Kevin tackles a few subjects in this column including an Italian developer, Nucleol FB200, which sounds very interesting but has completely escaped my attention in the past. Anyone know anything about it?
The third page also contains an amusing item about a new lens cleaning brush. Take a look at the caption for the product. I'm saying nothing.

£35 for a bag in 1984! Blimey - that was an expensive bag - my 1980 Nikon canvas job cost £10 and lasted 4 solid years of daily use before it developed a hole or three.
ReplyDeleteI paid that for my Fotima around the same time. It took a bit of persuasion from Blair Russell of Edinburgh cameras but it was a good decision as I'm still using it.
DeleteThanks very much for taking the time to provide that information, Diego. It sounds an interesting developer. Thanks, too, for the offer of a pack of Nucleol. I'd like to take you up on that one if you can let me know how much the postage would be. One can never have too many developers to try. :)
ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeleteare you still interested in Nucleol BF200? Bellini foto, a tiny italian company, has it in production, even if it's not on their site yet. Nucleol BF 200 can be purchased contacting mr. Abati at bellini foto: filippo.abati@bellinifoto.it
By the way, back in the '80s my killer film combo was ilford FP4 at 1000ISO (one thousand!) developed in Nucleol BF200. lovely results!
