Second video! Still getting used to the camera XD hope you like this video and have learned a thing or two! As always if you have any questions I am here to answer! I will be releasing two more videos across the next few days! So stay tuned!
d96 is a monobath, and as such, it is very sensitive to processing temperature. The two month open life and 16 roll limits are serious, not as flexible as implied here. As additional rolls are processed, extra time for development must be added - 15 seconds for each additional roll processed. Also, the ability to process all types of film at the same time/temp is greatly overstated. Check the Cinestill website for detailed processing instruction (variations) for each brand of film in insure quality results.
@randall stewart: thanks for the reminder! I understand about adding 15 seconds for each individual roll, but how should I calculate processing time for two rolls in the same tank. I know the temperature matters too, but just as an example: I process the very first roll individually at 3 min. Then Roll #2 would be 3 min, 15 sec + Roll #3 @ 3 min, 30 sec (this is if I develop them individually). But if I put Roll 2 & 3 together at the same time in the same tank, should I develop for 3:15? Or for 3:30?
@@decisive.moment1634 I think that you splitting the hairs a bit too fine. Process the first (one) roll at the starting time/temp. If you then do a second single roll, add the 15 seconds as directed. If you do two rolls in the second process, still just use the time/temp as for a single 2nd roll: 3:15. However, you have now done a total of three rolls, so you would add three times 15 seconds for the third processing run: 3:45 sec. Actually, these are minimum processing times. The monobath process runs to chemical completion, meaning until there is nothing left to process, so if for later runs you were to use more time than normally calculated, you would see no adverse effects. Just do not process for less than the recommended time. These directions are for a "standard" 35mm (36 exp.) roll or one 120 roll. If you regularly do odd lengths of 35mm film taken from bulk loading, You'd IMO be wise to keep a record charting actual usage, to use a time which is at least 10% longer than calculated to avoid any chance of under-processing.

Awesome tutorial, covering some of the important tips often missed by many! Almost have inspired me to develop my own BnW during quarantine.
Thanks James! Really appreciate the kind words! You should try it out! Let me know if you have any questions if you are developing!
Dude this looks so easy! Super cool man!
thanks dude! Hopefully this helped! Let me know if you have any questions!
Why specifically a patterson tank? Doesnt a Jobo or some other work?
Love this!
Thank you Elizabeth! Really appreciate it! 😀

@@randallstewart175 thanks so much for the detailed response. That helps a ton!
Great tutorial. Still gonna come have you teach me in person tho 😂😂
Of course dude! Always down to help teach! Just let me know when! :)
You have to find a better structure to your tutorials. This is SO all over the place it’s very hard to keep track
