FN9: Black & White Film Developing Process

[2005interceptor]

Can you use water from a softener for the whole developing process?

great video.. although i watched a video that said that you should put the film in a closed area so dust does not get on it... do u see any problems with just leaving it in the open?

this is a great video, very helpful.. im learning to do my own black/white film and this has been one of the most useful bits of info ive found online. thanks!

how long dose the film hang to dry for?

[jokingmilad]

Hi thank u for the video its very clearly... the only thing that i didnt understood is the last wash, Whats the name of that?

[tesukiBodaiju]

Is it really okay to pour the developer mix into the sink or is the agfa "safe"?

[ajuk1]

I put rinse aid and isopropynol in my final wash.

I have questin:

is it important to use stop? I mean I have devoloper and fixer

so I did dev./water/fixer/water...

[GaGaGooGoostuff]

@melkor65 It should be fine. I was in a darkroom in a community centre and I can’t find the stop and did what you did and the film came out ok.

Once the stop is done, the film is no longer sensitive to light.

hi,

im using a kodak stop bath and it says to add this concentrate to water in the proportion of 16ml per litre, 2 fluid ounces per gallon. so what is my dilution? haha i dont get it. also instead of distilled water can you use the photoflo?

[tomsmith100]

@ghostsandgravity The dilution is 16ml of your kodak stop bath to 1ltr of water......? Isn't that obvious. If there are 1,000ml in 1ltr then the ratio is 0.16:1
