Excellent video. I really appreciate how you methodically took time to show every step. I wish during the agitation you didn't speed it up, maybe until the 3rd one. Great video. No fluff just great instructions.

I use Df96 for sheet film as its cheaper in the long run than using a different developer as ive done up to 40-45 sheets of 4x5. So I get longer life out of this than any other developer for sheet film and it saves me money in the end. Since I dont have my own scanner for 4x5 as only the $899-1000 scanners seem to offer 4x5 its cheaper to just take 40 negs to my local photo shop and scan them for $8.00 for all 40. Keeps large format affordable for me.

Great channel - subscribed today. I’m on my third bottle of Df96 monobath. Love the fact that I can develop 2 different film stocks at the same time. Thanks for posting!

Great video, thank you! It’s been +20 years since I last developed film; I’m curious as to how the two film reels differ - I thought all film reels are a ratchet-type (auto?) system. Also, do you have a video that shows in greater detail, how to load 120 film?

Thanks for the instructions, is there any need to have a mask or something like that for the chemical? Also I was curious to see the images you developed in the video, do you have an instagram?

+Vorticity Productions the photos scanned in this video will be up in another video soon, about taking long exposures with film. Typically I don’t use a mask or anything , this monobath is a lot less toxic than the C-41 color chemicals. Gloves may not be the worst idea at least for this.

Is this developer also able to develop the cinematic film (35,16,8 mm) in the same way as the video, and does he also bleach the film, or only development, I am waiting for a response, thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, But everything I seen on other videos and on Cinestill website is the Df96 needs to be 80 degrees and develop for 3 mins. With the exceptions of T grain films like Ilford delta 100 that needs 2x the time. How did you figure 75 degrees for 4 mins? did I miss something on their website???

The water for rinsing must be at around the same temperature as the developer of the film will break. Also the water flow shouldn’t be very strong or the water actually won’t get to the film in the tank.

Good: He points out the poor quality of the Paterson reels, which he seems to have replaced with AP reels. Bad: His washing technique is grossly inadequate, amounting to practically no washing at all if you want to keep your negatives permanently. There is no fresh water flushing over the surface of the film. It's just running into the top of the tank and pouring over the lip into the sink. Also, Kodak recommends a 20 minutes wash for permanent film retention, and they probably know what they are talking about, so at 5 minutes of "wash", you are just washing out the tank, not the film. Also, add a final bath with Photoflo and toss the squeegee, or spend most of your time filling in scratches on your film scans. Overall, a pretty poor collections of processing ideas.

+Smokers Deluxe if the fixer was already put on there then it should be ok you would probably just get some oil from your fingers on it which you can wipe off with a micro fiber cloth. Might introduce some scratches if you aren’t careful though
