chrism Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9865 Posted January 19, 2016 I tried again today with 20ºC C-41 development. This time I used 1+5 dilution of the colour developer (50ml of CD and 250ml water in a Paterson 35mm tank) for 50 minutes. I solved the surge marks from the sprocket holes that I got yesterday by using the swizzle stick for rotary agitation - 30 seconds every ten minutes. Followed with 6.5 minutes of blix at 20ºC and stabiliser. The negatives look a bit more like a normally developed film, but on scanning they still have a strong purple tint rather than the usual blue. Raw scans and inversion in ColorPerfect gets the colours just about spot on. Only very slight tweaks to colour temperature and tint were needed. C-41 Semistand #13 by chrism229, on Flickr C-41 Semistand #12 by chrism229, on Flickr C-41 Semistand #11 by chrism229, on Flickr C-41 Semistand #10 by chrism229, on Flickr I make no claims for the subjects; I simply needed to expose the film to play with the developing! And it's -10ºC outside, so I didn't care to go out more than I had to. So it seems like a workable method, but with pouring, diluting, 50 minutes of development and agitating every ten minutes, it tied me to the kitchen sink for about an hour and a half. Now this isn't quicker than heating the solutions in a water bath followed by the standard quick development, and at least I can go and do something else while the solutions warm up. Standard development also means I can scan with the X1 (which is quick) and get good colours. These need the magic of ColorPerfect, which means slow raw scans on the Nikon. I'll probably go back to 39ºC development, but it was fun to experiment. Chris 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9867 Posted January 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know it's human nature to tinker, it certainly is in this country, but maybe there is a reason the manufacturers designed this process with these specific temperatures? Having said that I have varied the temp and time with B&W occasionally. Fortunately right now the tap water seems to be a constant 20ºC.

Michael Hiles Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9868 Posted January 19, 2016 I have enough trouble figuring out where to point my camera - challenging myself with trial-and-error chemistry and physics would shift my focus from the picture. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share #9870 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) We are a bit on the edges Cartesian. For this reason, we try to look for... In the case of the development of color film, Chris has been testing and I thank him The manufacturer recommends 38 ° C at the beginning.I have developed some rolls at this temperature and I wanted to change and develop at 30 ° CI have always learned that a too high temperature can damage the productswhence my tests at 30 °. I continue to develop at 30°C Chris wanted to try it first at 20 ° C as did RP. it apparently works for him.I'll also try to get down to 20 ° C to see with my next roll but I need to think , taking account of Chris trialsAnyway thank you to Chris for this work. Best Henry PS : All my last color film posted above is dev at 30°C Edited January 19, 2016 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted January 19, 2016 Share #9871 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) The Tetenal liquid kit gives times for temperatures down to 20ºC, but the powdered presskit sold as Unicolor/Jobo/Tetenal does not. It does say that for roller-drum development you can go down to 75ºF/24ºC for 17.5 minutes - it only gives times for 102ºF/39ºC for manual tanks. Has anyone experience of using powdered chemicals at lower temps? Needless to say, I'm tempted to experiment further. I cannot buy the liquid Tetenal kit here in Canada (and I see B&H have just made the powdered presskits pick-up-in-store only. Sods.)

A miller Posted January 20, 2016 Share #9874 Posted January 20, 2016 wow, the power of this thread has shown me its full force! A heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to indulge me and provide their objective opinion. I have carefully mapped out the responses in Excel and taken note of all of the specific comments made. Subject to possiblly adding one or two to my flickr stream, I will put these aside for a couple of months and come back to them with hopefully less emotion and more objectivity. Thanks to everyone again for their time. JM - The SWC is really a gem of a camera. The Biogon lens is legendary and about as distortion-free as one can get. And the way in which the lens sits especially close to the film is really quite unique. I typically will not rely on the external VF that much and instead will do most of the framing with the ground glass and prism viewfinder (I use an old NC-2). The prism provides a very clear and magnified view of what the lens is seeing and the frame lines allow for leveling, confirming focus and framing. I would highly recommend that you look for a version with a multi-coated lens. The earlier versions did not have this and you really want it for maximum color vibrancy. Good luck and enjoy. --Adam 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2016 Share #9875 Posted January 20, 2016 Konstanz by -Ric Capucho- Contax T2 and the usual XP2. This was taken on a car ferry as we were crossing Lake Constance (also known as the Bodensee) and I spotted another ferry coming the other way. What the photo doesn't show is that it was bitterly cold, and because I'd jumped out of the car for a quick snap I didn't bother putting on a jacket. So I framed the shot in the view finder... and then realised I'd have to wait a couple of minutes because the ferry was a tiny spot in the distance. By now people were looking out of their warn cars at the shirt-sleeved idiot with the funny old camera, and taking bets as to how long I'd last out there. "Click", turned on my heel, and ran back and then into the car. Brrrrrrrr. Wife and kids thought I was nuts. I *knew* I was nuts. Ric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
