My Patterson tanks are dual 35mm or single 120 rolls. On the bottom of the tank, the minimum amount for 120 is listed as 500mL. So, you need enough dev/stop/fix to make at least 500mL. You can add a …

As has been stated, in most cases, this is a bad idea. However, if you plan to cross process C-41 films to E-6, then what you’ve listed is a starting point. Normally exposed C-41, when crossed, come …

Development: In developing, 99% of developing is done with an abundance of developer chemical and the total development reaction controlled by temperature and time. … Developer Exception to the Rule: When doing stand development with Rodinal, developing the chemical to exhaustion is the goal. …

The most common way to stabilize temperatures is to measure out all of your steps into separate containers. Place everything into a larger container filled with water, and in my case, ice. Get the lar …

But, how can you overdevelop if you are developing to exhaustion? The only way is to include more actual developer. … But, the first step is to find a baseline amount of Rodinal to use in stand developing film shot at or below box speed, and then experiment with a single film and that same amount of Rodinal and additional …

Developers can be broken down into a couple of large categories: Fine Grain Developers / Solvent Developers Examples include Kodak D-76 and XTOL. They tend to soften the grains, creating a very fine …

Jindra Lacko's answer directly answers your question, but I wanted to add this: You can push the accutance a tad more if you go with a super dilute stand development using Rodinal. This also reduces …
