RE: Tips on Film Development temps
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Delano Mireles With the onset of summer here in Texas I find myself having a difficult time controlling the temperature of my developing chemicals and so I come to y'all (Like I said - I'm from Texas) for any tips on keeping your soup at a consistent temp. Well, first thing you need is a tempering bath, and maybe a good supply of ice cubes. 2nd thing would be an air conditioner. Or do you have swamp coolers down there? #rd, increase your processing temperature. The standard temp is 68, don't be afraid to move up to 75. That's 7 degress you don't have to worry about. tv -- Thomas Van Veen Photography www.bigdayphoto.com 301-758-3085 - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

I presume you are processing BW, as colour goes pretty warm. The best way for tropical processing is to cool the chemistry to processing temperature in a refrigerator and use a water bath to keep the temperature constant during processing. Ice can be used in the water bath to cool it, as required. This may not help much for paper processing, but temperature is not quite so critical for paper as it is for film.

Re: Tips on Film Development temps
Thanks, Tom. I have the bath but I just have a difficult time dialing it in at around 68 degrees. Sometimes I overshoot and get it down to 62 and then have a hard time getting it back up without overshooting. Then again, I'm probably not being patient enough :-) Thanks again, Delano on 6/12/02 12:03 PM, tom at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Delano Mireles With the onset of summer here in Texas I find myself having a difficult time controlling the temperature of my developing chemicals and so I come to y'all (Like I said - I'm from Texas) for any tips on keeping your soup at a consistent temp.

Re: Tips on Film Development temps
Bill, Thanks for the suggestion. I had not thought about using the fridge to cool the chemistry. Now I just need to get clearance from my wife :-) Delano on 6/12/02 12:57 PM, William Robb at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: Delano Mireles With the onset of summer here in Texas I find myself having a difficult time controlling the temperature of my developing chemicals and so I come to y'all (Like I said - I'm from Texas) for any tips on keeping your soup at a consistent temp.
