aesop Posted August 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) ...just discovered that I accidentally shot a roll of FP4 at 800 ASA . Need to push process, but does anyone have any ideas for the correct development time in Ilfosol 3? I am currently unable to get hold of any other developer (I can live with golf balls) and need to develop the roll asap. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted August 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2009 The The Massive Dev Chart gives the following for FP4+ Dilution 1+14, 9.5 minutes, at 24 degC, ISO 400 So, that would be one stop out. With b&w film you should get something printable out of that, I would have thought. Any way that you can do a clip test? Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted August 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 8, 2009 Not many people expose FP4+ at 800. That's your problem Have you tried APUG? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I get some responses, however acerbic they may be. Re: FP4@800, the roll should have been loaded into my "regular" camera body and not the "low-light" one . I was lucky to have picked up on the discrepancy or it would have been cooked @125. Yoikes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
antistatic Posted August 8, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 8, 2009 Maybe Ilfosol 3 isn't hardcore enough for APUG. Surely a real developer need to be reconstituted from ancient powders (I used and liked Ilfosol but didn't like its short shelf life once the bottle was opened) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a real developer need to be reconstituted from ancient powders (I used and liked Ilfosol but didn't like its short shelf life once the bottle was opened) Hi All, Aesop, sorry for your problem I use only Ilfosol 3 to develop my films FP4 and Delta 100. I keep the revealing during several months without problem in a cool place (cupboard of my laboratory) in darkness and blocked well. (see also the note) For Aesop the time of development seem longer for high speed. Regards Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alifie Posted August 8, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 8, 2009 Draw a graph of the known dev times vs film speed and extrapolate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted August 8, 2009 Share #9 Posted August 8, 2009 If you buy some XTOL (6 quid for 5 L powder to make enough for 30 rolls), then you may well be ok. Here's the kodak dev chart http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/j109/j109.pdf I've never pushed FP4 2 1/2 stops to 800, but I have pushed HP5 3 stops to 3200 with XTOL and it's fine. Good luck Charlie PS I've given up using Ilfosol and gone to XTOL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
