Developer stays in for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. It might take you fifteen seconds to pour all the developer in, but never mind that – this time is included in the overall time for development.ĥ. Once the thermometer hits 38,5–39 degrees C, start pouring the developer into the tank at the same time as you start your timer. Watch the thermometer and prepare to start the process when it reaches 39 degrees C (ideal temperature is 38,5 degrees C for C-41 – at least the Tetenal I use – but there is half a degree latitude and the extra half degree makes no earthly difference.)Ĥ.
You don't want cold plastic to cool of the chemicals too rapidly once you get going.ģ. Hold the Paterson tank in the waterbath while you wait so as to warm it up a bit, making sure no water enters the tank of course. five minutes (this will warm the chemicals to the same temperature as the waterbath surrounding it).Ģ. I load the film the way I usually do (I'll not get into that now, but 500 ml chemicals will submerge one 120/220 roll or two 135 rolls).ġ. I set up all my equipment as you see it, using the kitchen sink.
Oh, by the way: the image above has lots of notes, so make sure to check them out if you're interested too. I use the Tetenal Colortec C-41 set mix the chemicals to the specifications provided in the set you use and adapt the following to suit your needs (if, for instance, your C-41 set uses separate bleach and fix). This is the way I do it, not necessarily the best way – but it works for me.
