Hi Murray, Someone posted a while back in alt-photo-list some instructions for developing chromes in BW developers. I gave it a try and it really works, I didn't like the results for ZP, but they work grat for lens photo and PH. Here is what I'm doing: Film Provia Rated iso: 1250 (if you want better shadow details try iso 800) water bath for 3 minutes at 26oC develop in D-76 at 26oC for 16 min, continuos agitation the first 30 sec and after that 5 sec each 30. Stop and fix the usual way. wash for 20 min (the negatives will be very dark, almost unprintable. Bleach in a regular sepia toner bleach wash another 20 min dry (DO NOT USE PHOTO FLO) take the film to you local lab and have the film redeveloped in C-41 (that's the dificult part, they will tell you the film is already developed, so you'll have to insist) The result will be a negative with huge grain and strong colors.
Have fun Joao Murray wrote: > Anyone experimented with push-processing b/w film to higher ISO speeds, for > faster shutter speeds?
