Taking another shot at developing E-6 in B/W chemistry because apparently I’m too stubborn to learn from experience. I’m using Rodinal this time, though, not Caffenol, since the last roll of E-6 in Caffenol was uninspiring. There’s a roll of Kodak TMax 100 in the other reel in the canister, too.

Mixed 6.5mL Rodinal into ~400mL water. Pre-wet film ~2 hours at 70 degrees, changing water every few minutes until it was clear. Poured out water, then poured in developer, and topped off with tap water to ~500mL; agitated 40x over 60 seconds, then 10x over 15 seconds at 30:00, to a total developing time of 60 minutes.

After 60 minutes, disposed of developer, rinsed in 68 degree water, filling, agitating, and emptying, with 5, 10, and 20 agitations after filling. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 for 6 minutes (that’s now 21 rolls from this batch of fixer), turning 10x over 15 seconds at the top of every minute. Recaptured fixer and rinsed for ten minutes, then emptied tank, added a few drops of Photo-Flo, filled tank again and agitated 20x, and hung negatives vertically to dry.
