[Frameworks] Film Woes

[Kelsey Velez]

Hi Frameworks Friends.

I shot about 7 rolls of b&w reversal in Florida and New Mexico over the
past year, a lot of it I’m very very excited about. Unfortunately my
primate brain forgot to take it all out of my backpack at security in
Dallas and it passed through a new high-powered X-ray scanner. The officer
I asked said my film would be “obliterated”.

At worst I thought my footage would come out foggy considering it’s fairly
slow (200 iso), but while processing one of the less favorable rolls I’m
coming to the conclusion that either, yes, my film is obliterated or my
ratios/timing are off. My film is coming out clear.

X-ray? Bleach not diluted enough? Too long in the developer?

I’d like to know before I continue processing this roll so I can decide
whether to keep going or send it in for processing at a lab.

I’m using a gallon of water to most of a liter of developer. I used double
the ratio of 1g to 250ml of potassium permanganate and 13.5g to 250ml of
sodium bisulfate.

Any help or advice is appreciated!!!
