Polypan F 50-800 ASA

[Teetzelk]

Thanks - on both. I used to be a member here in the very first days but never kept up here.

Has anyone experienced developing PolypanF in Tmax developer? Would 6' at 20°C, agitation every 30" be ok? I tried but I think it lacks detail in shadows.

 

[MartinP]

If there is really absolutely nothing in the shadows on the film then there would need to be an increase in exposure. In imprecise terms, further development would just make the image denser, but won't magically make something appear from nothing.

If you see thin shadows and blocked highlights then further development would be counter productive and a different developer might be used. If both the shadows and highlight areas are thin, then more development could help.

Petronius is the expert with this stuff, though I think I recall he has been using estimated exposures for his Rollei 35/Polypan project.

I usually develop polypan F with Caffenol C-H or Caffenol C-L

Some examples developed with caffenol C-L 75 min. 20ºC. First minute continuous agitation, then ten inversions in minute 15-30-45-60

I use HC-110 dilution H for polypan, and started at 12 min/20C, 5 inversions/min. For EI 50, this works well. I've also gotten surprisingly good results at EI 1600, 28 mins/20C and the same agitation schedule.

I'd like to experiment with making some positives, as the clear base would lend itself highly to that.

I used xtol 1+0 to develop this one: 13 minutes, 3 inversions per minute.

Perhaps this is rather an old-thread, but I'm curious if anyone has any luck pushing this beyond 200 with TMAX Dev? I'm thinking of trying this at 800, 1+4 at 16 minutes, but not sure if that'll be a viable level, or if I should try stand-developing at 1hr or something there-of?

I'm curious, as I don't see any information online about pushing this that far beyond 200ISO with TMAX Dev..

Anybody tried to develop it as a slide?

more images pls. and with exposure (ISO) settings would be great as well!

All shot at EI80, Rodinal 1+50. 14min, 20C, 3 inversions per min.

EI50, Rodinal 1+50. 8min, 20C, 3 inversions per min.

I usually go for 100asa Rodinal 1;50 for 23 mins. Can print at a reasonable grade that way.

Interesting thread, and interesting film. Where does one source it? I like slow films 🙂

I buy mine at Lumiere Shop
They are in the great bay too.

Well I have just finished rolling out a 90m can of Polypan; I got 57 rolls of 36 and one of 12. I roll my films out at about 40 shots too. It worked out at 44p a roll, now I just need spring to go out and shoot the stuff. I am going to buy a few more tins its such a bargain.

Gorgeous...Love what i 'SEE' in this Thread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maddoc: beautiful tones. can i ask what iso did you expose the film at ?

rated as 50ISO !

 

[raytoei@gmail.com]

hi. i finally managed to:

a. roll from the 152m partially into the 100ft bulk loader
b. load some canisters with poly pan f

i am going to shoot a couple of rolls at iso 50, iso 100.
as i am developing this at the shop, i know they use D76.
what time should I tell them to use ? i found from massive charts that panf and polypan f times are comparable...can i use this as a starting point ?

(of coss nothing beats developing it myself, which isnt an option for now unfortunately).
