<p>well Ciaran,i've been using fuji 125T,reala 500D,fuji 250D,500T,64D and kodak 250D 50D and 500T.<br> well i've developed for 2min15 by mistake but when i saw the results i was amazed,2min15 and 105º.the grain almost desapear..but hey this is me,you better develop at 3min15 at 100º..what chemicals do you use? i only use kodak chemicals and paper.</p>

<p>hi..well for slides i dont have experience but with C-41 i develop a lot a films every week.well the developer its 3min15 for normal and 30 sec for every ASA Push,for exemple 400 film pushed to 800 will be 3min45 sec, than bleach will be 6min45,3min15 water,6min45 fixer and water again plus stabilizer..this is for regulars films with cinema films i've been developing with only 2min15sec with amazing results.</p>

<p>hi guys..<br> i was making some grain tests from my scanners and enlarger,and decided to share with you guys.<br> i know a lot of you prefer to scan your photos instead of use the enlarger process,i know its not everyone who has a enlarger in home and its a lot easy to use a scanner but one thing is true..the quality of a enlarger is soooooo better than a scanner,maybe a drum scanner...but anyway i made a photo test,here we use cm to measure but i guess is something around 24x60 inches photo and in my enlarger i had the best photo,very low grain great sharpenning and real color,and the other 2 photos was made one with my coolscan V and the other with my minolta 5400..in my opinion the minolta was really close to the enlarger.. what do you guys think?<br> by the way the film used was superia 800.<br>

<p>LOL..yeah i did this too,and i was developing some color films from a wedding...i was in panic but it turns out just fine like you. living and learning :D</p>

<p>unfortunately is sad true in everywhere.here in Brazil,a lot labs went down because of digital and facebook. i still use film and develop my own film and photo as well,and i have no intention to stop,but for sure is bad for some people who depends on a lab to develop their film.</p>

<p>definitely a good news.i love velvia...fuji is not the same that used to be but i believe we always will have at least some film to shoot,and together with kodak,rollei,agfa,ilford,fomapan and others,will complete the film line.</p>

<p>it's not good to mix used chemicals to new,because they might become too strong,thats why we usually need a starter to make the chemicals just right and usually you'll need to replenisher to old with new after each use,well al least its what i do..i use kodak,what chemicals are you using?</p>
