Hey all,

I scanned 4 rolls to see if i did good job in developing or not, also to see if there is any problem then is it with developing or is it something else [exposure?], so what do you think?

I used TMAX developer for all of those rolls, and i can't tell about agitations because i didn't count and noted that[mostly i agitate for about 4 times in first 5 sec and then 3-4 every 30 sec intervals], but i did develop for about 6'1/2-7 minutes.
 
Hi, Tareq,

Looks good but you might want to invert the image before uploading them. Much easier to see that way.

One thing I noticed is that on img037, on right side, one inside the image and few outside, I see thin moon like lines. Those were likely caused by handling the film and having the film bend in sharp angle. I'd be careful with that....

Ah cool, thanks!
I was thinking to invert them, but when i invert all of them became so overexposure, but when i scan one frame normally i got them good exposure sometimes slightly overexposure, so i thought to keep it as negative for you to see the dense, and you may do better in inverting or getting the img out of the negative.

Honestly, i didn't understand about your second point, i will read it again and check the image to see what do you mean.
 
Ah ok, i got what you mean, in fact i wasn't so careful on handling the film as it should be, all those rolls were as tests, and i am happy i got something whatever the result is, but for sure next time i will handle it more careful and not make any sharp or curl or wrinkling on the roll.
 
I cant tell you about the developing as I am still learning my self. The marks on the film often happen while loading the film into the reels for developing. Either if they slip out of the groove or if you have to pull the reel apart to start again. I learnt this one a few times myself. 120 film is worse that 35mm for this problem. Patience and calm is the key :wink:
 
I am going to develop one roll, i didn't shoot film now for a while and i just have one roll i did while ago and i feel i want to develop it now, it is Delta 100, but i want to use only TMAX developer for it, so what i have to do to make it good developing? I will do my best to load the film on reel carefully, but what after that? Sometimes i can't understand here, people just telling go and develop it, i developed about 8 rolls and i never see i have to change anything or something and i posted here and i get mostly about to treat the film roll carefully, but now before i develop this film, is there anything i have to follow or do so then i don't get many mistakes with it then you will give me a lot of opinions and advises about what i did?
