Story of my initial mistakes ... My Svema LN-9 arrived as usual in a hand rolled pouch. The inside of the roll emulsion was mush darker that the outside. I originally thought it was rolled inside out. But I tested it with fixer and decided it was right. Fast forward 2+ test rolls with poor colors - browns, greens, ruddy colors. Well it's 25+ years old and my chemistry is close at best. Thinking over and over about what I could be doing wrong and the colors I was getting - I loaded another short test roll. Again the tan backing seemed wrong to me so I tested it again - hmmm it IS backwards. I've been shooting redscale the entire time. Great, if you are doing it on purpose. I had already loaded the camera and shot a couple shots in the darkroom. I then unloaded, turned the film over and re-loaded. The first picture in this set is the initial double exposure with the initial REDSCALE shot with the reloaded regular shot overlapping. After that I shot the roll, again, to figure the exposure and see if there were ANY redeeming colors. Viola! Shoot it right and there you go. Earlier rolls were shot at ISO 6. Redscale is usually an increase of 2 stops ISO so I shot these at ISO 25 (as others were succeeding with on the net). Developed according to CND process with C41 developer in place of CND, 2nd developer with potassium iodide,sodium metabisulfite and 30ml of C41 developer, pH 5.8-6 potassium ferricyanide bleach, kodak F5 fixer. This is titanium balanced film so a quick filter through a 85B either on camera or in Post brings up the colors. These are much more pleasing. I might shoot at ISO 20 instead of 25 to get a bit more shadow detail. Fun this film has some potential after all. The photographer needs some more work! LOL!
