I hope you don't mind that I sent the dev times that to digitaltruth to be entered into the massive dev chart.

Not a bit.

Hi Guys,
I did my first film run with new ORWO UN-54 developed in Agfa Rodinal 1:50.

Also, there are few more pictures on my Flickr

Great photo. That is some nice looking stuff. I think this can be my replacement for Plus-X (rip)

Hi Bill,
We are in the same boat here. For the last 16 years I was using Agfa APX100. When they went under I bought large stock of film. Now I have enough for another year of shooting and I started looking for replacement. Bought decent stock of Arista Premium 100 (PlusX) last spring, just to learn that there are not going to be more of it. Now I'm looking to find how ORWO will do the job.
Please stay tuned!
Goran

Hi Guys, I did another batch of pictures taken on ORWO UN-54 film at 100 iso, this time processed in Kodak Xtol 1:1 for 8m 20C, first 30s inversions and then two inversions of paterson tank each minute. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26983280@N00/sets/72157628475542803/

Hello all. My first roll of ORWO UN-54 film (EI 80) Developed it with the recipe from Goran. (Who also lent me 2 rolls). The N74 is in the camera now.

 

[gorbas]

Well done Dennis!! Very nice tones and beautiful DOF on 2nd picture! I'm glad that you used my small present so nicely! Keep shooting!

 

[Dennis S]

Finished the ORWO 74. I developed it with Xtol 1-3 but not too thrilled with that recipe. Like to have done it with Rodinal and expect the grain. gorbas.. How old was that film ? It seemed a bit fogged but the Xtol might have been a bit aged. It was the last of a 5L batch .

 

[gorbas]

Dennis, all film Tom A., you and me used come from the same 2 - 100' rolls. One of Un-54 and one N-74. They were send to me by ORWO NA and I assume they are fresh. I didn't noticed any fog issues,as well as Tom. I never tried Xtol 1:3. Its kind of crazy to test brand new emulsion in "questionable" developer. I can see way to high contrast on your pictures, but I'm not sure is it from negative or post-processing?? Also negative exposure for was on shorter side to. Keep shooting!

 

[Dennis S]

The contrast was from post-procession and the Xtol was all I had left. I did not have any other recipe to use for other developers. I see the list is very short on what I could use. Now its my turn to buy some ;o)

 

[Dennis S]

Hello again Goran. I guess I did not do my research enough when I looked through the ORWO site and found your recipe for Rodinal 1-50 for 13 minutes. Or as Canadian say "Blazinal". The next time as my only option now. Also a great picture of Science World.

 

[gorbas]

Hi Dennis, no problem! Thank you! I would like to supply all interested people with data about different developers and ORWO films but actually I'm not paid nor asked to do it.
So I give you what was interesting for me. It's what I have in my stock of developers. I also would like to try it in D96 or golden standard D76 (1:1 in my case).

ORWO Film

Just finished developing my new batch of Orwo N-74 (EI320) developed with ID-11 @ 1-1. 10:15 Min (was suggested to do 10-10.5 min so I split it) Shot with Canon A1 w/ 400mm f/5.6 Vivitar lens. Next one will use Rodinal 1-50.

Some times are now in the massive dev chart:

And this Flickr group will probably add some more:

Most 35mm movie film, when supplied in 100 ft lengths, is on a camera spool instead of a core. If that's the case, some bulk loaders have trouble with the dimensions of that. For instance the Lloyd's loader will just barely accept the diameter of the spool, but you can't quite cinch the lid screw down all the way or the ribs on the lid press against the spool and keep it from turning. Just keep that in mind if you order this and it comes on a spool. (Lots of Fuji bulk slide film comes this way, which why I'm familiar with it.)

It's not an issue.....

The grain on N74 is quite high, and you got about all I would have expected from negitive developing outside of pyro.

Here is a reversal

and the full size http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7126/7022666043_c324e61407_o_d.jpg , to see the grain.

Back in July last year I said I would post my results and finally I have bitten the bullet at sat down at the scanner, all I have only included is my reversal examples. These are bracketed exposures, 2 stops either side of Iso100. Anywhere between Iso100 and Iso50 gives me the best image with the soup I process all of my reversal in. I just can't get the true images to show here. Digital is not my thing.

 

[Uncle Bill]

Got a question, anyone got a time and decent results for ORWO UN54 and D-76/ ID-11 at 20c?

 

[Dennis S]

I have had good results UN54 1-1 in ID-11 for 8 min @ 20C. I have found I get better results using Rodinal 1-50 for 10 min. Use these times to start and then experiment... The film has the economy that you can do that.

 

[gsgary]

I have just developed my first roll in Rodinal and they look good except for my very first scratch full length of the film so rolled a small roll and shot it and developed it in Ilfosol3, couldn't find any times so did it for 4 mins like FP4 and the negs look good so it must have been dirt in the cassette so its in the bin

I just developed and scanned by first rolls of NP74 and UN54.

NP74 has attitude, may have been using slightly dead Xtol but it's very grindy, but I love it.

UN54 wow, just wow, I developed in PMK Pyro (since my Xtol was slightly dead), and just wow, so much dimensionality in the film.

Tech Details:
NP74 - Nikon F4 - AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G - ORWO NP74 @ ASA-400 Developed in Xtol (1+1) 13:00 @ 20C
UN54 - Nikon F4 - AF Nikkor 35mm 1:2D - ORWO UN54 @ ASA-100 Developed in Photographer's Formulary PMK Pyro (1+2+100) 13:00 @ 21C

 

[Dennis S]

Having fantastic results from UN-54 in Pyrocat HD /wth Glycol.


Great combination. I sure like the outcome of the negatives. Printing them is a pleasure. I have a few rolls of Orwo N-74 but can not find a time or dilution using Pyrocat HD. Has anyone used it with pleasing results or is it just a waste of my time and film testing it. ?
This is a print of the Pyrocat N-54 negatives using Studio VII VC/RC.

If you have a time for FP4+ try 20% less for a start reduce ISO a bit as well
