Bleach bypass test (room temp. stand)

Sewing threads in reasonably vivid colours, shot under diffuse natural light. Bleach bypass, room temperature stand, test.

 

FM3a with Voigtlander 40/2, shooting on Fuji C200 auto-exposed at ISO 400.

 

Using chemicals from a Tetenal C41 kit, 500ml mixed at standard strength, already used for about 8 films (exhausted, according to the box). Room temperature stand development (~19 degrees C).

 

Film loaded into standard daylight tank. 5 minute presoak in tapwater. 80 minute stand in C41 dev (agitate first minute). 2 minute wash in multiple tapwater changes. 1 minute rinse in blix from kit, with agitation. 2 minute wash in multiple tapwater changes. 5 minutes in Ilford Rapid Fixer at 5:1, agitation first 30 seconds, and every 30 seconds thereafter. 6 minute wash in running tapwater. 10 minute stand in stab, occasional agitation. Final rinse in demineralised water with wetting agent.

 

Scanned at 3200 DPI on a Reflecta RPS 7200, muti-exposure on, iSRD off. Lightroom 4 used only for crop, WB from eyedropper, black point set with curves, minimal dust spotting.

 

Not bad for bargain basement film, and exhausted chemicals. I might use this one in anger.
