Film cheat sheet


My notes on film, mostly development in a place where I can find them whe n I forget.

Black and White Development

HP5+ film

  1. Developer: HC-110 update this…wasn’t enough
    • One film: Place at bottom. 10 ml dev + 290 ml water
    • Two films: 15ml dev + 450 ml water
  2. 5 minutes at 20°C. (Maybe 6:30 if 18°C)
    • Agitate first minute, then 5 inversions every minute
  3. Stop (water or stop bath) for 1 minute
  4. Fix for 5 minutes
  5. Wash 8-10 mins
  6. Dip in photoflo
  7. Remove from spool (clean spool immediately)

Photoflo - maybe optional, use distilled water.

HP5 Pushed Development times (at 20°C) with HC110 dil B:

  • 800 - 7.5 mins
  • 1600 - 11 mins
  • 12800 (some crazy) 140 minutes! Agitate for 1 min, then stand for 139…
