Well that video gets straight to the point... Ty Pere.

Thank you Pere and Willie. I will look into the D76 or XTOL. I chose rodinal because I once saw an incredible low contrast (...) print on here that had that as the developer... Printing out this...

The most important thing I think is the failure in developing the negative... possibly the reciprocity failure, noone mentioned I'm using the wrong chemicals so I suppose they are good. Will be...

Negative or print? Thank you.

Are you both referring to negative or print? The negative is definitely very thin. Ty.

These responses are incredible. I meant 30-50 seconds for developing the negative and I agree the water could've and should've been warmer. Will purchase the used books mentioned and run some...

Thank you-

Now that I think about it, even a day time test was a very thin negative. The measurements are because I use the small measuring glass and larger water measuring glass, bought from a...

Note: these were 10 second exposures.

Having developed first batch of 8x10s, shot on ILFORD 100, I have found some issues. Low contrast prints and thin negatives.

These were shot with a shattered lens, and of course that will affect...

Hi Colton,
I see you live in heaven.

Someone posted using a 35mm format 50mm lens reversed to do close distance LF photos, is there a word for this technique?

Does it matter which side you contact print? If you want to retain the reversed Negative....

Great... Granite shot.

And now Ice cream and bedtime.

Incredible.

Another question, while my place is about 70 some degrees, even a bit hot, I noticed the water in the trays got very cold. I kept replacing the developer and water (for fear of the developers life/...

After developing about 25 8x10s since this post, a bunch of questions but for the moment is there a recommended paper to contact print? for Delta 100... Archival, fiber, etc? What options are there...

Yep. All good now, just lost two at the beginning. Dev about 25 since then.... TY.

Incredible, thank you Chris...

Thank you, you guys are amazing.

Yes its Ilford BW in Rodinal.... took another photo dev in darkness it worked.... Been many many years since developing....


I spent the past year shooting...

Ah I see thats it.... no wonder people use tube developers.... if you cant see the negative develop anyway.

Any other pointers? Can a green light be used as some places say?

I apologize for posting twice, trying to get this sorted out before tomorrow.


I cannot believe that is the mistake..... how could one even see the film is being developed if in total darkness?

Hello,

Attempting to develop some 8x10s, in trays, with Rodinal. (Just got delivered from freestyle). I am in the west so it was in some heat probably while being ground shipped...
