Better than Ansell, boy I'd like to see some of these great prints.

:laugh:. I used to take those backpacking in the '60's.

Anyway, that is actually pretty close to good technique for Technidol.

It was developed in Holy Water. It's not the agitation.

What a CRAZY way to develop film! ;)

Better than AA... wow... you must be very proud. ;)

I develop my film with an electric vibrating paint mixer mounted on a 78rpm record player, which is bolted onto an old Chevy V8 engine that is out of balance and has a dead cylinder. I can develop a roll of 35mm in 48 seconds.

Yeah, but is it better than Ansel Adams?

That's an interesting rig. I use trays, and I've fastened the tray to the cone of a subwoofer consisting of an 18" driver in a one cubic yard box. You can determine how your pictures look by the music you play into the subwoofer.
I'm working on an agitator for 35mm, it will be a film tank fastened to the connecting rod of a Fairbanks-Morse YZ engine.
