I keep looking at Frederic's stuff he posts regularly and being impressed...
My niece was in town over Christmas, and she's interested in film and home developing, so it seemed like a good time to try a little Caffenol for the first time...

I dragged out the Graflex Series D and a 6x8 roll film holder and played around inside the house with that. I keep forgetting how fiddly those roll film holders are... OK, really, everything about the Graflex is fiddly when you don't use it much.
Then we went to a local park with three of us packing medium format... a Rolleiflex, a Yashicamat, and a Konica Pearl.
Most of the film got shot up in a day, and I finished off the Pearl on Monday (16 exposures... what luxury)

I bought the cheapest instant coffee I could find (ColCafe), some Arm and Hammer washing soda (a monohydrate, apparently, and readily available in the US), and some Vitamin C tablets.
I then dug up the Caffenol Bible and found a recipe... and realized a) that's a lot of coffee per roll... and b) I'm going to have to crush up how many Vitamin C tablets per 1 l batch? (21)

It was at this point that my nephew made a sandwich in the toaster oven... with my scale sitting on top... <sigh>
After scraping the scale off the toaster oven with a spatula and ordering a new scale from Amazon, I decided to wait a few days to try... and to order some Vitamin C powder...

So, four rolls of film, a new scale, and some Vitamin C later, I'm ready to go... one roll of expired (2010) Tri-X and three rolls of Delta 100.

I load the first two rolls into my Patterson three-roll tank, using "Patterson-Compatible" reels. It seems to do OK, with a few moments of "did that actually go all the way on?"
Caffenol smells like, well, cheap coffee and mud...
Here's the first results...
Graflex Series D 4x5 with "8" Rollfilm back (6x8), Kodak #33 Anastigmat 7.5 inch (190mm)
Expired Tri-X @100 ISO developed in Caffenol CL 70 min stand @ 20C-ish
Scanned with the K1ii and FA50mm Macro
As a note, the negs were dense, but very usable... and I need a new mask for the light box... but focusing on film grain using live view is really cool...
Also, the film wasn't stained much by the coffee, which I'd heard is sometimes a problem.

This one just has that mid-century look, I think...like it was taken with a 90 year-old camera...



I want to say this one was at 1/10 s wide open... that's as slow as the camera will go apart from "T". And I just missed the focus... dangit...
There were also a few creases from loading the film poorly...

Shot the same week as the ones a few places up... but a different camera...

Konica Pearl II 645 with Hexar 75mm f4.5 lens (the slow one)
Delta 100 @ 100, Caffenol CL, 70 min stand development @ 20 C
Scanned with K1ii and FA 50mm f2.8

Man this lens looks like it is shooting things in the 50s... I love it...





And yes, this is the same beach seen in Baywatch (2017) and SpongeBob Squarepants 2 (2015)...
