andybarton Posted April 1, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just as an experiment, I processed some Portra 160 in HC110B this morning. 6 minutes at 22C, agitation for 10 seconds, every minute. Apart from the brown base layer, the negs are very scannable. Might be useful to know in an emergency M2/50 DR Summicron/Portra 160/HC110B/Coolscan V/Scanned as a DNG via Vuescan [ATTACH]308056[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jneilt Posted April 1, 2012 Share #7 Posted April 1, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I remember reading somewhere that it was possible to develop c-41 films as B&W and then go back in and develop as c-41. Given, I would not trust a pharmacy lab to do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted April 1, 2012 Share #8 Posted April 1, 2012 Looks like Chester (too easy for the "Do you know the world?" thread). Thank you for the research, it might come handy in an emergency. Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted April 1, 2012 Share #10 Posted April 1, 2012 A good post for April 1. But seriously, this came up a month or so ago. All photographic film is basically B&W film. Color films just have extra layers and chemicals to add the color. But if you bypass the color processing, by a) using a B&W developer that does not have the color-dye-formation chemicals, and skipping the bleaching step common to color processes (which erases the silver image) you can get a B&W silver negative from most any film.

bull40 Posted April 5, 2012 Share #14 Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks for the idea. Will have to try that with some of the color stock I don't care for in the freezer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
