Thanks! This was my first roll in Rodinal, and since Ilford's spec sheet gave one time, and Rodinal gave another, I split the difference, so maybe not enough time. and maybe back to 5 seconds every 10 minutes. I use a stainless steel tank, agitating for the first 10 seconds of each minute. Ilftoec HC never gave me this problem, but the grain is much much finer with Rodinal.
I wonder though about how tightly the camera is holding the film. This is the same roll that gave me the strange light leak across frames.
Thanks again all. Elias On Oct 3, 2007, at 2:18 AM, dpurdy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:
Yes definitely uneven processing though otherwise your film looks pretty smooth. It is really hard to get even processing in a stainless tank if that is what you are doing. I ended up making oversized tanks and doingmy processing in the dark so that I could agitate by taking the reelscompletely out of the developer and reimmersing them. I now get perfectsmooth even tones. DennisWhy are my Rolleiflex shots darker in the middle of the frame, and lighter on the sides? I've only noticed on this last roll, and only on shots that have a lot of sky in them. Is it possible the lens sends more light to the outside of the frame, could the square lens hood be causing it - in most of the shots the light sun is to my right? Or is it fogging in the process of loading the film onto the reel for processing (I'm pretty sure my room is light tight). http://www.flickr.com/photos/99071700@N00/ Thanks, Elias --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list--- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
