Holy fuck. It actually worked.

Expected to fuck up the first attemp if i'm honest, but it came out beautifully (at least imo)

Kodak T-Max 100 expired 2008 shot at 64iso Semi-stand developed in Rodinal.

First time. How?? that never happens to people on this subreddit.

Must've been all my sacrifices to the photography gods lmao

This is addictive, I can already tell.

1) Load film into your developing reel and inside the tank in a black bag. (won't go through this since there's hundreds of tutorials online).

2) Pre-wash with water, agitate, then pour down the drain. Do this 3-5 times.

3) Mix rodinal 1+100 dilution thorougly and ensure it's at 20°c.

4) Pour rodinal into developing tank and agitate for 1 minute.

5) Tap tank on countertop to ensure no bubbles are left on the film.

6) leave to sit for 30 minutes (have some tea or something).

7) After 30 mins is up, agitate for another minute and tap the tank on the countertop again to dislodge any bubbles.

8) leave for another 30 mins.

9) After the 2nd 30 mins is up, pour the developer down the drain.

10) Rinse thouroughly with water as with step 2.

11) Mix Fixer thoroughly, Ilford rapid fixer at 1+4 dilution.

12) Pour fixer into the developing tank and agitate constantly for 3-5 minutes. (I used 5 mins with the TMax as I had heard it needs longer fixing time than other film stocks)

13) Once the time is up for the fixer, put it back into a plastic bottle that you have rinsed with water beforehand to ensure no contamination. (dont put back into concentrated fixer bottle)

14) Rinse with water again as with step 2, this time using 5 inversions for the first rinse, 10 for the 2nd, and 20 for the 3rd.

15) Once you have rinsed the film out, you can open the developing tank.

16) Continue rinsing, and add 2ml Ilfotol wetting agent to the tank.

17) Once the wetting agent is applied, remove your film from the reel inside the tank and rinse it off under the tap.

18) Unravel your film and hang it up to dry with your drying clips, one on the top which it is hanging from, one on the bottom to keep it from rolling back onto itself while drying.

19) Use film squeegee from top to bottom to get most of the water off.

20) leave to dry in a dust-free environment for 15-30 mins.

21) Cut up film, scan it, and store it in binder once dried.

I may have been overly cautious in some of these stages, but it seemed to work so i'm going to stick with them lol
