FWIW I found these original instructions online: http://etienne.collomb.free.fr/morseg3/morseg3.html Ed -----Original Message----- From: lindsay mcintyre Sent: Apr 20, 2018 5:05 PM To: Experimental Film Discussion List Subject: Re: [Frameworks] Developing Tanks for 16mm Hi Rob, In the G3 tank I've used several developers - these numbers are per 100ft of 16mm - if I loaded 150-200 ft on the reel I would increase the times.  2L of each solution at room temp - might need more for 35mm.  Its important to make sure that you are winding emulsion OUT at least half the time.  I've done it many times with other timings as well, based on the temperature of the solution or whether the film was underexposed.  It always seems to work pretty well. D76 for 7222  dev 12 min (usually takes 1 minute to wind from head to tail so 12 winds) wash 6 min rapid fix 6-7 min wash 7 mins D19 for 7363, 7231 and most other B+W stocks dev 5-7 mins wash 5 mins rapid fix 5-6 mins wash 7 mins Best,  Lindsay McIntyre On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 9:24 AM, Rob Gawthrop <r...@robgawthrop.co.uk> wrote: Hi Lindsay What developer & dilution do you use? I’ve been getting rather poor results and it takes ages.

I think depending on your developer, it can be about 12 minutes of winding.  Lindsay On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 3:11 PM, Scott Dorsey <klu...@panix.com> wrote: I'm saying the results will be so uneven that you'll have long sections that aren't developed at all.  A five-gallon bucket will do garbage can development of 100 ft of 16mm well enough that, although it'll be severely uneven, it'll at least be developed all the way through.  Folks used to do motion analysis films that way. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
