I take it Caffenol gets no respect around here. Seems to work pretty good.

Now did your negatives turn out with a tint?
I'm all for Caffenol and was considering playing with it when I get the time.
Awesome results btw

Corey, my neg came out looking like they would have had I done them in the normal way . They scanned and looked like any other B&W negs . I use a Coolscan V. , was very easy . Coffee cheap stuff $2.99 8oz , Arm & Hammer super washing soda $3.29 55oz, Vitamin C crystals GNC 160z $29.00
I think the tint comes from when you wet print using caffenol as a paper dev and or the red wine recipe.

Thanks for the info Tom, been looking for organic ways to develop since my mom hates film chemicals (No developing in the house ect....).
Best part is - my dad's a mechanic and what he has in the garage is worse
He supports it, as he used to do the same with his Nikon F3.
I will be doing some more research!

Excellent photos, Tom. I've not had much luck with Caffenol yet. Very thin negs, but the water temp turned out to be all out of whack.

Those are nice photos, Tom. Caffenol has been on my list to try for some time, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Larry I had thin negs too, then increased dev time another min and they got better. the first roll I did had very dense negs .
Using the delta std formula http://www.caffenol.org/2010/03/12/the-delta-recipe/
7min thin negs , 8min good negs, 9min dense negs . this is with ektar 100. 9 min with Tmax 400 worked good.

Tom, you said "ektar 100" above. Are you referring to the color negative film?

Respect. You gotta be pleased with this on first attempt.
Nice little self portrait on the nose cone also.

Yes all color film turns into b&w I could not find a specific recipe for extar but through dev. ten frams at a time I found out that the delta formula works good at 8 min . Constant inversions for the first 30 sec then 4 inv, every min afterwords, stop bath with water then fix as normal. The same recipe also works well with TMax.

Here are a few more from the ektar. I shot it at 50 iso Another member said the pics look like they were shot with a blue filter because it darkened the reds. I have never used any filters so never really noticed the change .

Anyone knows how long you can keep caffenol in a brown glass bottle not exposed to sun?

From what I have read it doesn't keep , not even a week . It a one time use it that day kind of thing. But I could be wrong.

Do you still end up with an orange mask for color neg film processed in caffenol? Does your scanner remove that, or are you removing it in post processing?
