THE most messed up self developed roll of film goes to……..Ernie Nitka

In 53 years of developing film this IS the most messed up job I can remember!  This is Ilford XP2 developed in Cinestill’s C41 two bath kit.  This roll fell prey to misalignment of the film sprockets, a bunch of strings from the changing bag in the developing tank!  Some of the ‘artistic’ features I’m not able to explain.


I am happy to report that I just developed some Cinestill 800T that came out fine.
