Greetings, anyone got a developing time for ERA 35mm / 100 asa. I have microphen/ tetanol at the moment.
Just going to try this film and any other developer info would also be usefull.

I was intending a quess at 6.5 min in stock as a starting point??
Yep, i have checked massive chart and no info there,
regards
CW
 
I've developed ERA in these:

ID-11 1+1 10min @ 20c
LC29 1+58 15.5min @ 20c
DD-x 1+4 12min @ 20c
 
ERA in Microdol-X stock for 11 minutes.
Great combination.
 
ERA100 & Ilfosol 3?

Just noticed this thread on ERA100.....just hope someone is still subscribed to it :smile:

I love ERA100!, it's a good film for an even better price!

At the moment my developer is FD10 but I'm waiting on Ilford Ilfosol 3, Ilfostop & Rapid Fixer arriving and am curious if anyone has used this combination & what time was used?

Unfortunately, I can't find anything for ERA film with either FD10 nor Ilfosol 3 on the MDC :confused:......I'm coming to the end of a roll with another couple of used rolls in the fridge so am keen to develop it

Anyone a member of the Flickr ERA user's group?

Cheers, Andy
 
hi esskie, try at the FP4 times 1+1, i have done same with microphen and looking good.
One advantage with this film is, yes, its price. Perfect for experimenting with regards to times and developers.
ah, i will not mention price in regards to where you live... too much of a cliche joke aye.
regards

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the follow up & reply mate

From the posts further up this thread that's exactly what I did my friend, both developers (Ilfosol-3 & FD10) have given me decent results treating the film as FP4 (which happens to be one of my favz)

There are shots in my portfolio of scanned ERA100 although they have been through Lightroom and/or PS4.

I'm not sure if it's the scanner Craig but the negs seem pretty 'flat' by the time I've scanned them (without any messing with the histogram etc in the scanner s/ware).
It's an Epson scanner and just a simple click on 'auto optimize' really changes the pic so I reckon the flatness is possibly just the preview as the negatives look ok.....hope that makes sense!

As you say, at that price it's ideally suited to experimentation of times and general 'what if I try this?' situations.....and there's the extremely Scotsman friendly price too as you so kindly pointed out :tongue:

However, we're only looking at a time of approx 4mins with Ilfosol-3 (1+9) @ 20C with 7.5mins for 1+14 so not too much scope for experimenting using 1+9?

FD10 has given some good results too, it's 6-8mins @ 1+9 and 9-12mins @ 1+14......actually I've just done mixing up enough FD10 to do a roll of TMax100 & a roll of TMax400 in a wee while.....not together of course! :smile:

I'm glad you've had good results with the Microphen too, it's a dev I've not used yet.
A good dev for "extended times" and push processing fast films like HP5+ & Delta 400 Pro huh?.....films which are probably in my fridge more so than any other ISO400 film....maybe I'll give it a try?

Thanks again for the reply Craig & be sure and drop in to say hi around the forum :smile:
Best Regards, Andy
 
Old thread but the subject is the same:
I got hold of a brick of ERA100. Seems to be expired since 2006, gone through a couple of xrays and who knows what keeping conditions.
I developed it according to digitaltruth's time (8min in D-76 stock, 20ºC) but it's a bit soft, although it has very visible grain: http://flic.kr/p/aeVeVp I agitated like Kodak (first 15sec then 3 very gentle inversions each 30sec). I'm going to try 3 gentle inversions every minute to try to keep the grain down (right?).

Still I want to use 1+1 instead of stock D-76, but there are no published times. People here said to follow FP4 and APX times, but they are different. Anyone tried 1+1? I want to do it because the negs look soft, or maybe that's just me :tongue:
