Caffenol!

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

After soooo much planning, I finally did it! I mixed up a recipe I found online, and developed my medium format film! The most difficult part was getting the film on the reel, I gave up on using the little hook that's supposed to stab the film and decided to just slip it in underneath.

The recipe was for 350 ml of caffenol, so I adjusted it to the 500 ml I needed to fill my "FR Special" tank.

All that is needed to make caffenol is instant coffee, washing soda, and vitamin c.

Measure it out and mix it up into this delicious stew:

Many people say it stinks when mixed together. Honestly I thought the fixer smelled worse.

I developed for ten minutes, rinsed, then fixed for 5. Agitation was 15 seconds with 15 second gaps in between, though it wasn't perfectly consistent. I did this for two rolls of 120 film, one a 200 ISO shot through a Brownie Hawkeye, the other a roll of 120 shot through a Brownie 2a model f.

It seems my tank is a bit leaky. Thankfully it didn't effect the results.

My tlr came during the week, so I'll have to shoot a roll through it just to be sure today wasn't a fluke.

Unfortunately the scanner is still on the way, so all I can do for the moment is stare at the negatives and marvel at the fact that it worked. I won't call it complete yet, not until it's all scanned, but I am well on my way to a complete film process from start to finish!

As always, keep following, eventually it will all be posted!

Yes, caffenol! The most impressive use of instant coffee. Looking forward to seeing how it worked out!

I scanned a few with my crappy scanner and they look goodish, although I do see a few water spots. Hopefully Epson gets the new scanner here soon!
