DEAR TIM, I don't know if the world is but I am certainly awaiting your results of AGFAORTHO 25 in PMK. CHEERS! BOB -----Original Message----- From: pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tim Daneliuk Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 10:23 AM To: pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [pure-silver] Efke R100 Chapter 2: PMK In my ongoing saga of Efke film, I decided to try it with PMK. Here's what I found: - ASA 100 - Normal development of 13 mins @ 68F, agitating every 15 sec. - The negs look great - I do not normally clip rollfilm into the retaining clip in the center of the reel. I just thread one end into the core of the reel and rotate the reel to load. I've done this for years to avoid the "half moons" you can get at the end of a roll when trying to position the film into the clip. The Efke base is so very thin that it actually slipped out of the reel core and started unwinding during processing. I ended up doing about 5 minutes of Dip-N-Dunk. This had two consequences: a) It tore up some of the very soft emulsion on part of the roll. This is a REALLY touchy emulsion that scratches if you even glare at it. About 1/3 of the negs were compromised. Fortunately, it was nothing particularly important. b) The last 5 minutes ended up causing me to agitate somewhat more than usual because the film was in constant motion. This could have some slight effect on the amount of development. So ... I'm going to have to learn how to clip the film in place without damaging or pinching it. Other than this, the negs look great and I can't wait to print them.
