Four rolls of FP4+, one roll of PanF+, all shot at box speed, on 35mm rolls in the five-roll tank. Caffenol CL this time, since FP4+ looks so good in it. This is just a standard sixty-minute semi-stand development with one agitation interval after the first minute.
Pre-wet film (overnight, in fact). Mixed 1L Caffenol CL with enough chemicals for 1.15L: 18g waterfree washing soda, 12g Vitamin C, 8g iodized salt, and 46g instant coffee (11g Nescafe Taster’s Choice, 35g Kroger Original Roast). Topped off the tank with water to ~1.15L. Agitated 40x over first minute, then 10x over 15 seconds at 30:00. Kept orientation the same throughout development: this larger tank leaks a bit.
After 60 minutes, disposed of developer, rinsed in 68 degree water, filling and emptying the tank until the water rinsed completely clear, then four more times. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 for 6 minutes (that’s now 19 rolls from this batch of fixer), inverting 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.
