With this last test roll of Fuji Color Superia, I think I figured out why the Annapolis were so light. I first though it had something to do developing two rolls at once, but it was something simpler. The chemistry was weakened from the first development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not as bad at the beginning and end of the roll, but the middle frames suffered the most from lack of developer. However, all of them were thinner than they should have been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the hardest to save. They’re very dark, and adjustments make the grain unbearable. I did, however, managed to get something useful out of these<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to the end of the roll, we’re starting to get a bit better. The ends are still thin, but not as bad as the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I need to develop longer to compensate for the weakened developer. I went back and re-read the instructions. It states that a 2% increase in time needs to be added to account for chemistry exhaustion. I think it should be a bit longer judging by the previous results. I’ll have to experiment more to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
