XP2 in Diafine

[MPerson]

I have read about doing it and most of the examples I have seen were iffy/OK. Decided to try myself - each bath for 5 mins, water stop and alkaline fix 6 mins.


MP | Cron 35 ASPH | XP2 Super @ 400 | Diafine 5 + 5 | Coolscan

100% crop

I plan on testing some more. Method and a couple more examples.

C41 monochrome in Diafine ? Wow ! I will give that a try, looks very good on my monitor.

I use rodinal 1:100, had some good resaults! Will try with diafine! Like the light and shadows in the pic!

Also try ID11/D76 for 18 minutes, 1:1, 20 degrees, normal agitation (every minute, as I recall).

This came from one of the technical guys at Ilford! It worked well, although I think the C41 process has the edge. Something to experiment with, though.

I also did not know one could develop a C-41 chromogenic film with B&W chems. When you do this and then scan, can you still use ICE to remove any dust or scratches? This is the primary reason I usually go with XP2 over a traditional B&W like Tri-X or FP4.

Anyone tried D-76? I have some of this on hand, as well as an unused roll of XP2.

na.. its just like silver, id11 two 12-min at 21, it could have benefited from a bit more exposure
