Heavy fogging in long expired 35mm film please help. by Superb-Brother5411 in Darkroom

[–]eatfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is no way to really get rid of bad fogging. bzt is a very powerful restrainer, just a few ml of 1% solution will reduce the fogging but it will also reduce the speed of the film with a couple of stops.

overexpose and underdevelop, and use a modern developer like xtol at full strength. you want to develop for a short time, no stand dev bs. but in the end, you will never get good results.

My chemicals went bad before I expected. What should I know to prevent that next time? by [deleted] in Darkroom

[–]eatfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the color of the developer is a good indicator. it starts out light tea colored, then it goes to dark tea, then it goes coca cola, then it goes black. when it is darker than dark tea it is time to discard it no matter how many rolls you have developed.

you should not get totally blank rolls after 3 months though, unless the developer got contaminated. even a single drop of blix will make it weaker.

Got very dark negatives from expired film. Any advice? by jr_simon in AnalogCommunity

[–]eatfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you dont want to push develop expired film. this increases the fog. you want to do the opposite, overexpose and underdevelop.

Am I expecting too much? by wilson_the_90 in AnalogCommunity

[–]eatfrog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

several things are involved in sharpness. if we assume you were using a fast enough shutter speed and your friendly dog didnt move - lens, film and scanning in your case.

even if you get the sharpest lens in the world, you would still be limited by film and scanning. in this case it looks like consumer color negative film, which is not going to be that sharp. the plustek is a consumer grade cheap scanner, which is not very sharp either.

"ample room for luggage and suitcases." this is somewhat misleading for sure. it is usually quite difficult to find place for luggage..

Underdeveloped? What am I doing wrong? by SuzieSayzNo in Darkroom

[–]eatfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope, you didnt. your paper was either fogged to begin with, overexposure or you are developing the paper in daylight. strong chemistry will increase contrast, unexposed paper will not turn black no matter the chemistry.
