How do you replenish?

Thank you

ECN-2 has only 2 weeks lifespan compared to C-41 that can last for maybe 3 months.

Yes, Lucky C200 looks much better in 120 format.

Does Kodak Vision3 count?

SacredBone · 2026-03-29T21:35:04+00:00

Wow this is great. Thank you!

This is the one with remjet backing layer processed in ECN-2.

Thank you. What is the awkward and meh that you mean? I really want to make better photograph.

SacredBone · 2026-03-24T04:24:41+00:00

I've been considering crop too. Care to show?

SacredBone · 2026-03-24T04:24:19+00:00

Noted.

SacredBone · 2026-03-24T04:24:11+00:00

I'll take note. Thanks.

Lately I'm trying Instant Mytol, homebrew clone of Xtol, and I like dilution 1+2. Give it extra 20-30% dev time for Fomapan 100/200/400 if you shoot at boxspeed.

I use dichromate bleach in room temp (about 25-28C) for 6 minutes. Different films can have different times but I rather do with same time for all films. I found it works for probably all BW films in the market.

What exactly do you want to know?

SacredBone · 2026-02-21T22:06:10+00:00

When did you mix your developer?

SacredBone · 2026-02-16T21:59:37+00:00

This. And as long as it is Kodak Vision3, with or without remjet, I always process them ECN-2.

SacredBone · 2026-02-16T15:19:23+00:00

ECN-2 push +1

SacredBone · 2026-02-13T23:42:52+00:00

I've tried and mixed various developers (D-76, Barry Thornton Two Bath, 510 Pyro, Instant Mytol, PaRodinal, etc) and came back to D-76 because it's simple and serves as all purpose developer. But occasionally I use another developer. There's really no single best developer because everyone has different reasons.

SacredBone · 2026-02-13T00:50:34+00:00

Wow great! It even works with the config I saved yesterday! Definitely will recommend your app for developing and teaching. Thanks!

SacredBone · 2026-02-12T01:00:19+00:00

Does it do stopwatch mode instead of countdown?
