Description

Development and processing for a single roll of black-and-white film, 35mm or 120/220.

Sample images are scans of Eastman Double-X developed in 510-Pyro, Analog Amsterdam NOW100 developed in Rodinal 1+50 and Eastman Double-X (+2, 800 ISO) developed in D-96.


Development

  • I recommend using D-96 for any cine stocks (Double-X 5222, Cinestill bwXX, Orwo UN54, Ferrania P30, etcetera). I formulate it myself: you can also buy the developer if you want to DIY it 🙂
  • If you’re into darkroom printing, 510-Pyro is a staining developer, which works wonders for your prints.
  • By default I dilute Rodinal 1+25 and HC-110 to Dilution B. All the other developers are used stock.
  • If you have any special requests (for example a custom developer dilution, or an analog contact sheet from the darkroom), please send me a mail first via the contact form so we can work out the details.

Scanning

  • Standard 35mm scans are 2000dpi (6MP, 2000×3000) 16-bit TIFF files from a Nikon Coolscan, downscaled from 4000dpi.
    • If you want the full 4000dpi (24MP, 4000×6000) files from a standard scan, add a note (it’s free!). Keep in mind: a full roll of 16-bit TIFFs at 2000dpi is 1.2GB, but a full roll at 4000dpi is 4.8GB of pixels!
  • 120/220 film is always scanned on an Epson V750 flatbed in 2400dpi (44MP, 5500×8000 for 6×9).
    • Scanning 220 film will have an additional €5 fee added to your order.

Processing

  • Negatives are cut into strips of 6 and stored in transparent minilab sleeving by default. 35mm can additionally be stored in a ring binder perforated ADOX Adofile sleeve for €0,50.
  • Less than 6 frames per strip is possible as well, with a minimum of 4. If you don’t need scans and come to pick up your negatives I can also leave the roll uncut, but I won’t ship uncut rolls due to risk of damage.

Notes

  • Ship your rolls to the address listed on the Contact page. Make sure to note your order number somewhere.
  • Scans from Nikon Scan are really sharp (moreso than from regular lab scanners) but also have noticable grain. If you don’t like grain, you can use Lightroom’s noise reduction on your scans for excellent results.
  • If you’re into cinefilms, Analog Amsterdam sells Double-X, which happens to be my personal favourite black-and-white film!
