How do you do it?

[wdenies]

Some people are able to process a complete 35mm roll (36 exp) in one evening.
When working hard (9AM-10PM), my max. throughput is around 5 pictures a day.
Something wrong with my workflow?

do you mean develop, or print?

You can print a roll worth of proofs in one evening, just don't expect it to be exhibition quality.

One way is to divide all negs into overexposed, corretly exposed and underexposed, determine apporximate exposure for each category, print each category in batch and develop in batch.

developing a 35mm roll in one evening is a piece of cake.

printing all the frames from it in one evening on the other hand... but that has never been a problem for me. Of a entire roll, I'm happy if one or two frames are worth printing 😛

Maybe we're talking about contact printing? 😉

Make a contact print so you know how to adjust exposures. Print 6 to 10 and then process them all at one time. Put one in the developer every 10 sec and agitate thru the stack for the developing time. Then remove 1 every 10 sec.

You need to precut the paper and keep exposed and unexposed face down in two separate stacks. Use a paper safe until you get experience.

That is all that is wrong with your workflow.

Use 120 film and 6x9, then your "roll" means 8 frames only. With 5 done, you are getting closer to the full roll per day🙂
