Originally posted by CreationBear Thanks! I have heard of people snipping their roll film into segments so that they could give each strip the proper "N" development time, though I'm afraid that might tax my fine motor skills in total darkness.
Hopefully I can get better at seeing "Zones" and maybe use a development technique (e.g. stand or two-bath) that will give me adequate results for a roll shot in reasonably diverse kinds of light.
I have always wanted to do that, but I think I found the formula to do not worry about N development, or about developing pulled and pushed film. I do stand development, but with this variation: I use Rodinal, and I only put in the jar 3.5 mL of Rodinal per 35mm roll. Then fill the tank with distilled water.3.5mL is all the developer a 35mm roll needs. In the tank, I can put to different rolls, shot at different ASA, or EI. Temperature does not worry me either. I pour the developer and stir for 1 minute and leave it alone for 60 min, or more (since the developer is exhausted, there is no overdevelopment). So far, everything came perfect. I read this somewhere in the internet, and the guy did not recommend this for negatives that will be wet paper printed later on. The sample below is Ilford XP2 400 (a C41 process film) done this way.
