haha just transparent =P total failer haha

My guess...developed film all frames transparent => film not exposed.
What camera were you using? What could have gone wrong?

 

[bahibo]

mean no image on it ah , so sad . If u do all 3 important step Develop, stop , fix then should have image on it unless u mess up the developing time and temperature or mix chemical wrong ? How about provide the information of what film u do , chemical ,temperature , time , we see what's wrong

 

[bahibo]

or crazier , u forget to fix I think cant be, should be Super underdevelope , or wrong temp and time ?

film 400tmax

then add fixer 300ml soulution in 1.5L bottle <-- how sure how much to use actually about 5-7min

Ur chemical mix sound strange :bsmilie: I think ur problem is this : Tmax not strong to use dilution 1:100 like HCC-110 , thus if u mix like that, i think time u put like 1hour instead 12min dont know got photos or not . Next time please mix 1:4 or 1:5 and try again. And u should mix 375ml for 1 roll , dont pour the chemical in until the tank full. :sweat: So please dont mix 5ml w 500ml using Tmax developer , it's not the Kodak developer that Street shooter used.

 

[bahibo]

Note, i said t-max refering to Tmax developer, not the film

 

[kebeye]

ahah THANKS +D will try again on this roll haha
what about fixer?? the amount i use should be alright??

 

[bahibo]

fixer i dont know which one u using ? Ilford ? I think mix 1:4 also Depend which type, first time dont need to mix one big bottle , just do 375ml to try 1 roll first . Remember to compensate temp and time, best is try 20c or 24c first.

 

[kebeye]

using Ilford rapid fixer. can re-use =P

 

[bahibo]

yup, can reuse, mix 1:4 also. Fix more than 3min, best is fix 5min,less purple colour

 

[sweat100]

You said the negatives was totally transparent. Is all the film coding intact? If it is, that means developing is correct and you may not have load ur film propery. If it is totally transparent, it means that your film giving some problems.

 

[kebeye]

haha sweat100 you are right, i didnt load the film correctly haha found out when i loaded my 2nd roll haha =P anyway gonna try the 2nd roll now =D

 

[bahibo]

when i think about it, may be u can use tmax at dilution 1:100 But that's one i never know before......................

 

[kebeye]

o my crappy i use 1:4 375ml die die again haha see how it comes out

 

[kebeye]

hahahha ok at least i got something come out now. butttttt its the opposite now haha too over develop haha i think to much developer and too long haha =X well thats the fun thing about developing =D

 

[bahibo]

if use 1:4 remember not 12min
