[QUOTE="F & F2 Man, post: 551492, member: 9463"] Desperate to use my Nikon F2 that I acquired about a month ago, as I am waiting for my SS check so I can buy some more BW film, I found a roll of Kodak Ultramax 400... Since I won't pay even the $2.99 to get it developed at a local store, I decided to try cross processing in BW developer, I googled it and found this very useful blog [url=http://darkshape.blogspot.com/2011/12/49-guide-to-developing-c-41-films-in-b.html]Darkshape's Photography Blog: 49: Guide to Developing C-41 films in B&W Chemistry (Kinky Cross-Processing)[/url] The 4 main main points that lead to success [LIST=1] [*]HC110 B or D76 straight or 1:1 are good developers to use [*]ISO of the color film does not matter for cross processing (as C41) [*]Develop using HP5+ 400 times (can add 5-10% if wanted) [*]Over Expose the Color film for better results (I go 1 stop) [/LIST] Scanning was so so, Some of negatives were too dark, (there are dark anyway, the orange mask doesn't help) I did scan as 16bit BW though with my V700, Maybe I should scan as a color negative? A few negatives the scanner could not find the edges, so it scanned dead center between 2 negatives.. (I use the Epson holders because they are coded to auto scan batch negatives to detect the film frames).
