New to film!

Hello I am learning to develop film and I had a question I wanted to see there was a universal temp and time for film. I didn't know if you needed the box the film came in to see how long it takes and what temp. I had some film that I lost the box to and I didn't know if there was a chart tell you how long you need to develop it.

Try looking here! On the left side, select your film type and then developer.

Hope this helps!

If you have an iPhone, iPod touch or ipad download the massive dev chart app.

some of us don't use that feature.

I downloaded it to my phone to use in class to speed up looking for times for a various film types. We have a printed version but I haven't up graded it in a long time, and it is just too large for all that ink and paper.

You can also often find detailed information on the websites of the film and developer manufacturers. The guys at Kodak, for example, tend to do more rigorous, standardized testing of film/developer combinations than most contributors to The Massive Dev Chart. You should regard all times as just a starting point, to be revised to suit your own technique as you gain experience in the use of the film/developer combination.

What film and developer are you using?

Never had that problem, I use the app every time I develop. The only thing I would like to see in the app is update it so that it has a native iPad interface.

Sounds like a personal problem.

They might have fixed it because it was well known

It is a good starting point but don't get too attached to it. Developing film is very much a personal experience. Manufacturer recommendations or massive chart may give you fair results for start, but you are here for something much better than that and you can get there mostly by own experimentation. So, if something would go wrong in the beginning don't get upset, analyze (we can help) and adjust.
