  • My process of mixing together a stock batch of Kodak d-76 B&W developer.
    KODAK Developer D-76 provides full emulsion speed and excellent shadow detail with normal contrast, and produces fine grain with a variety of continuous-tone black-and-white films. For greater sharpness, but with a slight increase in graininess, you can use a 1:1 dilution of this developer. It yields a long density range, and its development latitude allows push processing with
    relatively low fog. Proper replenishment of Developer D-76 with KODAK Replenisher D-76R will increase the capacity of the developer and maintain process consistency without an increase in the development time.

    Tip to extend developer life: Instead of storing in what looks like a one gallon bottle, store in four quart bottles instead. That way three bottle stay sealed until you need to use the contents. Also, for D-76, use "one shot" by mixing one part stock to two parts (or one part if you prefer) water, use once and discard. Never pour used developer back into a stock bottle, because that alters the usage specifications for that mix of old and new solution, and you'll never get anything exactly right after that.

      Thanks for the tip Randall! I'm still trying to figure out a full workflow, I don't shoot too much black and white so I will probably end up mixing a smaller batch if I stick with d-76. So far I've been using a 1:1 shot and have been satisfied with the results.

    Another great video of yours! Thanks for your sharing. BTW: Where do you get the music for your videos from?

      Thank you Markus! All the music I've used thus far is from Epidemic Sound.

    Some homemade clear cool aid! Hahaha! Not sure why your using two cups to fill the water with and save your self one step ? Maybe cool aid is made different in your house. Hahaha!
