coffee-vit c dev for continous tone on line film???

z-man · Jun 25, 2007

need suggestions for starting points dil, time, re freestyle brand line film in 4x5 size

freestyle lists film as "halftone" and so do staff but i think it is just line film-will find out when it gets here

used to get continuos tone out of line film with dilute dektal but this is a green as possible and off the super market shelf project and coffee-vit c will be dev formula of choice

any coffee-vit c paper dev formulas? saw one some where but cant find it

also need suggestions for maco in coffee-vit c-ordered some from frugal photo but he doesn't shoot the maco he sells and if he did he would use home brew d76 so no help there

will be shooting free style in camera assuming iso of 1-3

in the 70's shot ciba in camera and variable contrast bw paper as neg in 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 with good results but have been out of the loop for a while so any help will be greatly appreciated

Jim Galli has tweaked Rodinal for use continuous tone use of APHS:

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Donald Qualls has published info on coffee-Vit C low contrast developer.
Can't find the link just now, but a Google should help.

Grocery store fix don't exist for silver. Threads here state that c41 blix is good and cheap. I haven't used it. I've tried negatives in Donald Qualls' caffinol+c, but I like Pyrocat much better. Never have tried prints in coffee. If you have good results, please post. I might be encouraged to experiement. Good luck.

PS, the Donald Qualls link for caffenol, caffinol+c, and caffinol+c low contrast is: http://www.digitaltruth.com/techdata/caffenol.php

I've never bought from Dig Truth. I've used Artcraft, The Chemistry Store, and Photographer's Formulary.

http://www.chemistrystore.com
http://www.photoformulary.com

For ready-mix I buy from Freestyle. I don't process color, but Freestyle sells color photo chemistry and supplies:

k-for you, as my ex from rio used to say, 'uum bayshow' (one big fat kiss)

artcraft looks very good-but i would have to pay the considerable sales tax on top of shipping-i'll keep them in my bag for when i need something fast

photoformulary's pricing, and being 'nice people' as opposed to being large volume venders of chems puts them on the bottom of my list-i've heard of to many instances of returns to them and altho the reports are allways positive on them making good-time is money here in the big city

patrick gainer also uses chemestrystore-him+you is good enuf for me

i second your choice of freestyle for prepackagedd

thank you for consistantly excelent pointers

i suspect that you are a practitioner of the "work smarter not harder" maxim
