Pulling color neg film


Recommended Posts

I shot a roll of Fuji Reala 120mm through my pinhole. Exposures were 30 seconds

and 1 minute. Had this been black and white, I would have cut my development

time by 25 percent.

Should I have the same thing done to my color film? I will be having it

processed at a lab. There are only a few labs left in Cleveland. Does anyone

send their C41 film out for special processing? So, what do I do?

Thanks,

Joe

The standard developer processing time for C-41 color negative film in C-41 developer is

3.25 minutes. Three and a quarter minutes. Almost all consumer processing of C-41 is

done in automatic machines that do not allow for adjusting the processing time, it is fixed.

If you do C-41 in your home darkroom, then you COULD cut the developer time a teeny

bit, but, as mentioned above, on most C-41 films the exposure latitude is great enough to

allow you to recover highlights from film overexposed by 2 stops.
