I just posted this on the X-ray thread, but it fits here as well.
After reading about shooting X-ray film on LFF I decided to try the Kodak B/RA Single Emulsion film. One reason was all the discussion about scratches on double emulsion. My only way to process is by using Beseler drums with motor base.
I started with my normal HC110 at 50/1 for various times, from 8 to 11 minutes. The results were fair, but highlights were bad. I then switched to Caffenol-C in drum including motor base. The results were the same with times from 8 to 15 minutes.
So I shot the Lenten Roses with my Super Graflex and lens 203mm Kodak Ektar at F11, 1/50 using ASA 200 for film speed. The processing used Caffenol-C at 70 degrees for 5 minutes. This is the best results I have had. Could note get the temperature down to the goal of 68 trying to mix only 8 total ounces.
