Continuous Agitation Roll Film Developing

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread

I have a rool film tank that is waterproof and can be used on a continuous agitation roller and use have the chemicals. Does anyone have developing times using this method as a starting point. I usually use Tmax developer and Ilford 400delta film.

Thanks Eddy

Your mileage will probably vary, but I have found that subtracting 30 seconds from the manufacturer's recommendation gets me in the ballpark with my Jobo. Check out the Photosource Developing Charts at http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~migol/photo/photosource.html.

I presoak the film for 5 minutes in water in my Jobo and then use the manufactureres recommendation. Works great. I also print with a diffusion head enlarger so I can stand a somewhat gutsy negative.

try multipling the manufactures developing time by.7. This generally works for rotary processing.
