Which recipe for Legacy Pro 400?

[dave lackey]

Okay, so while I am collecting the rest of my stuff, I will take a couple of rolls to my buddy's shop and get him to walk me through developing two rolls of Legacy Pro that have been sitting for months whilst in resident at the hospital(s).

Can someone give me a good recipe for this particular film?😀

It's Neopan 400, Dave.

Okay, so we can just look up Neopan 400 in the book for developing? Any favorite developer? :angel:

Well, I've used Rodinal (as for most everything else until recently). Not bad, but might be too grainy for you. For example, Rodinal 1:100, 20 degrees C, 20min, agitate for the first 30's and then softly every 2 minutes. Gets you something like this:

Indoors:

Daylight:

The film has great dark tones and blacks, IMO.

Yep, choose your developer and go for it. I use Fujifilm Super Prodol because its readily available locally.

Dave if you are just in your beginning stages with home processing b&w I strongly suggest you get some D-76. You can't go wrong with D-76. You are going to get alot of different suggestions & you wont know what to use.

I just souped a roll of Delta 100 in Perceptol 1+1 75deg. @ 12 mins. Looks good hanging in my bathroom. Perceptol, made by Ilford is IMO the best fine grain developer out there. But probably not what you wish to use.

HC-110 is also a good one shot developer & probably the most inexpensive to use & last a lifetime.

Xtol 1+1 or HC-110 Dil B

Okay, Wing's has Kodak D-76, Kodak Fixer, and Dektol...

Help me out with the recipe!!! Will pick these up mid-week.🙂
