Surprisingly nice results from slide film... I think I'll try and use the old stuff I have left on the shelf that way when I finally get my lab in order...

As for dishes, there is one in the next town. Only problem is it's heavily guarded since it's linked to the control center for the International Space Station :)

Gosh, I'm pleasantly surprised!  What chemicals did you use?  I would have thought it would have yielded something more muddy.  I agree with Francois, and perhaps give this a try on my old E6 4x5 stock!  Thanks for sharing this!!

How long? I want to guess how it compares to other B&W films...

I keep checking back to see if there's any update here.  I too would love to know how to go about determining development times.   Pls do share, if you're able!   :)

Pretty much the same thing here... I guess it was developed for the "I've had enough" duration :)

Or maybe it was the "my arm hurts" time... very variable :)

Sorry guys, been crazy busy with a show, and teaching.

as I recall the development time was 5 minutes or maybe 5  1/2 minutes.
I'll dig out the instruction sheet if you like.  Diluted 1:1

It was developed as if it were Tri-x 100.
