One more roll in one of the two-roll tanks.

Loaded inside daylight changing bag. Pre-wet film for about an hour. During the pre-soak, mixed 500mL Caffenol CL: 8g washing soda; wait for it to dissolve and stop bubbling; 6g Vitamin C, wait for it to dissolve and stop bubbling; 10g iodized salt, wait for it to dissolve and stop bubbling; 20g Everyday Essentials instant coffee, wait for it to fully dissolve and for bubbles to dissipate, all in 425mL distilled water. Poured developer in, topped off with distilled water. Agitated 40x over the 30 seconds, then 10x at 30:00. All agitations are gentle half-agitations (i.e., gently twisting to a 90-degree inversion, then gently back).

After 60 minutes, disposed of developer, rinsed thoroughly in tap water. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 for 6 minutes (that’s now 8 rolls in this batch of fixer), inverting 10x over 15 seconds at the top of every minute. Dumped fixer and rinsed for ten minutes in tap water, then emptied tank, added a few drops of Photo-Flo, filled tank with tap water and agitated 20x, and hung negatives vertically to dry.

Evaluation and notes

Well, I don’t know what made someone report to the Massive Dev Chart that a 70 minute Caffenol CL semi-stand was a good way to push JCH Street Pan to EI 1600, but I assume it was malice, and I hope that person has a special place in hell. There’s nothing usable here.
