Rolls 1115 and 1116: Ilford FP4+ @ EI 125 / Ilford PanF+ @ EI 50 // Caffenol CL semi-stand
- 1116: Mt. Evans. Denver. (FP4+)
- 1115: Mt. Evans. (PanF+)
One roll of PanF+, one roll of FP4+. Both exposed in the K1000.
Used the other half of the Caffenol C-L from batches 1113/1114: that’s 8g waterfree washing soda, 5g Vitamin C, 7.5g iodized table salt, and 20g instant coffee (Kroger) in this 500mL. Pre-wet for ~5 minutes while beginning to type up these notes. All chemistry is at 75 degrees today: that’s the lowest I can get the water in the middle of summer here! Oh well, stand development is supposed to be tolerant, right?
Poured out pre-wetting water, then poured developer into tank and started timer for 70 minutes. Agitated gently 20x over first 30 seconds, then let stand at edge of sink. Agitated 15x over 30 seconds at 7:30 in. Agitated gently 10x at 15 minutes in, then every fifteen minutes thereafter, alternating each time which end tank rested on, and always knocking on the bottom to dislodge air bubbles..
Rinsed ~5 minutes in tap water at ~75 degrees, emptying container entirely multiple times. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 (that’s now 6 rolls from this batch of fixer), agitating 10x every minute for seven minutes. Reclaimed fixer, then rinsed 10 minutes in 75 degree water. Then remembered that I had Photo-Flo, so I poured a very small amount into the water in the tank, agitated for thirty seconds, dumped water. Shook reels, then hung the negatives horizontally to dry.
Roll 1116 is quite gorgeous in places, though metering was complex in places. Development was good, but several shots were spoiled when the back of the camera was opened before the roll was rewound. (Sigh. I’m trying to remember to rewind as soon as the roll is exhausted, but that seems to be a hard habit to recover.)
