Experiment with Ilford XP2 (C41) developed in Rodinal

[gsgary]

Why did your club members not want the film because it should be developed in C-41 process? Cost or other?

The last few years I shot BW film this is what I used, saved me time in the darkroom. I'd drop the film off to a local lab and not have prints made, worked out OK for me. Of course I was just doing amateur stuff, so I didn't have any problems with the results.

They dont want to use labs + cost

Seems you can develop just about anything in Rodinal.....BW film...C41 film....Kodachrome....

without dye coupling, you pretty much just have a b/w negative with inactive dyes. In the case of kodachrome, I think that the dye is applied after the exposure.

... I wonder if you could develop in rodinal, couple with peroxide, bleach with ferricyanide?

DIY C41?

Ive been given about 20 rolls of out of date color film 1999/95 ektar 25/100/1000, fuji superia, Fuji 400 NPH so i could try Rodinal with these ?

It'd be interesting to try to make your own C41 chemistry using rodinal. C41 developer is so mushy, it'd be interesting to see color rodinal!

Unfortunately I don't understand dye coupling at all.

...huh, now I'm off in wikipedia land, may have discovered a way to use silver acetate as precursor to it's own developer.... weird.
