I have a sneaking suspicion that the cinestill films do NOT like refrigeration. I store all of my films in the frig and have way more than my share of schmootz. I am willing to bet a lolipop that this is what causes - or at least significantly contributes to - Cinestill schmootz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT0227 Posted March 18, 2019 Share #59167 Posted March 18, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi film friends. Well...I guess it was bound to happen at some point; I botched my first roll during development. I processed a roll of TriX in HC-110 and the entire roll came out as if I shot it with my lens cap on ( which I didn't). I ended up with a long, clear, strip of film and assume this was due to expired developer. Can someone confirm, this has never happened to me? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar experience, although I was experimenting, with 510 Pyro. It was related to fact that I did not develop long enough, i.e. too short a time or too dilute solution. HC-110 has a pretty long shelf life. I have had my bottle for over two years with result that it worked just as well last week as it did when it was fresh. Also it could be related to underexposure. Was you camera equipped with auto meter? Meter failure? Shutter speed problem? I would bet against there being a problem with the HC-110. I am constantly experimenting, and screw things almost routinely. My guess would be underexposure. Best, Wayne 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Wayne Thanks guys....I'm using an M6J with a built in Meter, I'm almost 100% certain it was - not - my exposure settings. I also used the same lens on my SL the next day with no issue, so the lens and shutter is not the problem (I think); the curtain on my M6J seems ok too. I pushed this roll, about 12:45min of rotation dev time. I store my raw HC-110 in small individual bottles to keep the air out the chemistry I'm not using at the time. I mixed up a 2000ml stock solution of HC-110 about 1month ago and I was down to last 300ml, it was brown, but I just figured it was still ok as HC-110 browns over time. My stock fixer is about as old as my developer and my stop bath is a few months older. I usually just dump and remix my old stock chemistry after a month of non use, especially when low, and never used the developer if it was brown....I rolled the dice this time, seems to have come up snake-eyes. I'm just not sure which part of the chemistry is at fault here. Edited March 18, 2019 by MT0227 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with a long, clear, strip of film and assume this was due to expired developer. Can someone confirm, this has never happened to me? Thanks! Hi Marc, sorry to hear about your blank roll. It's happened to me once, but with XTOL which, unlike to my knowledge HC-110, is known to expire suddenly after 3-6 months of mixing. In my case, it was most certainly expired developer - or so my subsequent process of elimination led me to believe (see below). Everything else was fine after I mixed up fresh chemicals (like you, I did them all at the same time). Now I always do a little test before starting development. With the developer diluted/mixed and at temperature, I throw a small piece of undeveloped film into the jug. The thing is to watch this piece of film - if it eventually turns black, the developer is good. If not, it's time to mix up a fresh batch. I just get the film ends by cutting off a centimeter or so when I load the films onto the reels in my changing tent. It doesn't seem to matter how they're stored - I just keep a few in a ziplock bag, and they can be exposed to the light all the time. This little procedure gives me peace of mind before I start the development process that there will be no unpleasant surprises at the end. By the way, if there was nothing on the film - no numbers on the side, no dark leader - just totally blank film, then it MUST be your developer. Your fixer is fine, because it's cleared ALL the silver from the acetate or whatever-it-is strip. If the developer had have worked and the film simply hadn't been exposed in the camera, then the leader part that was exposed to light when you loaded the film in the camera, and edge-numbers etc would still appear on the developed/fixed film and just the rest would be blank because the working developer would have caused the exposed bits to become black metallic silver and the fixer would have just cleared away everything else.

You are right, one can not possess every beautiful camera on the market and we all have only one eye to look through the viewfinder, but there are times where the GAS comes all of a sudden and sometimes it is a difficult fight between the devil on the one side of my shoulder and the angel on the other one.

First gut feeling was developed with fixer by mistake. Easy to do, and saves a step, except the results aren't what you want. Now you've done it though (assumes this happened) you'll not do it again. Leader was clear as well, including the segment that hooked onto the take up petal, and was exposed to daylight??? Any numbers along the film??? If not, fixer I suspect.
