B/W film mistakenly developed in C41
bob cutler spake thus:
What result would be expected if a roll of asa 400 fujifilm b/w were developed by mistake in c41 chemistry? I take it that this is *not* chromogenic (C41) B&W film? Just checking. -- I hope that in a few years it [Wikipedia] will be so bloated that it will simply disintegrate, because I can't stand the thought that this thing might someday actually be used as a serious reference source. Because in its current form, it's not to be taken seriously at all. - Horst Prillinger (see http://homepage.univie.ac.at/horst.p...06/000623.html) |

All chromogenic films use bleach to turn all the silver into soluble silver salts and which are removed in the fix. Sometimes they are combined in a bleach-fix, "blix." If you run an ordinary black and white film through a color process you'll have a bunch of silver to recover from your fix and not much else. Sorry. |

"bob cutler" wrote in message ... What result would be expected if a roll of asa 400 fujifilm b/w were developed by mistake in c41 chemistry? The bleach step will completely wipe the film. Do not get c-41 bleach near b&w film! My limited experiments show that the c-41 developer is fairly "weak" for B&W film. It must be used at 100F and the time for Tri-X is in the 7-10 minute range, instead of the 3:15 for color film. Contrast is a bit low; #3 or 4 filter instread of #2. The c-41 fixer is also a bit weak. For color film the fix time is 6:30 at 100F. For complete clearing of B&W film, it's more like ten minutes. If you absolutely had to develope B&W film in c-41 chems, it will work. |
