Now we need a colour version. We know colour monobath is possible and has been for decades - I was shooting colour Polaroid pics when I was eight, and I'm older than forty now. I wouldn't even mind the late 70s Polaroid "look" as opposed to today's crisp, clear images if it meant I could do a one-and-done stand in my basement.

+Hooray for Pentax! Well, Polaroids use a reagent that reacts with chemestry included in the emultion. That's not classic C41 or Black n white that happens in the SX70. Would require special film.

Ted, not only do you do photography videos better than everyone else, you do shout outs to your sponsors better than them as well.

Great video! I was waiting for a review on this ! Great to see support for some local guys !

Very cool photos and thank you for mentioning this developer.. i might give it a try

You are the best! thank you so much for sharing your experience with this awesome chemical!! I stopped shooting film due to lack of resources and space to develop but now with this and a changing bag, I can develop my own film again at home! I am going to try to make it on my own and hope my results are as good as you have shown. Thank you so much again for sharing! :)

Analog lives on... Great stuff, thanks Ted!

Just heard about this product today.... thanks for the review!! It was very helpful and informative! Will def have to try this stuff out AND watch some more of your vids. :)

Always great videos Ted. Very interesting!

You make it look easy enough that I may just try it. Thanks!

Years ago, when Modern and Popular Photography magazines were publishing news for photography fans, I recall reading a "Hot To Process Under Pressure." This photographic five finger exercise went from dry, unprocessed, used film to a damp, processed roll of 35mm film. (A common Press Photography process for "The Daily Tattler.") A Brooks Pixmat film developing tank, along with a Monobath along with HC-110 were mentioned. The writer put a stopwatch to his session, and finished in about 10 minutes, total. He didn't mention the Ammonia fumes coming off the Monobath, but he may have been using a different formulation back in the 1960's.

Thank you Ted!! Wonderful channel!!!!

Wow, very simple and nice Results. Thanks!

I watch you on my television using Amazon Firestick, so I can't leave comments. But I love your series and decided to go on my computer to 'thank you'! I love your various topics all having to do with photography. My friend's teenage son has gotten very interested in photography the last couple of years and I suggested he check your series out. Though I do have a complaint. Now that I've seen your review of New55's R3 Monobath, I'm gonna' have to buy it.

I just picked up a whole darkroom from my brother in law and this video couldn't be more timely. I am going to order a bottle, I've got three rolls of trix to develop. Thanks Ted! The film nerd in me is ever thankful!

Great videos. Thanks for doing them!

thank you for introducing new film

Thank you Ted! Seems you had already been working on things from that last question I sent you. Looking forward to the new videos.

Thanks Ted, great video!

Looks good! I have a crystal ball too, I've not taken it out for shooting yet, but I've done a couple of tests with it... You've inspired me to get moving on that!

Great vid again Ted thank you

Very interesting indeed. Thank you.

Oh damn! Thanks for the great news! Shame I can't get it shipped but incredibly tempted to make my own? And stand developing! As soon as you said this ones for film nerds I knew I would love it hahaha

Oh, this sounds really cool. My high school chemistry teacher probably wouldn't approve me getting anywhere close to mixing chemicals, but since I'm not going to be renewing that acquaintanceship 20 years after high school, so I should be grand :D Actually, I should have an overexposed roll of some colour film somewhere around with nothing of value on it anyway. This can be an interesting experiment. Looks like I need to do some research. Thanks for the video!

Definitely going to make my own recipe! Greetings from Switzerland

Cool video! I'd love to try this

Good for them for publishing the developer chemistry. Just because of that I'm going to buy some and make some. I don't think I will use it often but I think it will get me to drag out my graflex more, seems made for press camera shots.

Interesting, I'm just getting into film photography and will give this a try at some point soon.

Have you tried #caffenol ? Coffee + vitamin C + washing soda = home made developer. Works for me.....

Great.. Thanks Ted..

Thanks Ted! I think I'll give this a shot...got some unprocessed tri x in the fridge I need to get on.

Looking forward to giving a mono bath a try, super simple process'.

Good stuff! This just might be the thing that makes me try some darkroom work after all. It seems almost too simple to do...provided you take appropriate precautions of course. :-)

i constantly push b/w so this probably won't be for me but very interesting thanks for the review! fuji made a similar mono bath developer that i think was designed for neopan. you could even develop without taking it out of the canister but i heard uneven development was a common problem.

Hi Ted, i order the 2nd batch and the bottle is not the same, i prefer your white bottle, it works great, thank you for sharing.

Great vid as always Ted. Tbh, my experience of development thus far is that it's the scanning that takes the time :-) 4 minutes less on the development time doesn't seem worth all that much to me. Interesting vid, none the less. I'll definitely be trying out "stand" development after watching your other video.

damn I live in Italy... I will try to make it on my own. Great video thanks!!

I loved the look of the images. It is the contrast and grain that Im looking for. What regular developer or process would you recommend for getting similar results? I'm currently using Ilfotec HC.

I just bumped onto your channel and find your videos very informative. Ive been watching the Framed Show for a few weeks now and am really motivated to get into film photography. May i ask for a recommendation on an inexpensive film camera where i can swap lenses and use this development method? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ted. Now ships worldwide but its sold out!!

Yeah, I love the look of that. The grain on that film has a very "intimate" feeling to it, if that makes any sense. It would be great to try for some street photography. While I know that it is made for Tri-X, I am really curious about how it would look on something like Ilford HP5, Delta (100 or 400) or the budget Kentmere films. Nice tip about the orange filter. I mostly shoot digital now, but have been aching to get my old Olympus OM cameras back out and film in them. Since the exposure has to be spot on, I think I might try the first few rolls in my OM-2n and OM-4 in "auto" (technically aperture) mode or for that matter shoot it in my OM-10 which I have no choice but to shoot in aperture. I think I will be replacing the seals on those before any film is run through them.

holly shit! thanks!!!!!! soooo helpful

exactly the one trick pony I need. great.

Very interesting! Have you ever used any of the caffenol developers made from instant coffee and such?

Awesome stuff! Now, if it would also be available for color film...

Back in the late 50's early 60's you could by a product called Mono Bath, same concept.

Wait a gosh darn second!!!! I clearly saw a cat when you showed the negatives but no cats in the scans, those were all "arty". Cats rule the interwebz and you will suffer greatly for this outrageous snub! ;-P

Hi Ted, great review. I purchased this stuff a couple weeks ago and have used it maybe 5-6 times. Today I poured it out and noticed its turned a brown/grey. Any idea if it is still usable? Smell is still the same.. awful.

Morning Ted Sounds super fun! I'm totally going to play around with this. Any recipe for the Hc110/H2o/Illford fixer? Once I get a baseline I'll experiment from there. I've sent you some examples of my work from you pushing tutorials, and enjoy finding the limits of my favorite film stocks. Thank you!

Hey Ted, how about an update on this product. Just checked out their website and it looks like they've updated it. I would love to get into developing my own film and I think this could be a nice little intro.

Hey! I'm very new to developing film on my own and this looks like the perfect solution for me to minimize making mistakes and losing all my shots. However, it doesn't look like it's in stock anymore... do you know if they'll continue making the one step developer?

The negative looks pinkish. I think It needs more time in the fixer. Well if it can go to a separate fixer.

they ship worldwide now !!!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing Ted Forbes , The Art of Photography ! I think I'll give it a try. Got HC-110 and Ilfotec Rapid Fixer. Only need Ammonia I guess... Just thinking of it: I usually don't use stopping chemicals, just water. Did someone try to get rid of the ammonia? Reading the comments on the page you linked to I don't get why the ammonia is added. To slow the fixer down maybe?

Hi Ted. I am wondering if making it yourself could work with sodium hydroxide in stead of ammonia - you will have the alkaline effect but not the horrible smell. But would it work?

Ted, how do you think monobath + a good scanner will do if you wanted to play with contrast/highlights/shadows in something like Photoshop or Lightroom? Do you think there will be any wiggle room for editing?

@theartofphotography

9 жыл бұрын

Not much. Like I said its kind of a one trick pony. If you like the contrast though it's perfect. I definitely like it for certain things. Just not that versatile.

Hey Ted have you tried to develop color film with B&W chemicals? I was experimenting with it last week but I didnt really like the results, I was happy that I got something out of it but I expected to get a cool effect or something. Any advice on that?

It works with Shanghi GP3

Has anyone tried using this monobath on prints? Was wondering if it would be possible to make enlarging from negatives and the paper chemistry process shorter aswell? Not looking for super clean results

To avoid streaking due to "turbulence" and "temperature differential between the developer and the reels", does it make sense to do a pre-wash at the developer temperature?

Excellent... Very interesting.. Now where is that recipe... ?

It would be interesting test this with Ilford PanF!

Is this a one use sort of developer meaning good for one development or sheet of film? I'd love to try this to help speed up sheet film development.

Ted Forbes The Art of Photography do you recall how many stops overexposed the 2nd to last image was?

hey so does this mean there may soon be a replacement for the fujifp 3000b? because those things are killing my pockets. or I'm I wrong here? thanks

oh my god i am dying to develop film , since 2010 i stopped shooting 120mm pictures because all developer lab out of business her in dubai and no one can import Chemical thing because it need huge budget .

Thanks muchly, Ted. Is this ONLY good for Tri-X? I've a bunch of slower film I'd love to develop rapidly (Plus X and the like, mostly around 100 ASA). I know I've developed Tri X and Plus X 00 not together -- in D 76 1:1 and that worked. Would this developer do the same? I rather like high contrast negatives. I shoot with -- mostly -- a 1956 model Leica M3, using Soviet lenses and I'm aiming at a 'vintage' timeless look.

Ted and guys! How many rolls can be developed with one R3 bottle? What happens when the developer is no longer good? Thanks!

Can you do a video on pushing film with stand develop with rodinal?

Hmmm. I typically like shooting HP5+ more. Does anyone have any experience using this with HP5+? It seems kind of strange it'd be developed for a specific film since a negative is a negative.

When I tried to find Mono/Bath NEW55 dosen't seen to make it but CineStill D56 seems to be the same product is this true?` Help

Great video. But a note: however you are videotaping yourself when you're talking into the camera, it looks like the camera is bouncing around and it makes it very difficult to watch you as you speak; I had to turn away and just listen.

Ted Forbes the monobath with FP4+ ?

Ted.. a question..everyone I've seen do this they state to put the used portion after developing back into the original bottle. I'm new to this but wouldn't this degrade the unused.?????

You will destroy your film. Different chemical process. Color negative (C-41) and color positive aka slide film (E-6) are both totally different chemical processes than traditional B&W.

How does Illford hp5 look with this developer?

I wonder if it works for paper????

ugh... sigh... I wish it could be shipped to Canada.

Wow, you look so different from a 3rd person perspective

cant find it in UK...

modern films do not have over 2400 ppi to scan, any more and you create grain, usm creates grain.

Is this stuff still for sale

So I could literally just put my negatives in a tray of this mono bath in the dark? Any plans for this company to make a color mono bath?
