-05:00Can these films be developed at am upscale photo l...Can these films be developed at am upscale photo lab?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-18452819767789627302012-08-15T10:31:47.403-05:002012-08-15T10:31:47.403-05:00I have added the information at the end of the art...I have added the information at the end of the article.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-54701525151981961892012-08-15T10:19:25.514-05:002012-08-15T10:19:25.514-05:00Those appear to be very interesting films.
