Nice video. I haven’t gone through your channel yet, but any plans on showing us how you put together your agitation and warming setup? I’m interested in that! You should look at the 500t guide from Kodak which has their premier removal process. It works even better. Only 3, easily attainable, cheap ingredients. No need for the wipe at the end. Itll remove it all in the bath.
@@PaulVanDenton it's actually just a bain Marie water bath, but I added a PID controller to get more accurate control. Rotation is from a stepper motor, I'll put together a video explaining it soon
@@Ben_Hurr_oh cool, so very custom then. I was looking at those e-tone rollers but it looks like you can’t have them slightly submerged to keep temps. Maybe it doesn’t matter all that much.
Hi Ben, if I’ll be away from the tap - how much water it takes for each was I this same tank (1520 I’m assuming). Thank you for showing the processes so clearly. Miro
@@Ben_Hurr_ thank you Ben. Yet another question that arises... do you pour just 240ml of developer/bleach etc into the 1520 tank or 240ml would not be enough developer for example? Given your prev video I would assume that the solution is 500ml, but if 500ml is used for each roll then the rotary method is not really saving anything on chemistry used.
@@miroslavbazitov183 I usually pour most of the bottle in, but the bleach usually a bit less. Helps with the expansion. You're right of course that it's not saving any chemistry. You could also mix even smaller batches if you wanted, but they would process a similar number if films anyway. It's more for single shot developing where using a smaller amount is more beneficial. E.g. Rodinal
Fantastic guide :) Can i ask what rotary device you are using in the buffalo water bath?
What is that tank holding the water and rotating the developing tanks????

Ill definitely make a video about it at some point!
@@Ben_Hurr_im interested in that too, looks like your using an ultrasonic cleaner as a warming bath and have some custom to spin the tank?

Love this video. Would you mind sharing what temperature control tank your using for your chemistry? Is it a Buffalo Appliance? Thanks!
Hey, it's a Buffalo one but just basic thermostat control. I added a PID controller to get it more accurate
@@Ben_Hurr_ Thank you!
Hello, how is grain size compared to budget color films, kodak gold, ultramax, fuji 400?
Definitely coarser then 200 speed films, probably similar to ultramax, but I haven't don't a side by side comparison. Dynamic range is better I think
Nice video! And what scanner are you using?
Thanks! Camera scanning with Valoi holders and my SL2s

I also work away from the tap, I just keep all my filtered water in bottles - I reckon I use about 3-4L per development - mostly rinse water

Für alle, die sich fragen, baking soda ist Natron!
@@captainbackflash you should use washing soda (sodium carbonate) not baking soda, (sodium bicarbonate)
@@Ben_Hurr_ It works both. I have no problem, remove the remjet layer, with baking soda.
