cars 2 - Brush dev reversal

Ilford MG RC paper negative, well expired. Shot with Graflex pre-Anniversary 3x4 with Leitmeyr 18cm f/4.5 Satyr doppel anastigmat lens (fairly rare haven't seen much reference to the 180,, / 18cm lens). Shot at f/11 for 1 second. ISO 1.

 

Shot ISO for reversal development. Initial normal 1st developer - used Kodak D-158 under red light for development by inspection. Stop bath, rinse and on to citric acid bath (2 tsp / 300 ml) and then to a 19% hydrogen peroxide bath. This is a continuous 2 bath process to get full fogging. Then reexposed in room light for 2 or 3 minutes. I then brush developed the second developer (D-158 again) by inspection, and then rinsed and fixed.

 

Experimental so this is not anything important or impressive, just to determine if this process works better than just negative brush development.
