I ran a roll of Arista 400 Premium through Caffenol STD for nine minutes. I shot this film at box speed(400ASA). The negatives look pretty under developed, thin. I will make an attempt at scanning a couple of the more dense frames later today. Just so everyone understands the Standard recipe that I used is from caffenol.org and is the recommended soup for Tri X, or Delta 400. I should try another roll and see if 12 - 15 minutes brings back some density?
As it turns out my initial assessment was incorrect. The negative density was quite good. The most stunning thing about this experiment was the detail and sharpness of the images post scanning. See below:
Not so Meh!
Nice honker you got there.
