Yes, 3 minutes A and 3 minutes B at 70 is fine but I find now that 75 F is best for most modern emulsions.

i’m about to try this out myself with some colour slide film, i’ll get back to you about how that worked because there are very few references to work like this.

Comment on Diana Camera Film Loading Tip and Technique by figitalrevolution

Kimberly- I assume you mean the 35mm back for the Diana F+…if so it just attaches and loads like standard 35mm film and it should come with pretty good instructions as mine did. If you mean to load 35mm film in the Diana F+ which is a 120mm film camera here is a link on how to do it without buying the back….

No list!

And I really don’t want to go back through the podcast, fast-forwarding and zipping back to find each mention, then hope I’ve got the spelling right on the papers….
