- So you want to develop film at home? Well here is a little how to! Please like and share this video if you like or want to start developing film at home. It is very easy and much fun! I hope this inspires some people to start developing film at home.
App: www.digitaltru...
Camera: Olympus Trip 35
Film: Kodak Tri-X 400@400
Developer: Kodak D-76 (1:1) @20C
Stopbath: Amaloco Stop
Fixer: Amaloco Fix
If you are getting water or other spots on your dried film, correct your process as follows: Mix your wetting agent (the last bath here) with a few DROPS in 500 ml of distilled water. Not the amount shown here, which is way too much and may leave a residue on your film. After normal washing, use this solution for at least 30 seconds, agitating all of the time. Pour off and remove the film from the tank. Hang up the film without wiping or otherwise fiddling with it, in a dirt free environment. Let it dry fully. Done. (If owned, take wiping squeege, bend tongs backward until they break; discard in trash.) (If you wipe wet film with fingers, bends fingers backward until they break. Place in splits and disavow from such use.)
wow, very cool !
THAT MUSIC WAS ANNOYING AF
Cheers mate, really helpful
thanks!
thanks!
When you're pouring all the liquids is that in a dark room ? Or can it be anywhere
As soon as the film is in the tank ( Done in total dark ) The pouring of the liquids can be done in day light
Great, video. If I may, what is the name of the app you use on your phone?
@@paulvincent9744 Great if you want to play on your smartphone while developing, but its information is unverified and as a whole contains many errors. Use at your own risk. Try with some film/developer combination using an unimportant film to see how it comes out. Better: go to the website of the film or developer manufacturer and use their developing information.
can i develop 2 rolls at once with this same amount of developer/water?
no you have to double The amounts roughly.
thanks man
@@MrN1c3N1c3 in medium or large format?
@@_ishaan_pandey It depens on your develeping tank, usually on the bottom it says how much liquid is requiered for the used film. ie. 35 = 125ml
120 film = 280ml
Very helpful and interesting made video:) Thanks for upload! A couple of questions: 1) what kind of water do I need to made a D76 1:1-solution? 2) Is simpy running water good enough or do I need demineralized water, which is used to make a D76-stock? 3) How do you prepare the stop-bath? What is this made of? I would be very grateful for some informations. Many thanks in advance :)
sorry for The extremly late reply, yes just regular water is fine. the stop bath is a mixture of water and the chemical usually in a 1:9 solution. I use amaloco stop bath, works just fine!
+MRN1C3N1C3 Raaawr 1:19 is the correct dilution
Answers:
1. Tap water will do unless you have very hard water (lots of dissolved chemicals).
2. Same as (1). I prefer to mix my stock developer with distilled water, since it will be stored for a much longer time, possibly allowing some interaction with mineral naturally dissolved in the hard tap water I have to use.
3. Stop bath is a commercial product, like the developer. You mix some of the stock solution with water to make a working solution. Tap water will do, as there is nothing in the stop bath to chemically interact with the chemical in the product. In nearly all products, stop bath is just a solution of acetic acid in water. You can buy a bottle of acetic acid for about the same price as commercial stop bath.. However the concentrated acetic acid will last you for many years. The commercial product usually has a dye in it which turns from yellow to purple when the stop bath is used up from reuse. I just use mine for a few months and make up a new batch.
