Hello all! I have two rolls of Ilford film I shot in my Bronica yesterday, a roll of HP5+ and a roll of Delta 400. I assumed I could soup them together and save some faffing about, but according to the Massive Dev Chart, the development time for HP5+ rated at 400 ISO is almost half that of the Delta. I'd be using a semi-stand method, 1:100 ratio for about 30 minutes - does anyone have any experience of doing this? I know HP5+ can be pushed/pulled quite a lot, but will I ruin it by sticking it in with the Delta for that long?

Thanks for any info you can all provide!

I've never done delta semi stand but it should be fun. I've done foma 100 with FP4 and they were fine.

Oh really? I was thinking that semi-stand was the safest method, but the fact that it's almost twice the dev time was worrying me...
 
I meant fine, bloody autocorrect! Stand development works by local exhaustion of the soup so theoretically their normal development times don't matter.
 
Haha - autocorrect with be the death of us all ;) Cheers Steven, I'll give it a bash.
 
Ugh, didn't matter anyway... my tank is too small to fit two rolls of 120 in it! :whistle:
 
Back to back? :D

I have a half recollection of this being suggested by someone somewhere years and years ago. Emulsion sides out of course.

But don't try this at home.... I can see lots of problems.
 
Oh god no - let's not add further problems into the mix!
