Annibale G. Posted August 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello guys, I switched from a 4 reels developing tank to one which can contains 8 reels. The smaller is about 1lt, the bigger one is about 1,6 lt. Do you think I have to change devoloping time? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Hi Annibale G., Take a look here Developing Film Tank. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Xmas Posted August 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 1, 2010 Hi No, just mix up more dev (and fix). The capacity is normally on the underside of plastic tanks. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 1, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 1, 2010 Just be twice as careful with your agitation, temperature etc. If it goes wrong, it goes wrong with 8 films, not 4... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted August 2, 2010 Share #5 Posted August 2, 2010 Is it a patterson with the red band that you manually invert? If so get into the habit of hooking your index finger over the funnel rim when pouring out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted August 2, 2010 Share #6 Posted August 2, 2010 Times are exactly the same if everything else is the same including agitation.. Personally I would fill it with water and give inversion a try, then rethink 8 reels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christer Posted August 2, 2010 Share #8 Posted August 2, 2010 If you twist the funnel it clicks into place and won't fall out. Chris Murphy's law applies here too. I know from experience. And it happened when emptying out the developer. There's an acronym for it, but I have forgotten it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted August 3, 2010 Share #9 Posted August 3, 2010 Wear and complacency are the words you are looking for, Christer:o. Funnels get less secure with use and the contents of the longer tanks give a good bump on pour out. You will only do it once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
