i like how the video was as simple as the process. No unnecessary fluff to make the video longer 👏

[tobaccodiaries]

It's nice to watch a video that doesn't even mention Squarespace once!

Been using this all summer. Everything came out as intended. Used it for Fomapan 100 & 200, Ilford HP5, Kodak Tmax 400 35mm and 120. Tip: If you're doing a large batch of different film, do the T-grain ones first. If you do them as your 10th roll, you need to agitate until your arms fall off.

I almost didn't click this because a 2 minute video to explain how to develop film seems impossible. But I love that this is an all in one solution.

Hey Linus you're perfect for this series. Appreciate you.

[andyvan]

Fyi for most of us, this 70 degrees is way to hot, like a coffee hot!, what he is saying is 20 degrees C +/- 2 degree (what Ilford recommends for their HP5+) aka close to ROOM TEMPERATURE, if this makes things clearer.

[TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

That was smooth! Shelf life would be interesting to know. Also would be cool to know if your degrees are°C or °F. aren't you Willem's roommate? 😀

[koishes]

Awesome - loving the focus on new shooters. The more people we can get into this medium the better!

[Adamgelston]

Any plans to sell these kits in Europe? Shipping from the US is quite prohibitive on your site, atm.

[mugglepower]

the powder kits are great! complete noob here, got both one stop b&w and color c41 kit, developed 35 and 8x11 film, excellent. Very easy to mix and use. also got a jobo1510 to replace my current tank which is a glass jar wrapped with black duct tape...

[dominic.shoots]

It's just a guide of the monobath right?
You think someone can actually load the film properly after watching this?

[hugofps]

only this? this is easier than I thought

[RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

so smooth! thanks for another enjoyable 3min!

[khanscombe]

Way cool. This is new to me. Can I use in the rotary constant agitation & if so, how is time adjusted?
16 rolls based on what size? Single 135 in a 1510 vs single 120 in the 2509n ? I use 140-170ml

[Rcmellophotography]

Badly want the duo kit. Like bad bad. That sous warmer is ideal. I just wish I could buy extra accordion bottles. Also you guys fixed the monobath development mystery. Ive noticed there were mixed reviews with the mono bath solution. Tell me how would i push or pull a stop with the mono bath?

[scottbrennan]

When you add the +15 seconds for each roll of film, do you add it to the agitation time? Does the agitation time always stay the same?

[Hipbydesign]

Any other videos that show how to actually load the film on the reel? Or how to pull it out from its roll?

[dflf]

Loading the film onto the reel is something you’re going to have to practice many times with a spent roll of film.

[CrusaderRabbit]

is there a video like this on your site that shows proper use of your D96 and f96 powders together for b&w film processing?

[Exposures]

Hey Linus! This video is awesome! Thanks for making it so clear and easy! However I have one question that I haven't been able to find an aswer. I have a bunch of Fujifilm Neopan Acros II 100 and haven't found any info, neither in the pdf. Hope you can help! Cheers!
