casey_c Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I can't seem to find any information to push color film, maybe 1-2 stops using the C41 Unicolor kit. I know that pushing color film isn't recommended but it's still something that I do occasionally. Anyone know what the times would be? also, I develop at the suggested temperature at 102 degrees. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 As I indicated in a recent thread (LINK), pushing or pulling in color negative developing is not so much "not recommended" but rather more "not necessary" since adjustments in printing can 'correct' the print-- usually withing a broad latitude of 2 or more under- and over-exposure. Chromogenic [LINK} films are very flexible, especially Ilford's wonderful XP-2 chromogenic b&w film 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James G. Dainis Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I understand that many labs "push" by developing the film normally and then just giving extra print exposure. James G. Dainis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Luttmann Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Ilford XP2 Super is fine with standard processing from 50 to 800. At 1600 and 3200, it benefits from a one stop push. I can't remember if a one stop push is an additional 15 seconds or 30 seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I’m assuming each stop- just add 30 seconds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to Vegas next week for work and wanted to shoot some on the strip at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked my notes. Standard C41 kit is 3:30. The Fuji Hunt was 3:15. Extra 30 seconds per stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Luttmann Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I don't think it matters. The timing is from my lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
