- An in depth look at developing 16mm film in a lomo tank.
For some odd reason most of the 50 foot reel is missing from this video so I have uploaded it separately
• 16mm EXR 50D Developed...
You can buy the developer here ntphotoworks.c...
this really makes me appreciate the people who develop film. Fascinating process!
Cool demonstration, and even more helpful was your trick to scan the film with the projector, I just got an Eiki NT-0 so thank you for the idea 😁!
Yes great demo. The Eiki projector also must have a 5-blade shutter. Otherwise you will have horizontal lines in the video image and picture distortion. The correct voltage LED lamp can simply plug directly into original socket, no need to modify. Also need a piece of diffuser glass in front of LED lamp.
Thanks for the video demonstration. I never saw color film developed in a Lomo tank.
Michael Carter You're very welcome. It came out much better than expected and I have uploaded another extended film test because the one at the end of this video was cut short somehow.
thanks for the video. btw i wasnt prepared for the strategic irn bru case shot, got me laughing a bit
detailed, really appreciate all of your effort with this video!!!
thanks for this video
Thanks for the video might have to buy one of these tanks when i get the chance
Really interesting.Thanks.
Hey thanks for the detailed video. Would this work for 500T super 8 film as well?
nice stash of iron-bru
Wondering if you’d be able to process a roll of 16mm film with badly damaged perforations?
thank you! great guide!
hey shaun, do you know what exactly the 16mm adapter is doing? ive got a lomo tank but it didnt come with a black piece, only 2 clear screw caps that fit onto the top piece - wonder if they work the same?
what about writing down the recipes of the chemichals?
I have another video about making the bleach and fixer.
Hi Shaun, great video, very informative, thanks. Just wondering if you can clear something up for me. Am I right in thinking that you're using negative film and not reversal film? And if so, when you get to the end of this developing process, would you not end up with a negative image rather than a positive one? But yet the scanned image you show at the end is positive... Still trying to wrap my head around the whole process before my Lomo tank arrives later this week. Cheers, Tom
If it is negative, once scanned it's very very easy to reverse it digitally.
Hi! What a perfect video! I've started this analog filmclub with some friends and we got a lomo tank from Siberia! But we can't seem to find what chemicals we have to use for developing old Kodachrome? Can you help us on that? Thanks
I don't know anything about developing kodachrome.
@@ShaunDobbie I'm guessing it's top secret!
@@arthurpauwelyn5045 It's just that producing the chemicals was a specialised process done by kodak and they don't do it anymore.
you rule! thanks for this,, any plans to do more movie film developing or movie film related videos?
Thanks, sadly I have stopped film in order to focus on electronics.
Have you ever developed color 16mm film in the lomo tank? If so do you use just a standard E6 developer kit?
Hello Shaun, have you ever developed 100 foot? Does the developing time change with a larger amount of film?
Andre Hauck it shouldn’t development times don’t change unless the chemicals are old or you’re pushing/pulling. The only variable is the amount of chemicals
how do you develop 100ft of 16mm? do you cut/splice it in the dark?
Yes
@@ShaunDobbie how did you cut the 100ft into 50ft? did you do it precisely? or did you lose a frame? resplice it?
@@spedslojp3353 I lost a frame and I used a splicer to make the cut.
Shaun Dobbie hi, how do you splice it? Before putting it in the Lomo tank?
do you think the entire process can switch to dark room? without the lomo tank but use the chemicals and dark room tray.
Yes, but there must be absolutely no light, not even the red safelight. If you develop 16mm film just by chucking it in a tray you will get very poor results.
Why RA-4 developer for film?
It is the closest thing to ecn2 when ecn2 is not available.
Fussy about in the dark. Needs daylight practice. This is interesting since I shoot for hobby, and Kodachrome no longer exists.
Hi Shaun! Thank you for the video! Great tips!! I just wanted to know how you prepare the stop bath with citric acid. What are the proportions? czcams.com/video/nBN1cqQPLOg/video.html
Did this test and looking forward in improving my developing skills. Thank you so much!!
