The MORSE G3 film developing tank

I bought my Morse G3 film developing tank of ebay a couple of years ago! I paid 24$ for it becaus i was interrested to se if it was possible to develop 16mm b/w negativs film at home. I hace since then only used it to develop aprox. 90meters of kodak 16mm DoubleX film! The results have been varying.

In my experiments i have used normal b/w still photography chemicals. That's D76 developer and normal water for stopp and den regular fixbath. I found for the doubbleX filmstock that 15 windthroughs at aproxx. 1 wind/sec gave a descent result. Perhapps a bitt over developed but that was fine for me!

Beneath is a quicktime file of som film i shoot and developed my self. The negativ was then projectet using a regular 16mm projectr and filmed whit a DV camera. The material was then inverted in post and the levels were corrected! This would give you a rough ideé of how this type of film could look! The clipp was shot using a russian K3 16mm kamera!

Here is another clip i put togheter! This time i scanned some of the hand developed negative with my flatbed scanner . I then cut all of the frames together to small animations! The clips were shot with my Kodak Brownie 16mm kamera and my Krasnogorsk K3 on different old b/w filmstocks. The result is very experimental.
