Adoc CHS 25 and Tetenal Blue

[_larky]

Hello.

I still have some Adoc 25 to soup from 3 years ago, because the instructions that came in the box were useless and the very kind PM I got on this forum explaining the dev times has been lost.

I will soup 2 at a time, 560ml required in my tank to cover both reels. I think the instructions said use the bottle and add water until you have 500ml, then dev for n minutes. I can't find n and am struggling to find out what adding 150ml of extra water would do.

Can anyone help?

I found one thread from an old forum which stated a time in 500ml (30ml vile plus water) to be 7 minutes. So with a compensation of 1.3 to get it to 650ml of liquid I get 9.1 minutes.

Think that would work? I'll try it I guess!

Here is the link to Tetenals Delvelopment time recommondations, unfortunatly they do not mention ADOX-films..

And ADOX links on their website to the Massive devchart, which does not offer times for Tetenal blue..

Ok, thanks for clearification, just oversaw that the official name is Tetenal Neofin Blue.

These are for stock solution though, which is for 30ml of Tetanal with 470ml of water. I need 620ml of water. Should I just guess?

I'm going to try this later today, I'll post results. I'm going to go with my guess of 30ml dev with 620ml water, process for 9.1 minutes. I'll use water for stop and whichever stop I find in the cupboard 🙂

Sorry, I'm late...

 

[_larky]

Ahh, so if I use one vial and up it to 700ml total, I'll have a time of 9.1 minutes. Perfect, thank you 🙂

It worked 🙂 30ml bottle of dev, 670ml of water. 9.5 minutes I think I got to. Then the standard stop in water (I'm lazy) and fix with Agfa Fix for 7 minutes at 1/5. Then washed for a bit, until I got bored.

You can tell my technique is sloppy.

I'm so happy I ordered the scanner.

 

[haempe]

It worked...

Good to hear!

 

[_larky]

Actually, scanner order placed on hold. Thank god for calm down times 🙂 Need advice... will post a new thread.

 

[_larky]

Scanner fully ordered now. Went mad and bought one twice the price I was gonna. Damn it!

Looking at the negs, the numbers are a little light, but I have some dark edges to the negs. I think I would, with the same dilution, run to 10-11 minutes in the dev.

One thing about CHS films, they are very easily scratched when wet, incredibly fragile.
