- Developing film has always something I've wanted to try after I started getting into film photography and after finally buying everything I needed to start, I decided to make a video about it!! The scans weren't great (probably because i used a laptop screen as my light table) but this was a cool experience and I'm excited to develop more!
Camera used to film this video:
Sony a6300
Sigma 30mm f/1.4

Good brother, thanks for the video. But......invest in a decent dedicated scanner, and it's ok to edit the color on those images to what we see with the naked eye. Aside from that, again thanks...and keep on shooting.
Yea I'm going to invest in one soon!! As of right now, i'm just using my camera to do the scans (I know, it's the worst) while using a light table as my light source.
Watching through the 35mm processing, I'm confused, in that he seems to have a 2nd step of blix (which is a mix of bleach and fixer), but then his 3rd step is fixer, which should be unnecessary here. I think there is one kit which separates the blix into two steps, bleach followed by fixer, so that may be what's happening here, but then there is no wash after the "fixer". Best guess: What he calls fixer is actually the "stabilizer" used in most C-41 kits. If so, that would not explain his bad results overall. I suspect the problems were in the film exposure, not the processing.
Randall Stewart thanks for watching my video man!! I appreciate it!! And yea you’re right, i meant stabilizer not fixer but I’m very new to developing film. I can’t remember if the 35mm was from my point and shoot or if it was my Canon F1 but it was a “trash” roll that I developed so that if I did mess up I wouldn’t have cared too much. Thanks for commenting man!!
That really sucks for the 35mm.. after all that effort.. luckily that 120 roll worked out for you. btw if you ever shoot in black and white, I highly recommend you give cinestill df96 monobath a try. It’s all in one solution (no need for separate developer, fixer etc). Very forgiving in temperature and the whole process only takes like 3-4 minutes in total (and +15 seconds every time you reuse the solution). The only downside is that it produces a more grain compared to regular developer. But it’s really worth a try when you starting in developing your own film.
Franklin yea it’s alright though. I needed to practice so I saw it as a positive. And I have shot B&W yet (I am wanting to though) so I might look into getting your recommendation. To be honest, I haven’t developed film in a while bc I haven’t been too happy about the results but I still do it from time to time!
Yea definitely look into it if you have the chance, it’s so easy it’s unbelievable! That probably will encourage you to develop more on your own.. It is reusable up to 16 times and it costs only $10.. major savings in developinggg
