Both are Ilford Delta 3200 exposed EI 1000. Developing at 62 degrees with extra salt and letting the development run to 120 minutes with 15-minute agitations after fifteen minutes, plus continuous agitation for thirty seconds at the beginning and an extra agitation set at 7:30 into the process.
Caffenol C-L: mixed only 500mL, from 8g washing soda, 5g ascorbic acid powder, 15g iodized table salt, 20g Nescafe Taster’s Choice instant coffee, in that order, dissolving each completely before adding the next. Prewet in tap water at ~62 degrees for ~30 minutes, then poured out water and poured in developer. Cooled all chemicals to 62 degrees in a water bath in the cooler, adding ice periodically. Actual temperature in the cooler varied from 61 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, though it spent much more time slightly above than slightly below 62 degrees.
Agitated gently 20x over first 30 seconds, then put into picnic cooler with cool water. Agitated 15x over 30 seconds at 7:30 in. Agitated gently 10x at 15 minutes in, then every fifteen minutes thereafter, alternating which end is up, and always knocking on the bottom to dislodge air bubbles, and always putting it back into the picnic cooler. Let develop for a total of 120 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 (that’s now 23 rolls from this 1.5L batch of fixer, 7 since replenishment), agitating 10x every minute for seven minutes. Reclaimed fixer, then rinsed 10 minutes in ~78 degree water. Added a small amount of Photo-Flo to the water in the tank, agitated for thirty seconds, dumped water. Shook reels, then hung the negatives horizontally to dry.
