I already shared video about developing color negative film and also slide film and finally here is my video about developing black and white film. There are many ways to do it and this is what I've doing since a while and
I had great results over and over again.
Hope you enjoy the episode, see you in the next one! :)

I used to develop film years ago, but thank you for all the reminders. Every question answered.
Thank you I definitely feel more empowered to develop at home. Just shot a roll of hp5 today for the first time in 10 years. Feeling inspired after watching to invest in home developing
I’m developing two rolls of HP5 today myself, glad to see one of my favourite photographers doing the same 😀
All right !! I just developped my first film and it is NEAT ! Thanks a lot.
The best video on youtube to develop film at home! Thanks!!!!
This video is so relaxing and chilled. You make doing this look enjoyable. I've traveled a lot of roads in my 64 years of photography and artwork. Today I use HC-110 developer too. All things considered it's the best for me. I also have abandoned the extreme agitation methods. For decades all anyone used are those little agitator sticks like you demonstrated. I ruined a lot of film with too aggressive agitation.
My developing tank is coming in the mail today. The timing of this video couldn’t have been better.
greatest background music ever!
Thanks! Just got my Paterson kit today with Ilford powders... :) . Bought your Zine 28 around the time you made this video. Good work.
Thanks a lot for the great video.
I really appreciate your efforts, I used the C41 tutorial one to one and it worked perfectly.
Black and white film will be the next project, but that shouldn't be a problem with the tutorial here.
Keep up the good work :)
Thank you! Enjoy trying it out!
Thanks for showing the film loading onto the reel in daylight using a dummy roll. I have a darkroom class tonight and am self-developing my first rolls and was curious how it was done!
I really like your presentation style :)
I do it in the bathroom at night. For travelling or daytime work, I guess the bag is useful.
I like your style ;)
I need to get on this train....
pretty strait forward and no time wasting methods. the negs seemed well developed. would have preferred some to look at some in a light box.
Thanks for the wonderful videos on film photography. I have one question: if I want to overexpose by one stop, what is the difference in end result if I overexpose the film by one stop and then develop it at box speed as opposed to exposing the film at box speed and then push one stop in developing?
Exposure primarily affects the shadows, development primarily affects the highlights.
Hi. A short question. I don't know if I'm there already to develop by myself and have few rolls to do it. As you are located in Germany and I'm in Luxembourg, I wanted to ask if you could recommend any lab that I could send the rolls so they will develop and scan them (few 35, few 120mm). You advice will be greatly appreciated!
Robin, what is the name of the app that you use during this process?
Thank you! Finally somebody made a video what happens inside the dark / changing bag! I personally think it's way too much work compared to the costs of a lab. I pay roughly €5,- to get my photos developed within an hour (C41 that is). With all the tools you need and the amount of time it takes it's just not worth it for me.
It actually takes about 15 mins to develop a roll of C41. If you have two rolls in the tank, then you can develop 2 rolls in 15 mins. It's much quicker than b/w. If you buy a 5 litre kit, it comes to about £0.20/ roll. If you shoot 2-3 rolls a month home developing is the best way to go.
I think you are exaggerating the amount of work and tools necessary. Once you do a dozen of rolls it gets pretty easy and second nature. It’s like cooking :)
There are tons of videos about loading reels by the way. Maybe you outsource your YT search too? 😀
Leaving costs aside, what you miss is the amount of control and experimentation that you can do on your own: choice of developer, developer dilution, duration, agitation scheme, etc... It's all part of the fun.
Way too much work?! LoL! Takes less effort than driving to the lab
I'd like to start developing my HP5 this year. Is this process still your preferred method since this is 3 years old now. Also, can someone explain why it is pushed to 1600? Is it shot at 400 then developed at 1600? Pushing is new to me.
Can you reuse Hc110 for other rolls on the same day? Or do you have to mix up a fresh batch?
Ilford does not recommend to pre-wash because they have a special layer with wetting agent on the film to ensure an even development. With pre washing you will remove this layer which might (!!) lead to uneven development, according to Ilford.
Awesome 👏 video. Do you reuse the developer?
Thank you. No, I am not reusing it.
What is that song you have on during the reel loading?
Do you have the fixer at 20 draftees celcius?
Prewash bw film? All bw films or some bw films?
I don't personally prewash my bw films.
Keep up the good work!
Sina Farhat dame I never pre wash bw film
Only c-41 and e-6 especially 120 to get rid of the green layer
Yeah, I've never pre washed B&W film before. I questioned myself when he said that XD, glad to others do it like me.
I do it for like a minute just to try and get the film to the right temp. Not always, but I consider it good practice.
I’ve never heard of anyone prewashing b&w film before this video.
Why do you pre soak your film? Just curious as so many people, myself included, don't bother with that step.
You don't have too but it doesn't hurt. I try to keep my work flow consistent and when developing 120 film you need to soak it before developing.
Does the fixer need to be the same temp as the developer?
No!
how about washing it after fixer (would even use clearing agent) + wetting agent should always be used with destiled water..otherwise it is useless...
Of course the wetting agent was added to distilled water.
Is that a new version of HC110? The HC110 I have is thick like a syrup.
Was thinking the same, it seems to be less thick but works just the same.
Ken deSantis 500ml and 1l bottles seem to have a different consistence
Great video tutorial👍
I must say tho Whatever you do, NEVER taste fixer
I involuntarily put my finger in my mouth while it was drenched in fixer
It tasted like rotten eggs that have been vomited into a cup of urine (don’t ask)
I gotta ask now... how in the world you know how that taste!? :D
This should be the 69 comment! Thanks dude!
How often could one reuse the fixator?
It depends but half a liter should be good for 5-10 rolls.
I hate changing bags. I just go in my closet
Despite what it says on the box, Ilford HP5+ (and Kodak Tri-X) are 160 asa films (Ansel Adams, Barry Thornton et al) Why not try to get the very best negative possible instead of the very worst. Just a couple of rolls of B&W film in your Leica at optimum asa. Barry Thornton recommends half the box speed developed in Ilford Perceptol 1+2 dilution, this would make an interesting video. Thanks for your content, I am a subscriber.
mamiyapress Interesting, would this then involve overexposing to 160 (and keeping dev times for 400), or pulling it to 160 (thus changing dev time as well)?
I almost never shoot HP5 at box speed and even when I push the film I am overexposing by a stop for best results. 👌
@@aaronwindels5095 Develop it at 160 asa.
@@therealsirrobin Than makes absolutely no sense. If you push film you are Underexposing it which you should never do to negative film. I think I will unsubscribe to keep my sanity.
@@mamiyapress tri-x has been reformulated several times since the days of Ansel, most recently in 2007. In what sense are they “160 ASA films”? If you don’t like the grain of tri-x, shoot a slower film, or tmax.
bruh
I wonder why are you using so much developer for a single film? The number s confused me then I realised you’re using 500ml. Paterson tanks only need 290ml for a single film (9ml of dev)! Who knows, maybe it does something magical …!
