It was published by Fountain Press London in 1958 so I would guess you = would need to query English book sellers. The 2 volumes are extraordinary.

Also, I've been looking for a copy of the=20 english language edition of Glafkides for years now, it=20 seems to be quite rare. I found recent formulas for reversal processing in one of=20 the Kodak manuals for motion picture processing H2415. This=20 is available on-line from the Kodak site, it is Module 15 of=20 a publication _Processing Kodak Motion Picture Films_ The=20 various sloutions are for machine processing of motion=20 picture stock but might be useful as indicating the=20 approach. The process described still uses a re-exposure to=20 strong light to fog the film. Kodak's color processes seem=20 to use a borain but the chemistry is beyond me. I think the=20 formulas for processing color motion picture film are also=20 on line from Kodak or perhaps the MSDS for the E-6 chemistry=20 would have a hint. I think chemical fogging is used for=20 these processes. Again, I find it odd that there seems to be so little=20 literature covering reversal processing of B&W film despite=20 its wide use for perhaps 40 years. I am not a chemist. There is one I can write to and=20 perhaps get a better answer. I will try that. --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx=20 --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe'=20 in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with=20 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
