Working Chemical Dilutions & Stock Life
| Developer | Working Dilution | Stock Life | Notes | |:----------|:----------------|:------------|:-------| | D-76 | 1:1 | 6 months | Life improves in full bottles | | HC-110 | Dilution B (1:31)| 2+ years | Syrupy concentrate very stable | | | Dilution E (1:47)| 2+ years | For lower contrast | | | Dilution H (1:63)| 2+ years | For stand development | | XTOL | Stock | 2-3 months | Sudden death - test before critical use | | | 1:1 | 2-3 months | More economical | | Rodinal | 1:25 | Decades | High acutance, pronounced grain | | | 1:50 | Decades | Standard development | | DD-X | 1:4 | 6 months | Professional choice, fine grain | | Microphen | Stock | 6 months | Best for push processing | | | 1:1 | 6 months | Normal development | | Pyrocat-HD| 1:1:100 | 1 year (A), 6 months (B) | Excellent for alternative processes | | ID-11 | Stock | 6 months | Similar to D-76 | | | 1:1 | 6 months | Economy option | | Perceptol | Stock | 4 months | Ultra-fine grain | | | 1:1 | 4 months | Extended development | **Notes:** - Storage life assumes proper storage conditions: cool, dark place in full, tightly sealed bottles - Stock solution life assumes unopened or well-preserved (e.g., with glass marbles or inert gas) - High temperature and oxidation significantly reduce storage life - All working solutions should be used immediately after mixing - Always test old solutions with non-critical film first - Storage life estimates are conservative; actual life may be longer under ideal conditions
Rodinal Development Times for Common Film Stocks (20°C/68°F)
| Film Stock | ISO/ASA | Dilution | Development Time | Notes | |:------------|:---------|:----------|:------------------|:-------| | Tri-X | 400 | 1:50 | 11 minutes | Standard contrast | | HP5+ | 400 | 1:50 | 11 minutes | Normal agitation | | FP4+ | 125 | 1:50 | 9 minutes | Standard contrast | | T-Max 400 | 400 | 1:50 | 12 minutes | Continuous agitation first minute | | Delta 400 | 400 | 1:50 | 12 minutes | Gentle agitation | | Pan F+ | 50 | 1:50 | 8 minutes | Fine grain | | APX 100 | 100 | 1:50 | 9 minutes | Sharp negatives | | Fomapan 400| 400 | 1:50 | 10 minutes | Economy option | **Notes:** - All times assume standard agitation (5 inversions initial, then 2 inversions every minute) - Stand development (1:100) typically requires 60 minutes with minimal agitation - Times may need adjustment based on desired contrast and personal workflow - Temperature should be maintained throughout development
--- --- # Troubleshooting Common Development Issues ## Uneven Development - **Streaks or bands across the film** - *Cause*: Insufficient or uneven agitation - *Solution*: Maintain consistent agitation pattern; ensure inversions are complete and gentle - **Edge-to-edge density variations** - *Cause*: Temperature variations or insufficient chemical volume - *Solution*: Use at least 250ml per roll of 35mm, 500ml for 120; pre-soak film to normalize temperature - **Blotchy or mottled negatives** - *Cause*: Developer exhaustion or uneven agitation during stand development - *Solution*: Use fresh chemicals; ensure minimal vibration during stand development ## Density Issues - **Negatives too dense (too dark)** - *Causes*: - Over-development - Temperature too high - Film overexposed - *Solutions*: - Check thermometer calibration - Reduce development time by 10-15% - Consider using more dilute developer - **Negatives too thin (too light)** - *Causes*: - Under-development - Developer exhaustion - Temperature too low - Film underexposed - *Solutions*: - Use fresh developer - Increase development time by 10-15% - Check thermometer calibration ## Grain and Sharpness - **Excessive grain** - *Causes*: - Over-development - Temperature too high - Excessive agitation - *Solutions*: - Use less aggressive agitation - Consider more dilute developer - Switch to fine-grain developer like Perceptol - **Lack of sharpness** - *Causes*: - Under-development - Insufficient agitation - Developer too dilute - *Solutions*: - Increase agitation frequency - Use more concentrated developer - Consider developer known for acutance (like Rodinal) ## Chemical Issues - **Developer suddenly stops working** - *Causes*: - Oxidation - Contamination - "Sudden death" (especially with XTOL) - *Solutions*: - Mix fresh chemicals - Use distilled water - Test developer with scrap film before critical work - **Color staining** - *Causes*: - Insufficient fixing - Developer oxidation - Contaminated stop bath - *Solutions*: - Extend fixing time - Use fresh chemicals - Two-bath fix for important work ## Processing Defects - **Physical damage marks** - *Causes*: - Rough handling - Crimped film in reel - Scratched emulsion - *Solutions*: - Practice loading technique - Check reels for damage - Handle film only by edges - **Air bells or blank spots** - *Causes*: - Air trapped during development - Insufficient wetting - Contamination on film - *Solutions*: - Tap tank after initial agitation - Use pre-soak with Photo-Flo - Clean reels thoroughly between uses ## Prevention Tips - Always mix fresh chemicals for important work - Keep detailed development logs - Use thermometer calibration reference - Maintain consistent agitation patterns - Pre-soak film when temperature control is critical - Use enough chemistry (minimum volumes) - Check equipment regularly for damage translatedBy: "단풍이 (Danpoongi) - z.ai Translation Agent" translationNotice: "이 글은 단풍이(Danpoongi)가 z.ai의 3단계 번역 에이전트를 사용하여 번역했습니다. 원문은 영어로 작성되었습니다." translationAgent: "https://z.ai" --- 필름 현상은 예술이자 과학입니다. 흩어진 자원들 - 희석 계산기, 현상 차트, 그리고 다양한 타이밍 도구들 - 사이에서 몇 년간의 노력 끝에, 저는 흑백 필름 현상을 위해 특별히 맞춤화된 포괄적인 솔루션을 만들었습니다. 이 계산기는 암실에서 일관되고 반복 가능한 결과를 얻기 위해 필요한 필수 도구들을 결합합니다. 위의 계산기는 정확한 화학 혼합물과 타이밍을 결정하는 데 도움을 주며, 위의 참조 표들은 다양한 현액과 그 특성을 이해하기 위한 기초를 제공합니다. 당신이 막 시작하는 단계이든, 숙련된 암실 인화사이든, 신뢰할 수 있는 정보와 도구를 한곳에서 갖는 것은 현상 과정을 더 일관되고 즐겁게 만들 수 있습니다. 저는 다소 곤조 현상 방식을 선호한다는 점을 기억해 주세요. 이 시간과 희석 비율은 완벽하게 정확하지 않을 수 있으며, 실제 결과는 다를 수 있습니다.
