    AGFAPAN 1000 Any experience/insight???

    in Black & White Practice

    Posted

    What temperature do you usually use for stand? Normal is 68F so I thought 45F was cold, but I have

    still never done stand, at any temperature. Maybe some are down to 40F.

     

    Developers are Arrhenius, so you can convert time/temperature over a wide enough range.

    (Below gelatin melting temperature.)

     

    For more people using old film, see: Vintage Film Shooters

     

    Development at 68F/20C has been the favorite for many years now, but back to the early days

    of gelatin photography, maybe through the 1920's, it was colder than that, maybe 50F.

     

    Ahh - sorry - that was me reading fahrenheit as centigrade! My mistake. Thanks for the tip about the vintage film shooters site - I'll have a look - I have just shot a roll of what looks like really old Tri-X - and don't imagine it will process in the same way as new Tri-X for which I always use Rodinal.

    Thanks. Maybe I'll see if I can get some Diafine, but Rodinal is all I have, and someone gave me a load of old films so one of my students shot the film and I just thought we'd give it a go. I read the post above from lol 1 in 2005 where he mentions having developed the film in Rodinal and hence my question. But one thing I don't quite get - you say cold stand development and then what looks like a high temperature, or am I misunderstanding something?

    Daniel: I'm going to upload a photo taken on Agfapan 1000.<p><p>A few comments:

    <UL>

    <LI>The negs are extremely flat and somewhat lacking in shadow detail even though they seem to be fully developed (the frame numbering looks fine)

    <LI>The fog is not as great as I originally remembered -- certainly less than Kodak Recording Film

    <LI>The film was almost certainly rated at 1000 ASA and shot on a Minolta SRT101 using TTL metering and most likely developed in Agfa Rodinal

    </UL>

    <P>I would suggest that you rate your film very conservatively!

    Hi,

    Does anyone know how long to process Agfapan 1000 in Rodinal? I can't find any info anywhere and would be really grateful for help with this. Thanks
