Hi guys

 

 

I need some advice about pushing hp5 to 3200.

 

The chems I have at home are tmax-dev d76 and microdol. Which one should get the most ok results.

 

And before you ask:the film was pushed by mistake and while there probably is some muchbetter chems for the task, the once mentioned above is what I have and i wont be buying anything else at the moment.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would think 30sec initial agitation and then 10 seconds on the minute (or depending on how you do your agitation maybe two inversions on the minute).

 

Good luck

Thanks mate!

Just realize who answered my question. I have your thumbies on all my Leicas :)

Hm just hanged it up for drying. Many frames look terribly underexposed whilst others look high in contrast so the times above was probably right but the metering was prob bad.

 

Not surprising really as you've under-exposed by at least three stops! ;)

I understand this won't help the original poster ... but I've seen very nice results from Ilford HP5 at E.I. 3200, developed in Tetenal Emofin two-bath developer. Acceptable grain and smooth tones with well-controlled contrast. However I cannot remember the development time.

I'm with broadside. The film was designed to work at or around ASA 400. Underexposing by 3 stops is absolutely going to result in some loses somewhere. If anything good comes of it, remember the dog walking on his hind legs - we are not surprised at how well it is done, rather that it is done at all. Make life easy on yourself - buy an ASA 3200 film and develop it properly.

Yeah. I have stash of both delta 3200 and tmax 3200. The hp5 film was shot as such by mistake ;-)
