I have a Paterson tank that holds 3 spirals so it is only 5 lots of processing - a couple of hours at most -- no probs -- wish I had so much un-processed film !

hi pete

i sometimes to 3 tanks at a time and stagger their start times ....
the tanks hold 3 35mm reels and 1 - 1 reel tank ...
sadly most of the film is 120 so it might be 2 (120) and 1 ( 35 )
car trouble today so it might not get done till later tonight or tomorrow night
kids to mind so i can't really escape till they are sawing logs and by that time i am beat :wink:

maybe i will wait until september ---
its expired and exposed, what could go wrong :wink:

If you are careful, you can get two rolls of 120 on one reel. (the Jobo tanks actually have a small red clip for that purpose.) So you could run 4 120 and 1 35.

Yes- I get TWO 120 rolls into a Paterson spiral -- I wind the first round with my hand until it comes to a stop right inside then load the next one and tear off the attaching strip leaving it sticking out slightly

you guys are like in a wild west show :wink:

i'd like to do that, but i have metal reels,
besides i have another few rolls to process ...
probably won't do it all for a month
and i will have about 50 or 60 more by that time :wink:

.
I found two rolls of Ektar 25 !
{ Also bought an Ektar 25 magazine advertisement }
A few years ago I shot some 25 that was frozen for years.
The results were spectacular !
Similar to a Claude Monet Impressionistic painting.
I promptly placed these two rolls in the freezer.

I finally bought a scanner this week, eventually I will find the film and share the results ... hopefully.

well, all the film was processed ... i think about 30 rolls and 2-3 sheets in all.
some of the rolls were old expired color film i processed as b/w in caffenol+ansco130
others were plain old expired film. some was about 10years after the exp date, others maybe 5 years out of date.
i have really grown fond of split processing sumatranol130 with ansco130 ... it gives a nice pleasing result.
