On a recent flea-market I bought a Revue 35CC with some Film inside for very, very little money. The camera had a stuck shutter, so I took the half exposed film out and cleaned the camera. Fresh batteries and voila, the little Revue is alive again. I developed the film in caffenol (what else), a Kodak Gold 200.
Because of the really bad weather, we had no chance to do our caffenol astroshooting. So instead of going shooting, we mixed up some developer and spent the last days with developing and scanning film. So hold on, we will post some more stuff soon.
There is not so much happening here at the moment, because I have bought too many cameras in the last weeks and need to finish all the films.
But I am quite excited about one event that will take place next week. We will head towards Sudelfeld and shoot at about 1700 meters height. And will shoot the stars. Mostly digital Cameras will be used, but I will take some analog equipment with me to shoot star trails throough the whole night. And to add some crazyness, I will of course then develop the whole lot of films in caffenol.
I have a fair amount of Kodak Professional Portra 160 NC (Neutral Color) but never tried it out. Having still the Hartblei Tilt-Shift on my Canon 3000N, I thought I should give it go. And low ISO film always comes out great in Caffenol. Here are the results: Those strange Read more…
As said in the last post, it was time for a new film, the HP5 Plus from Ilford. Carefully exposed with my trusty Canon 3000N, crazily shot with a 65mm Super Rotator from Hartblei. Developed using the Delta Recipe . Let the pictures speak for themselves: As you can see, the film Read more…
As I am pretty confident with Ilford Delta Professional 400 now, let’s switch to another Film, which is quite popular in the B&W scene as well: Ilford HP5 Plus 400 As I want to ensure to have correct exposure on my first Roll, I decided to use my Canon EOS Read more…
Here is the result of developing an instant film in Caffenol. The Film is a Polaroid PolaPan 35mm: I first tried if the Filmleader would clear in fixer and threw it in Ilford Radpid Fixer 1:4. The emulsion (which is quite thick) separates from the Film base, and that’s it. Read more…
Well, you can develop every kind of film in Caffenol (a B&W process, that is) as long as it contains silver. So why not push that to the extreme and use an expired ISO 1600 Film and develop it in Caffenol.Well, you can develop every kind of film in Caffenol (a B&W process, that is) as long as it contains silver.

My Favourite B&W Film is Ilford Professional Delta 400 for the moment. I really like the grain shape of this film: soft and round. Whenever I plan to do Caffenol Development, I overexpose the Film by 1/2 or stop, but that’s just me. As usual on negative film: Expose for Read more…
