Hi,
I bought just large pile of Fuji Neopan Across 100 film from Japan, where it is practually only sheet film that is available at black and white.
I am thinking to try it with pyrocat-HD.
However, how much I have searched from various forums and from internet, I haven't found any good starting point for developing time.
I can ofcourse try to find it just by guessing. 4 minutes, 6 minutes, 8 minutes, ...
But perhaps I am too lazy for that
My developing procedure is to use trays and shuffle the sheets (if I develop more than one at time). Otherwise I simulate shuffling with one sheet.
Now, which I should take a starting point?
In medium format size I have used Neopan 400 with Pyrocat-HD 1:1:100, agitating first minute continuosly and then 10 second (3 inversions) at the beginning of each 3rd minute.
That gives good N negatives when developed 14 minutes at 24 celcius.
I could take similar approach for Across and sheet film, but how with the initial agitation, is the shuffling enough vigirous?
Another option would be my standard agitation, shuffling first 30 sec continuosly and then one shuffle after each 30 seconds.
But havent found any starting point, especially for that agitation method.
I don't need pinpoint accurate starting point, just some tips for agitation and developing sheet films with pyrocat-HD and 'useful' developing time for Neopan Across.
Regards,
Jukka
