    My heart starts beating faster - I gave up motor cycling but when I see these beauties ...........and again this interesting process - never heard of Imagelink Film?

    @rolfmg Yes, I can't go long without having a motorcycle around. The Imagelink film is a microfilm - literally like microfilms in a library. But it is a pretty good B&W film. ISO 6 but people get it out to 20 or 25 or more (depending on developer). Still manufactured, 100 foot rolls go for about 35 to 50 dollars US. Only problems are: the emulsion is subject to scratching, it's a thick base, and NO PERFORATIONS usually. But it develops quickly and fixes usually in 1 or 2 minutes.... can be fun!

    @charliedontsurf yes and normally I wouldn't care too much but I just got this running after it's sat for a couple years and I'm trying to figure where/ when I'm getting some leaks. So is actually quite scientific
