Zebra Kickstarter

Another load of 8x10 film developed, this time I used 2l of solution for 4x 8x10 sheets. Using my paterson top as a makeshift funnel (with blu-tack as a seal) as the supplied one was too small. A coffee temperature probe is useful to keep track of temp easily. The results look good with 510 Pyro at 1:100 with HP5+. Not too expensive on chems if you use high dilution chemicals. I must give Rodinal a try sometime.

Great idea to use the Paterson light baffle as a funnel.

That’s smart. I must address my developing tank for 4x5. I’m wasting to much developer using the mod54

I got on well with the MOD54. Remember, the 1 litre of chemistry will have enough power to develop more than just 6 sheets.

Oh so you could reuse the 1 litre solution for say another 6 sheets?

Oh wow I never realised. Would you have to adjust your development time as developer stock has been used?

Personally I wouldn't but you can if you want. 12 sheets is the equivalent film area of 3 rolls of film and you'd easily be able to develop 3 rolls of 35mm in 1 litre of developer. For this to work I'd mix developer from concentrate like HC110 for example. Not diluted stock like ID-11 which is designed for one shot.

You're in the right place to learn. Tons of knowledge amongst us. Just keep asking the questions :)
