How To Develop Large Format Film
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 гру 2017
- Spencer Pullen takes you through his process for developing black and white large format sheet film. In this video, you will see every step of the process to mixing the chemicals, developing, stop bath, fixing and washing. Also, this is all done without a darkroom and can be use to develop film from anywhere!
If you missed the first video in the series, where we took the photo of the old gas station, check this video out as well: • Abandoned Gas Station ...

Excellent tutorial!
Thanks so much!
Excellent video. Masterfully informative and graphic teaching. I did enjoy it all the way. Thanks Spencer!
Roberto Gonzalez Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. More to come!
Gracias por enseñar..fenomenal...
Hey Spencer! Love your channel! Thanks so much for putting these together... Haven't taken the plunge yet into large format, but hope to soon!
John Dunnigan Thanks for watching! I’m planning to move into medium format as well! There are so many great options out there for medium and large format. If you have any questions and if I can help, feel free to contact me. Thanks!
Another excellent episode Spencer! And this time also a long one. I've missed the scanned photo at the end. By the way: you can still rescue your bad fixed negative processing it again in the fresh fixer. Try it. It works only with the fixer. I really appreciate your work..
Thanks for watching and the tip, I'll give that a try when it comes up again. You didn't miss the scanning video, I'll be uploading that next week. Thanks!
Hi Spencer, really enjoy your vids and particularly this one . Just about to start developing my own 4x5 Delta 100 and picked up a lot of good info with this ( especially the toothpick....so obvious now !!) keep up the good work ! john
Congrats on starting to develop your 4x5 film! It quite easy once you have done it a couple of times. If you are working with 4x5, you may like the SP-445 Compact 4x5 Film Processing System. My friend has this for his 4x5 and it has worked well. It will do up to four sheets at a time. However, if your going to be pushing or pulling different times on each sheet, this may not work well. The toothpick can be a lifesaver! Thanks for watching!
Great video Spencer!!
Peter Donnan Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Like for the clips :-)
Tried it out - works. Saved me about 40 bucks (there is a similar contraption that costs about 45).
Thanks for taking the time to create these videos. I haven’t processed film in many years, and you’ve helped inspire me to return to film. Just curious if you have looked into using Permawash to cut down on the wash time. I believe B&H will have it. As I recall it cuts wash time down by 90%.
Thanks for watching! Glad to make them. I have not tried Permawash. I have heard of it, but have not used it yet. I'll look into it. Thanks!
I have watched whole video 2 times. cause from next month I'll get my large format 4x5 camera and I hope I can get it right, specially developing process.
Dan Bahrami That’s great! You’ll love large format. And there are lots of folks who are a great resource if you need assistance. Thanks for watching!
"that kinda looks like what we shot" great line.
Thanks for watching! The gas station was a great project, I'll have to go back sometime. I have some videos that I'll be doing with BTZS so we can try it on that. Thanks!
Very informative, loaded with data. Always enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I found a cibachrome -a dye tank in my funds. Is it, in your opinion, par with the cibachrome II that you use? It's a bit different to yours, technically it's more like a large Jobo. Thinking about rigging up a roller stand. Maybe I can find an old remote controlled toy car on a fleemarket and use the wheels and the motor to drive the drum ...
As always, thanks for watching Klaus! I'm not sure what that tank is. I tried looking it up, if you would like to email a photo, I'll check it out. Cibachrome does make a different tank like mine that has s spout sticking out on one side. I have not used this so I can't say if it will work the same. If you are able to fill it and drain it with the caps on, I would say you are in business. Also, if you don't want to mess with the motor base, some have taken a piece of wood and screwed four little wheels on it from the hardware store and spun the base by hand. Great idea on the toy car!
Iirc, coffee filters are lint free. I've seen people use it on car engine assembly. Not too sure about its absorbancy.
Hi Spencer, thanks so much for the content on your channel! Question, have you found the need to reduce development time at all due to the constant agitation? Also, have you ever developed color film using this system? Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! Depending on which developer you use and how fast it works, you may need to deduct some time. I found D76 worked best with this and I used posted times without an issue.
I’ve not shot color so I can’t say one way or another if this would work. I know color chemistry needs to be held at a certain temp. Thanks!
Hello Spencer ,if he can rotate the tank on a correct table,
is it okay too?Thank you very much!
I don’t see why that would be a problem. Thanks!
@@SpencerPullenPhotography many tks!
Curious as to why you process A and B separately. Is it because your solutions are small (150ml) and mixing both A and B into 150 ml will not work? Most mix them together with distilled water into a larger container, at least for 4x5. Did you mention your dilution ratios?
Great questions! I use the “divided” method that Sandy King came up with if your going to be scanning your negatives. It produces a flatter negative. Folks who are going to use an enlarger typically will mix the A and B together to get a more contrasty negative. My dilution ratio I use per Sandy King is 1:1:20. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for watching!
I thought I was the only one using the Unicolor Drum. I love mine...
It’s a great system and it’s very efficient on chemistry. Thanks for watching!
Not quite. I bought my Unicolor roller base and Ciba drums new, not NOS, when I started using Cibachrome in late 1970s. Add the Unicolor film drum and you can do anything that you could with a big Jobo, but for 1/3 the space and less than 1/10th the cost. Add my Vivitar Process Commander to run the whole development process and I have a kit which Jobo can't match for less than $3500 if at all. After a landscape shooting vacation, I can process 6 -35mm or 3 120 rolls of E-6 or C-41 at a time in about 40 minutes. I stopped using this system for my B&W; it would be okay for large format, but not optimum for 35mm or 120 B&W, IMO.
Randall Stewart This has worked well for me since I process one sheet at a time. Appreciate you watching!
Man, let me give you a big help on film washing and save some money. Use your household SALTwater to wash your film. The salt in the water much improves the chemical exchange whereby the fixer is washed from the film. The US Navy discovered this during WWII when processing film on ships using seawater. Kodak's film Washing Aid (still made??) is/was just sodium sulfite (a salt) which you mixed in water for a good film soak before regular washing. After washing, finish with Photoflo or similar mixed in distilled water for a few minutes, and done. Superior wash; no cost.
That is a great tip, appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
