Developing film temperatures

[sanfong]

Hi.

Can share how you maintain the recommended temperature for the chemicals?

Or did u do some maths to match tap water temperature?

get a big basin, fill with water and ice, pull all your plastic graduate, bottles with chemicals in the basin....... and wait

Of course, you'll also need the mandatory thermometer

Just a thermometer and a jug of ice water, next to a tap. Add some cold water, measure, add more cold water or tap water, repeat. After a few tries, you'll be surprised how fast you can get to the aim point. Rarely you'll need to spend too much time waiting. Temperature tolerance for b/w films is pretty forgiving, so +- 1 deg C is fine.
