A roll of film that I am about to develop in coffee. Not obvious?

Nope!

But that looks like a roll of 6cm film, and I can’t seem to recall any of your musings mentioning a camera from your multiple collection capable of exposing it. Have I missed something?

120 medium format film as used in my Yashica; although this was in something different….

Proper chemicals with precise timing is the way to go. The coffee thing is fine for an occasional experiment but film doesn’t give you a second chance if you mess up.

I have run out of “proper” developer and the local Tesco’s appears to have run out of stock; so Caffenol is all I have right now. It does an OK job. Having said that, when I developed this film I got nothing. The film (something I picked up at a Lomo shop just for fun), seemed very thick and not at all film like, and nothing had happened on it at all. Very strange. So today I ran a roll of T-Max through the same camera, developed it the same way as last night, and it was fine; or as fine as any of my film efforts.
