[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I used the famous SIMMARD drum, the smallest one, that can take 2 4X5 sheets. Simply follow the continious developping tabels. I used mostly Rodinal from Agfa and D-76 from Kodak (Ilford's ID-11). If you find no such tabels make a first test reducing normal develloping time by 20%. Fixing with a fresh solution would take not more than 5 minutes. Rince 30 min as usual if the water is not too cold. Don't forget that Rodinal (still being made "somewhere") hates t? below 20?C. And under 18?C it's almost useless. This systhem with 4X5 inch sheets is wonderfill if you want to make copies from 35mm or 6X6 neg or diapositives with an enlarger.
