vibin247 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 <p>Yes folks, I goofed. I accidentally exposed the film at ISO 100. I've got HC-100, dil. B and wanted to know if it's possible to develop and get something out of it. I haven't found a relative post in this forum either. Thanks ahead for any replies.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylynn Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 <p>Not that I've actually done it, but my guess would be, <a href="http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/hc110/">based on the info here</a>, that you could use dilution H for 6 minutes at 20C, using a double tank and enough chemistry for 2 rolls.</p> <p>I'm curious to see how this comes out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ventil Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 <p>yeah, keep us updated... my guess would be everything black (white) with only some marginal texture. I think that the Delta3200 has a pretty thin emulsion layer, so the light might have gone through it completely.<br> But according to Ansel Adams and the very basic rules of thumb:<br> <p>Normal development time, plus 100% @ 3 stops DR<br> Normal development time, plus 50% @ 4 stops DR<br> Normal development time only @ 5 stops DR<br> Reduce normal development time by 20% @ 6 stops DR<br> Reduce normal development time by 40% @ 7 stops DR</p> <p>But you will never get the shadows you wanted.<br> Don't kill me people, this works in standard film, standard developer, standard dilution situation. :-) Delta is definitely not a "standard" film, though.</p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>Go with Andrew's advice. You need the more dilute solution to give enough time for consistent, even development, so Dil H should do. The time with Dil B would be much too short, unless you dipped the reel into an open tank pre-filled with developer and processed in the dark.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>I shot a roll by mistake at ISO 400 and I got it down with Rodinal 1-25 6 minutes... MDC says 5.5 You may want to try HC-110 Dilution H at. 5.5-6 min.<br /> http://www.flickr.com/photos/jokerphotography/sets/72157618350042195/</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3613/3543719621_5d0f0d8a5f.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="488" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtk Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 <p>Waste a frame, do a snip test (process 9" ...full width film...after the leader) in whatever highly dilute developer you want...I'd stand process (after initial water soak) Rodinal @ 1:100 for 20 minutes (around 1/2-13 normal). </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibin247 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 <p>Thanks for the responses. I'll do snip tests, but I'm curious about dilution H. According to Andy's linked article, the dilution ratios that are listed are from the syrup concentrate. Could I dilute my stock solution of HC-110 dil. B with a 1:15 ratio for my working solution? I do have some concentrate to work with as well, but I was wondering if my idea would work too. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly_flanigan1 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 <p>Its a iso 800 film; exposed at an EI of 100; ie 3 stops over. It is about the less of a mistake than a 3 stop underexposure situation; ie an EI of 6400. With the later case; one will get shadow details. Just underdevelop some.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
