stand development: pros and cons

[wupdigoj]

About the amount of developer, I use 2 ml of rodinal (actually fomadon R09) plus 260 ml of water for a 36 exp of tmax 100 in a jobo tank. No problem with this, but YMMV.

My first attempt at stand development using Rodinal.

I have two rolls of Tmax 100 I accidently shot at 400. I shot these rolls last April and forgot about them so I figured I'd use them as test subjects. Both rolls are in a tank with 700ml of developer. 30 sec agitation.

How long should these rolls stay in the tank? Agitate more?

Appreciate any suggestions if they come quickly 🙂

135mn (60X1.5X1.5), agitate slowly first minute, one inversion every 30mn after.

I have found T grain films resilient to all halos and streak issues mentioned above (I've been using Acros lately).

Thank you!

Frank, I've posted a long time ago on Rodinal 1 hr stands.. it's in RFF somewhere. Bromide drag can be an issue so I leave the bottom spool of the tank in place to reduce that risk.

Because I believe a lot of developing is "voodoo" in the most positive way, I'm not using the "One Hour Stand" as much though I continue to use it and I still like it. Currently I'm using HC110 (I'm not smart enough to develop this process on my own it's someone else's that I've modified slightly)
____________________________

"Famous Photographer.. insert name here..___ ___" HC110 dilution G (syrup 1:120) as a compensating developer to increase shadow detail without blocking highlights.

Developing time, for Tri-X, is about 18 minutes at 68°F (20°C), with continuous agitation for the first minute and subsequent gentle agitation for 15 seconds every 3 minutes.

For development of the shadows, agitate slowly do not agitate vigorously.

the Honest Ed's shot is 1 hr stand w Rodinal; the barber chair is the HC110 process.

I'm sold. Almost 1 year old un-developed film. No temp control. No precise timing. Only regret--used my fingers as a squeegee--I never do that. I was in a hurry to see results. Over all I'd say I'm pleased with the results. Two more rolls to try tomorrow. A few "keepers". Shot with M3 and DR cron. Tmax 100 @ 400.
