OK, I’ve now established some standard development times for 2 films when processed in Caffenol CL. Note that Caffenol CL has relatively low pH and meant for long, stand development. I’m a little impatient so I did what’s called a semi-stand development where you agitate the film once every 15 …
Here’s the first photo I scanned from the Ilford 100 Delta Pro 120 roll film processed using Caffenol CL for 60 minutes at 20 °C. The film was shot at ISO 1600/33°. The negatives were a little too dense but then I found that my Bronica SQ-Ai was acting up …
I just finished processing a couple of rolls of 120 film and a quick inspection shows the negatives were clear (no uneven fog) although it looks like the development times will need adjusting. I’ll find out for sure once the rolls are dry (in a couple of hours) but right …
