stijnterpstra Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I shot a rol of Gevapan 33 from 1967. I shot it at 100 iso and planned to push it when developing. I read online that the original developing time was 10 mins with D76. Should I push it to 20 mins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Likely this film will have a high amount of fog. D76 might not be the best choice. Kodak's HC110 and Ilford's Microphen might show less fog. Also processing at a lower temperature (65 degrees vs 68 degrees might help). If all you have as D76 by all means do give it a try. Increasing time to 20' might increase the fog more than image.

glen_h Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 As well as I know, the original ASA is close to 100, maybe 125, so 100 should be about right. At some point, overdeveloping develops fog as fast or faster than image. A little more might be fine, but 20 minutes sounds like a lot. Maybe 12 isn't so much, though, but I probably would do the recommended 10. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_farmer Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm going to suggest 12 to 15 minutes. More than about 20% has the possibility to add to your problems, not limit them. Depending on the subject that you shot, a clip test might be in order. Cut what should be one or two frames from the roll, process and fix that. Use what you get there to determine your next move. I don't recall ever SHOOTING old film but I have developed a lot of it found in used cameras over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
