This is just a bit of information for anyone thinking of developing T-Max 400 or Tri-X 400 in Fuji Super Prodol Developer.

I found myself with only Fuji Super Prodol to develop the Kodak films. I figured I would check the digitaltruth website for infomation, but no information was available. I figured I was SOL, but decided to take a chance anyway. I figure if you can devleop Fuji Neopan 400 in Kodak T-Max Developer why not the reverse.

Anyway, I looked at the development times for Neopan 400 in Super Prodol and T-Max developer. Neopan 400 in Super Prodol at 20 C is 7 minutes and in T-Max developer 6 minutes. T-Max 400 in T-Max developer at 20 C is 6 minutes, so I decided since Neopan and T-Max have the same development times in T-Max devloper that I would develop the T-Max the same as Neopan in Super Prodol. The end results were great. In fact, I like the negatives and photos better in Super Prodol than in T-Max Developer.

Here it is concisely

T-Max 400 in Fuji Super Prodol at 20 C for 7 minutes
Tri-X 400 in Fuji Super Prdola at 20 C for 8 minutes 15 seconds.

If I developed at higher tempertures I would make the corresponding time changes.

Here is a link to the photos I developed. You will have to scroll down to my enter dated 1 day ago or Sept 20th 2011.

That is Excellent news, Mike. I myself have two 2 Liter packets, and two 5 Liter packets, of Super Prodol. Looking forward to using it with my Eastman XX, Tri-X, and 400 & 1600 Fuji Presto.

Did they by any chance make a replenisher for it?

Anybody know? 🙄

Three more in Tri-X in Super Prodol.

BTW the light leaks on the right side are my fault. I did not tighten the film tight enough, so a light leak occurred after I took the film out of film back!
