Camera: Pentacon six tl

Lens: Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm f/2.8

Film: FP4+ 120 6x6 developed in XT-3

A few sample scans and photos of the positives

​

For exposure I've shoot it at iso 200 (1 stop over)

​

For development:

First development (developed for iso 400) with rodinal 1:25 20°C, first minute constant agitation then 15 seconds every minute, developed for 5.5 minutes

I've then rinsed the film and prepared bleaching solution: 400ml 3% hydrogen peroxide and 15 ml 10% vinegar

Then I've put distilled water into the film tank and put it into warming bath alongside bleaching solution and another container filled with distilled water (important later). My goal temperature was 40°C for all solutions, it took around 40 minutes for them to reach it (long and steady warming to avoid emulsion damege from sudden temperature change.

I've bleached for 24 minutes, with 20 seconds agitation every minute in a 40°C water bath

Poured out bleach and pourd in distilled water (40°C), and put the tank into a cooling bath (again to aviod emulsion damage from sudden temp change)

After cooling to 25°C rinsed the film

Unspooled film and reexposed via cold, white light bulb

Reespoled film and did second dev the same way as first reusing working solution

Rinsed, fixed and did final rinse

​

Overoll I'm happy with the results, positives are not as contrasty as I've hoped and there seems some artefacts (halos around objects)

​

Might try to modify the process a bit to see if I can increase the contrast and get rid of the artefacts
