SLIMT and Why You Should Be Using It

[Ivo Stunga]

Well, thanks to you I'm currently running semi stand on half of a film suspended by empty plastic reel below. Let's see if this improves things.
135/~18 Rollei Retro 80S in 6ml PQ Universal + 600ml H2O, 60min with 1 inversion every 15minutes and Constant agitation for the first 2 minutes. Paterson tank - the only one I got. AH layers prewashed for 1minute.

I'll be comparing it to SLIMT without Bromide added (fogs film if not used, therefore decreases speed for about a 1,5 stops for me it seems, will get it tomorrow and try with added) - the other half of it went here.

Just be patient. Getting this dialed in for your way of working takes a bit of experimentation but both semistand EMA (which is what you are doing with multiple inversions) can absolutely be made to work reliably.

I'm not sure how this will work in a daylight tank with just an empty reel below, It will be interesting to see.
