Well that was interesting - I wanted to experiment with room temperature C-41 development. So, Fuji Superia 400 at box speed, colour developer freshly made and diluted 1+9, 20ºC, 45 minutes semistand, blix at 20ºC for 6.5 minutes, stabiliser for 1 minute also at 20ºC. The negatives are fairly green, and when scanned look like the Lomo purple film. I cannot scan them with the X1 and get decent colours, but if I go through the whole scan the film base and lock it in Vuescan using the Nikon 9000, then scan as raw and use the ColorPerfect plug-in in PS I get useable pictures! The first few frames off the spiral (on the outside of the spiral) have sprocket hole surge marks, but the inner frames do not.

And to show the surge marks:

So next time I need a bit more agitation, and I think I need more development to reduce to colour cast. I could try for an hour instead of 45 minutes, and if that doesn't do it, I guess I will start altering the developer dilution to 1+8, 1+7 etc.

I tried again today with 20ºC C-41 development. This time I used 1+5 dilution of the colour developer (50ml of CD and 250ml water in a Paterson 35mm tank) for 50 minutes. I solved the surge marks from the sprocket holes that I got yesterday by using the swizzle stick for rotary agitation - 30 seconds every ten minutes. Followed with 6.5 minutes of blix at 20ºC and stabiliser. The negatives look a bit more like a normally developed film, but on scanning they still have a strong purple tint rather than the usual blue. Raw scans and inversion in ColorPerfect gets the colours just about spot on. Only very slight tweaks to colour temperature and tint were needed.

I make no claims for the subjects; I simply needed to expose the film to play with the developing! And it's -10ºC outside, so I didn't care to go out more than I had to.
So it seems like a workable method, but with pouring, diluting, 50 minutes of development and agitating every ten minutes, it tied me to the kitchen sink for about an hour and a half. Now this isn't quicker than heating the solutions in a water bath followed by the standard quick development, and at least I can go and do something else while the solutions warm up. Standard development also means I can scan with the X1 (which is quick) and get good colours. These need the magic of ColorPerfect, which means slow raw scans on the Nikon. I'll probably go back to 39ºC development, but it was fun to experiment.

These weren't taken with an M (yesterday's were), but it makes sense for them to be here.
