[Frameworks] D-19 testing

[John Woods]

That 110 reel is nice but buying it is going to cost more than buying another bag of Kodak D-19.Why don't you just have your chemistry in buckets or bottles and do dunk processing of your test strips? Do it all in the dark and save the time of loading that tank. Or you can just stuff your film in your 35mm tank.Since these are tests you don't really have to worry about scratching the film.

Hi all,

I've pretty much got the conventional D-19 process down now (as taken from the darkroom cookbook). Now I feel it's time to experiment a little. I want to shoot one roll of 16mm film with the same subject matter/ lighting/ cam settings etc.. and then take sections of that film (5ft or so at a time) and develop them individually using different D-19 combinations. 

The problem is I want to develop with very small quantities of D-19. So I want to develop in standard photographic 35mm paterson tanks and not my massive lomos (which requires lots of chemistry). As far as I know there are no small developing tanks to develop 16mm tests. Is there? Does anyone have any information on how or where I could get my hands on such tester tanks to develop very short lengths of film well? Or if possible, how to modify a photographic 35mm developing tank to do some tests in. 

All the best
Kevin
