For my standby films (Acros, Neopan 400 and Plus-X), I have a roll of
35mm or 120 with entire roll exposed with standard step tablet or borin
g backyard scene. (Of course, I live in the city and I don't have
backyard. It's neighbor's houses.) I just cut some 10cm portion and dip
it in prepared solution in complete darkness, or sometimes use a small
tank. It's easy enough and give you more accurate information than room
light fog test.

I have enough knowledge accumulated so that I can make good guess about
initial processing time based on developing agents, concentration and
the pH, but at the end, this strip test in small tank is a very good way
to confirm the time before applying to the real negatives.


I have a backyard too. So this should work. ;-)

   Thanks Ryuji. Very helpful.

I'm curious to see if bottle #3 of DDX is good or not. In a way, I hope it isn't. This way Ilford can check to see what's going on. I regret dumping the bad bottle down the sink in frustration.
