No for D76? :o
sthomas68 · 2011-08-04 20:25
I peeled back the label of my Earl grey and it says process c41. I'm guessing then that the above won't work?
adbigmilk · 2011-08-05 08:50
Great idea. I wanted to know. Now i got to buy some.
ibkc · 2011-08-05 20:08

Any ideas on Rollei RHS?
raisedbywolves · 2011-09-24 02:31
I developed a roll in D76 1:1 for 10 minutes at 68 degrees F and they came out pretty good.
bazingo · 2011-10-06 20:13
And with Ultrafin plus (1+6), an idea please?
vicuna · 2011-12-27 09:13
@cruzron: do you have the processing times for Kodak D76 please?

For Ilfosol 3 i used 6 minutes in 1+9 concentration. Is a good balance for medium exposed film. For underexposed film 6.30.
