If it's the film development then agitation is the place to start looking. I used to agitate for 5 seconds every 60 seconds and that was 100% reliable.

Outlet or not, it's not something that would make me accept a sub-standard product.

Looks like you're doing just fine with it Andy, nice result.

The exposure was adjusted so that the black backgound became totally black and the highlights were just retained. Some small areas of 255-255-255 were accepted, but metallic reflections are what they are and they need to be kept looking vital.

The exposure was mostly handled in camera, -1.7EV I think, and the final tweak done in Photoshop Levels.

Many photographers rarely use flash, not because it's too complicated for them, but because they enjoy the characteristics of available light. Flashguns are also quite expensive, or at least the marque and high end independent ones are, and with high ISO giving excellent results, plus a built in flash for emergency use, there's probably much less demand.

You put the lens on the camera, set the aperture ring to "A" and then use it normally. There is nothing special that needs doing.

I tend to use Photoshop in the same way that I used the darkroom. It's used to finish and polish the image, not to distort it.

However, that doesn't mean that I don't do extensively photoshopped images if the image is suitable.

Not directly, but our Epson 1290s is still giving stirling service after several years use.
