^So how long did that take to develop at room temp ?
Hi Peter,
The process, which others had posted elsewhere in other fora, was as follows:
* Pre-wash at 20C for three minutes.
* Developer in, normal working strength, invert continuously for 1 minute then stand for forty five minutes.
* Rinse continuously under the tap for three minutes (20C). changing the water every 30 secs.
* Blix in, normal working strength, invert continuously for 1 minute then stand for 1 hour.
* Rinse 'the Ilford way' - 5 inversions, flush; ten inversions, flush; twenty inversions, flush.
* Stabiliser in, no agitation, 1 minute.
* Hang and dry.
So the whole process takes around two hours. I suppose a ten-minute tap-rinse would work instead of the Ilford method, but would take longer and use more water. I'm on the 5th - 8th timings for Tetenal instructions, having done several films at 30C or 38C, but don't know how the degradation of chemicals affects stand development. I've also had the chemistry sitting around (stoppered bottles, full to brim in darkness) for about four months, so this might affect things too.
