<p>Hello Peers, <br /><br />Clarke here again. <br /><br />SO! <br /><br />I re-fixed some negatives and....... no luck. <br />Recovered nothing (now I have 30 some odd negative strips of 5 hanging in my darkroom)<br />I think I should be able to salvage them (at least some are printable, even though completely grey and foggy) I'm sure if I throw a +5 filter I can pass off the over contrasted, grey flat negative as "artistic".<br>
<br /><br />But I'm grateful for the help and tips. <br />So thank you guys now I know the trick for the clearing time. Also never knew about the Tmax and Delta films. I don't shoot Tmax I actually hate the look of it. But from time to time I shoot delta 3200 at 3200,6400 or 12500. <br>
<br />I've never been very good at organizing (I sniff my fixer to see if it smells like salt and vinegar chips and if it does then well... I continue to use it)<br /><br />Hahaha well it worked for a while now I guess I'm facing the consequences of poor lab maintenance and organizational skills. <br /><br />One last question, I assume it has nothing to do with the negative problems but I may as well ask anyways. I push all my film, I never ever shoot my film at box speed. I guess I Just like the look of most films pushed. SO neopan 400 I usually shoot at 800 or 1600. Tri x I shoot Winogrand speed ( 1250 ) haha BUT will me pushing my films be something that may have contributed to this problem? <br /><br />Looking over the same negatives that I developed in this particular batch (I just throw eight rolls of 100-800 iso films into the Paterson Multi Reel 8 tank and develop for about an hour with Rodinal 1:100) <br />The "foggy" negatives were the Neopan NOT the Orwo n74.. (which was shot at 400 by my brother not me) Makes me wonder, why the Neopan came out foggy and the Orwo N74 clear? <br /><br /><br /><br />Wow I as I type this out I sound more and more unorganized and pathetic ha! <br />( I will stop sniffing my fixer now )<br />Okay well in closing thanks for all of your help and advice. <br /><br />Regards <br /><br />Clarke <br /><br /> </p><div></div>
