Mixed up my first Litre of Cine Still’s DF96 Mono bath last night. Having shot my two rolls of Double X at ISO 800 I mixed up the chemicals using water heated to 90 degrees F. This is the approximate temperature recommended by Cine Still for development at ISO 800. It took less than five minutes to mix and it was ready to use. Pouring the developer into the tank and using constant yet gentle agitation over the four minute time recommended for the first roll in freshly mixed developer. After which a five minute wash completes the process making sure to replace the water in the tank at least five times while washing. And voila the negative’s density looked perfect to my eye and very contrasty (not surprising having shot at ISO 800). Lets see how they scan this weekend.
