32 Kodak Panatomic X
« on: March 15, 2014, 03:20:49 PM »
Good Saturday morning/afternoon to you all.

While digging through my stash of old film, I found a roll of Kodak Panatomic X 32.
I know it's old, because the last year it was made was 1987...
so I would like an idea of what to develop it in?  I haven't shot it yet and will probably do the 1 stop per decade trick or something like that, but what soup does it need to be dunked in?

thanks all!

Oh thanks!
I saw some chat on APUG and photo net, but nothing good with dilutions and times.
Gonna give it a spin tomorrow!

Thanks mucho!

I just went through the Lab Handbook and found these times for Panatomic-X in both 35mm and Professional 120

Despite my relative newcomer status to the world of home-developing, I've found this to be true across the board. Rodinal 1:100 for an hour works for color, B&W, old, new, anything.

Looks like a good recipe for all purpose developing...   Thanks!    :)

Since I have never used stand developing, I have a question about it....

do you need to maintain the temperature throughout the time, or do you just let it "cool" down as it goes?
Thanks again everyone!

I just use cold tap water, temperature is not as critical as regular developing.  The following link is a great tutorial for it.

Thanks!
This is perfect and answered some of my other questions about stand developing.

Now to give it a try after I shoot that roll of Panatomic X next week.
Wish me luck!

Funny, I do it exactly how that blog recommends ... but I'm glad I didn't find it before stand developing myself, I much preferred my own trial-and-(not too much) error! 8)
