Playing with a 1951(?) Leica iiif. Pinhole light leaks fixed, but rangefinders still vex me…

Hi Andre! Thank you for your kind words. It’s an “analog” darkroom technique. You file out the frame of a negative carrier to expand the exposure space into the dark edge of the negative. The result is an irregular, unique frame. I’m sure there are digital alternatives, I just don’t know them! 😆

Our farmhouse in Maine sits on the same cove where you’ll find the Olson House. This iconic structure can be seen in Christina’s World and other paintings by Andrew Wyeth. I discover something new each time I find myself here…

I’ve never heard of this developer. Black, white, & green? What does it do?
