Stealth3kpl Posted May 5, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have lots of VistaPlus 200 film. What would be a good starting point if I were to run it through with the intention of developing it in D76? Run it through at 200? Develop as per TriX? Then how would I proceed to fine tune the process? Is it a ridiculous notion? I am interested to see the outcome, especially if it means I save on C41 processing in the future.

philipus Posted May 10, 2014 Share #7 Posted May 10, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Agfa Vista is also sold quite inexpensively here in NL at Kruidvat, though not quite as low as the equivalent of 1£. I've used it on and off the last few years and generally like it. I think both 200 and 400 produce nice results, though both can be pretty grainy in darker settings (see larger versions of the second and fourth image below). First two are with ISO 200.

Bobitybob Posted May 11, 2014 Share #9 Posted May 11, 2014 Pete Like you, I've acquired a lot of this from the Pound Shop, (although my local store now seems to have run out) and was considering using my normal B&W developer Rodinal and found this https://www.flickr.com/groups/rodinal/discuss/72157626770588601/ I know it's not D76 but is this of any value?

Bobitybob Posted May 12, 2014 Share #11 Posted May 12, 2014 Pete An example of my experiment with developing Vista Plus in Rodinal as per the instructions from Flickr in my previous post. Scanned as a colour negative, which is my normal practice even for B&W, they came out with a distinct yellow tinge. Welcome, dear visitor!

Stealth3kpl Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted May 12, 2014 Yes, that looks pretty good. Is this EV 200, 20ºC, Rodinal 1:50 dilution for 10/11 minutes? Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobitybob Posted May 12, 2014 Share #13 Posted May 12, 2014 Yes that's correct Agfa Vista Plus exposed at ISO 200, I used the following for the example above All at 20ºC Pre-soak 5min, Rodinal 1:50 dilution - Development time of 10 minutes. Started with 30 sec agitation then 5 sec more each 90sec Stop 1min Fixer 3min Wash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
