[Frameworks] Developing Tanks for 16mm

[Rob Gawthrop]

Hi Lindsay

What developer & dilution do you use? I’ve been getting rather poor results and it takes ages.

Thanks

Rob

They're not as good for reversal processes, particularly if you are using permanganate bleach (even with the little exposure window) but for negative work they are great.  The process involves winding back and forth to achieve even processing and takes longer than say bucket processing, which is what I do now, but the G3 tanks have always worked well for me. I think depending on your developer, it can be about 12 minutes of winding.
