First film developed completely independently with the experience of an observer once a year ago. I was terribly afraid to load the film into the tank, I was afraid to get tangled in the process.. but everything worked out. Test film from my first youth camera🥰

I still have a lot to learn about developing. If anyone can tell me what the "dirty" looking sky is from, I would love to hear some ideas. I'm guessing watermarks maybe?

A black and white photograph of a woman in a jacket walking her small dog in the middle of an open field. Winter trees are seen in the background. The woman and dog are silhouetted from the background making them look like they are in shadow.

So far so good, one roll done, three more to go!
That was Fomapan 200 in Rodinal 1+50, 7min at 22.5°C.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography #developingfilm

Negative black and white photo on a roll of Fomapan 200 film. It's still drying, water droplets are visible. The photo on the film shows a landscape, a road, a meadow and a forest in the background.
Taken with Pentax MZ-5 and probably Visina 19-35mm lens.

APX100 needs 10 min, Fomapan 200 needs 9 min, Silberra 160 is done in 17 min and Rollei Retro 80 in 14 min, all in Rodinal 1+50. No two times are the same, each one must go alone. 😑

I have to stop procrastinating, let's go with Fomapan first.

#believeinfilm #developingfilm

Four rolls of black and white film (left to right): AgfaPhoto APX 400 canister with a few notes written with black marker, Silberra Pan160, AgfaPhoto APX 100 and Fomapan 200.

Ok, I have a roll of film to develop, so let's do a live-developing thread!
The film is already loaded, it's a custom, short roll of AgfaPhoto APX400; I'll be using Rodinal 1+50 at 22°C to speed up the process a bit and get more acutance.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography #developingfilm

Film developing stuff - two amber bottles containing the fixer and the stop bath, a developing tank, a plastic bottle with Adonal developer and the camera used to take the photos - black Pentax MV with Pentax-M 40mm F2.8 pancake lens.

A single roll of film won't fully exhaust the developer (at least if it's not something like Rodinal 1+100!), there's quite enough to develop at least one additional roll, or even more.

I know this technique I described in there might be a little controversial, but hey, it works - I've been reusing one-shot developers, diluted Xtol and FX-39, with good results.

Old, dilapidated house partially hidden behind a few trees, all on the edge of a small lake, reflecting in a perfectly still lake surface. Black & white photo taken on a film.

Quick repair on my Jobo CPA2. The motor switch on this one was broken before I even bought it. Motor wouldn't turn off and the speeds were off. Finally switched it out today. Original parts are not to be had anymore so I had to mount the poti to the lid of the unit.
Now it's up and running again...
