Every one in this forum you all want to process in Xtol/Rodinal, why you don't try TMAX chemical for Tmax/Tri-X-pan. Is Tmax costly then any other chemicals? What I do - for 1 roll( Tmax 58ml + 242ml water = 300ml)at 26 degree C. Agitation every 30 seconds. Time 4 minutes 30 seconds.Before processing I wash the film with fresh water at 26 degree C.

May be there are some problems in the chemicals, storage is the first priority of the chemicals. Why you don't try KODAK D-76, and in Fixer

you can make it by Hypo crystal 300gm for 1000 ml with 35gm Sodium metabie sulphite (Hypo 300gm+water 970ml +Meta:sulphite 35gm = 1000)

this is working solution.

well why don't KODAK D-76 for Delta 400. 75ml chemical + 225ml water

in 26 degree C, you can process it in 14 minutes. Agitation is 8 times

per minute in one roll and 4 times for 2/more.If you expose in push EI 800/1600 you can process it in 20% more time then your normal 400.

Similar too in pull process.The time will go down 20%.

You did't mansion which film you have exposed. In my experience I increase/decrease 20% for every push/pull process. As an example if I expose TMAX 400 into 100 iso I will make a pull process of 20%. My TMAX 400 is 5 minutes 10 second at 26 degree C . When I expose 400 into 100 iso my developing time is 4 minutes 8 seconds in TMAX developer at 26 degree. Every film is washed at normal water at 26 degree because the temperature will be the same. Agitation will be every 30 seconds.

Hope you will find you answer.

Hi,

 

<p>

 

I use Tmax chemical for TMAX films. For 120 format I take 100ml chemical + 400ml water. Develope time is 5 minutes 10 seconds in 26 degree Celcius.Before starting developer wash the film with normal filtered water which is 26 degree celcius.

 

<p>

 

I don't think you don't have to worry about temperature when you print,for muligrade paper 2 minutes in 1:2 diluted chemical in ilford bromophen paper developer.

 

<p>

 

I don't know about The "Photographers Formulary" in Montana packages alternate developers for TMAX films.

Michael,

 

<p>

 

You did't say you have any photography course or taking photos-------.

Photogrphy is a big area.I what category you want to choose you have to know by yourself. If you feel free in photo journalisum ok, but you

have to prepare yourself.You have take photos more and more,consult with sinior photographers,read books,visit photographic exhibitions.

 

<p>

 

So at last I have to say you "know thyself".Be sure what you will do,

otherwise you will be frustated.Please mail me what you are going to do.

with best wishes.

Hello,

 

<p>

 

Can anyone say what is D-MAX of kodak. I know only TMAX camichel.

Another thing- is ID-11 is stronger then D-76.Because I have processed

ID-11 in same ratio of D-76- it was over developed.

 

<p>

 

Thank You

Hello,

 

<p>

 

I know some people in European & western photographers use infrared film.The temperature is cool not harm for infra radiation. In Bangladesh - it is humidity country.Temperature rises 68 degree F.

Some people try to use this infrared film. I also processed it in HC110 developer 6 minutes in 24 degree C. But it is foggy.Can any one

give me a time temperature for infrared 35mm film. I visited kodek infrared web site -it gives a clear vision how to expose the film with

filter.But there processing chart is not clear to me.

Larry Sandt,

Good eveningI processed TMAX 400 in JOBO ATL 1000. It is fine result. I process every film from water temperature to camichel in 26 degree C .The time is 5 minute + 5% for TMAX 400. I don't know actually in what temperature you process film,I use to process in 26 degree all the year,because it is easy,can remember time and do it smothly.

 

<p>

 

Let me know if you do process in 26 degree C.Please mail me if you get my mail.And one request visit our web site, you will know about us-and how is that.

 

<p>

 

Thank You

Hello Bart,

 

<p>

 

I agree with every body. Before starting processing I always use a Fuji Neopan ss lead for fixer test. Take some fixer in a film container put the lead- shake for 30 seconds and watch. If the lead is clear then you are sure that your fixer is ok. Give me a mail if your

problem is solved.

 

<p>

 

Thank You

Hi,holly. I think you asking for speacial effect printing in black & white. Go to your near photo dealer ask kodak screen printing effect filter.It contents 12 different kinds of effects.

 

<p>

 

I can give you another idea. Why don't you take pictures (leaves,textures of trees,clothes,designed metals )your self.

 

<p>

 

Thank You

I think you are asking liquid bleech in b&w photography. Make potasium fericyanide 25gm in 1000 cc normal water,then mix hypo 300gm in the solution -this is your stock solution. When you use take 1:2(camichel+water).This you can use in sepia toning. If your B&W prints in some area is dark you can bleach it - take a tea spun potasium fericyanide in 50ml water then give a tea spun hypo in it- mix it,then use cotton to bleach the darken area.

 

<p>

 

For film bleaching use kodak recomendad film intensifier.

I will be a good idea who wants to contest their photos with other

photographers- but it will be a disadvantage if you claim a entry

fee.Don't take it other way, I am telling it because many photographers of the third world countries dont have enough money

to perticipate with entry fees.From Bangladesh I can asure you a big

perticipation.Bangladeshi photographers looks some points-:

(3)Prizes can be send by post or embassy.

Hellow,

While processing TMAX 400 film in D-76 there is some small brown spots in the exposed area. But there is no problems when processing

in TMAX developer.This problem dosen"t shows to any films (Neopan ss,

Ilford HP5 etc).Please kindly inform me the solution.

 

<p>

 

Note: I use fresh chemicals,always clean developing tanks,spulls,fresh

water.I always maintain 26 degree Farenhait,the processing time of

TMAX 400 in D-76 is 14 minutes.
