Analog Therapy; Fixed My Acros/df96 Issue Part 1: Canon EOS A2 – FE 50mm f/1.8 STM – Fuji Acros 100 II.

In appreciation for an act of kindness that warranted no reward because I did it because it was the right thing to do… I was rewarded. With Acros film no less. 2 rolls. I can not turn down Acros.

But there was an issue. I had not bought Acros since I realized it did not play well with Cinestill df96.

I knew there was risk involved because it was not listed on the Cinestill df96 film list. Worth a try. Had better luck with other films that were not listed.

So what to do this time? I am hooked on developing my own film, but not interested in trying another developer.

Yeah. I know there are other options I could try. But I do not want to. There are too many films that do work well. I could just pay to have it developed… But paying $10 to develop a free roll of film? Nope. To the internets!

And a potential solution was found. I lost the tab so I can not give credit but I read a comment that said that if you doubled the development time it would clear the haze.

Cool.

Went to a rock solid camera and lens to test this.

And it worked. Much better than prior attempts with Cinestill df96. Here are my keepers from the roll.

Welp. That is roll 1. Roll 2 to come.

Happy capturing.
