Poundland Vista in Rodinal?

[schpleep]

I came across this artcle today, and I'm intrigued:

There's only one example image though, and the comments hint that the whole thing is a bit hit-or-miss.
Has anyone tried this and achieved results that were worth it?

I think @Asha might have done it. I was going to but bottled!

I recently developed a roll of Portra 400 I found in an old folder using Rodinal in a semi-stand development and while I was able to pull images off the negative, they were extremely murky and required an awful lot of tweaking in Lightroom to get something resembling a photo. I'd be willing to try it again, particularly as that folder turned out to have pinholes in the bellows which can't have helped things.

I tried a few times but never got decent results.

Same, I tried it as I figured it would make shooting film ridiculously cheap, but I never managed to get anything at all out of it really

I've done it - worked reasonably well, through the negs were very low contrast. To be clear to any random passers by - you get a black and white image out of colour film with this process!

 

[Asha]

Can be done.
Results are low contast which can usually be succesflly retrieved in pp to give an acceptable result although that all depends on what one considers to be acceptable.
Basically it's marmite!

Marmite, is that like cafenol? Marmiteol!

Nope unlike coffee, it tastes vile

Do you think it would work?

There's no one more suited to try it out than you, except perhaps that up and coming mad professor, @robhooley167

Hey Asha stop acting like a foreigner, marmite is great esp spread thinly on toast or fried bread.

Marmite is made from scrapings taken from the Devil's own gusset.

Bovril, on the other hand, is heaven sent. I use it for beef stock, spread on toast, as a healthy and nutritious drink and an ingredient in one of the best sandwich fillings ever concocted - boiled egg and Bovril. Lovely stuff.

Where is the "dislike" option for this post...

Boiled egg and Bovril butties? You'll be lifting the sheets after eating that!
