Why not develop in coffee?

Wow! I'll try it tonight and thanks.

I knew there had to be something that would work other than the stinky chemicals.

Carston, thank you for the tip.
I did it! I had an old roll of test shots Mamiya 645AFD, FP4+, Hartblei 45mm Super Rotator lens and then developed it in coffee.



Not a really great picture but I was very happy with the results. I used real (cheap) coffee unlike the tutorial and the tint is the tint of coffee.

I am going to refine the process a bit I think, but it really does work well. Like any staining developer it has very good shadow detail.

Thanks again

Jules

I know this man fairly well as he comes into the camera shop I work at quite often. He lives just down the road from me. A lot of interesting work but he's a bit of an odd duck if you know what I mean Wink
