Kodacolor II C41 cross processing

[Asha]

I've had 3 exposed rolls of kodacolor II film ( one of each format...35mm, 120 and 127) come into my possession.

No wish to pay the excessive lab costs so looking at cross processing at home.

It's a long time since i cross processed anything, the last time being fuji film.

What i need is a baseline time/temp for deving these.....I think I did the fuji at 27°c for about 5mins in LC29

I have both LC29 and Rodinal available this time .....any advice please??

Just to add, the 35mm roll is rated ASA 80.....the others are not marked!

You are developing print film in ordinary b/w chemicals ?

If so......I've got no idea, the cross processing I know is print film in E6 or slide in C41, I wouldn't personally have great expectations from C41 film in LC29 or Rodinal, but I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation..

Ive done C-41 film in Rodinal, be prepared for odd colours,yes colours, Rodinal is a very faint colour developer, i got purple and green when i scanned as a colour negative.

If you look at this Linky they seem to suggest either stand developing it at 1:100 Rodinal at room temperature for 1 hour with a few inversions at 30 minutes, this is similar to what i did with the Kodak Gold 400 in my 52 project

You could try doing what Winnogrand did with Tri-X and check every few minutes under a dim green light. I wouldn't suggest that with anything colour usually, but since you're processing in black and white chemicals it might be different. Other than that I have nothing

Yes b&w chems

tbh I'm not expecting great results....Just interested as to what might be on the films.

I know from the fuji that I cross devd yonks ago in lc29 that the contrast was poor but nonetheless the process did yield a usable result.

It may take a while for me to get a temp & time sorted for this event so don't sit on the edge of that seat for too long ...you might slip off

In all serious though i will post any results i might get not least of all as I may be in need of help to pin point where the shots were taken!

Thanks for the link Rob.....I'm tipping that the 120 and 127 formats are possibly ISO 200 then ....the 35mm is marked on the cassette as 80 ISO.....

I did have a purple shade with the fuji but simply scanned it b&w....that's no issue whatsoever to me.

I don't have a green light but I see where you're coming from.....If it wasn't so damned expensive for local lab work, I'd send em there. Wouldn't be so bad if they didn't charge for negs that don't come out but they charge for everything they can ......

No worries, with a mixture of help from you guys and a load of googling, i'm sure ill come up with something........

Check my thread from last weekend. Rodinal, 1+50, 11 mins and they came out ok.

All Kodacolor II was either ISO 80 or 100, Kodak didn't introduce anything faster until 1981 when they released a 400 speed version of the new Kodacolor VR. Considering how old Kodacolour II is (30 years +) its probably better to develop in B&W anyway (although a specialist low contrast developer is recommended).

Thanks very much for that ....If I get results anything close to yours then I will be very pleased.

Given the difference in iso and age ( not that I know the age of these films!!) would you recommend the same 11 mins duration?

Thanks for the info ....Wether these films will yield any result at all I don't know given their potential age....................I've had lots of success with latent images on old b&w films before though so here's hoping.....

Just devd the 127 film in Rodinal 1:50 for 10 mins @ 20°C

There's images on 5 of the frames

Just loaded the 120 film into a tank.....waiting for chem temps to come back down so I can soup that for 10 mins too.

These films have come from the UK so depending on content, I may be asking for help to pinpoint the locations...again!! lol
