I decided to try out the Rollei Digibase for my colour developing and so far I haven't managed to get a single shot from 4 rolls of film developed correctly. Here's an example from the last roll, and the only one so far that has had anything at all on it.
Agfa Vista 400, Olympus XA2.
Test by andysnapper1, on Flickr
Not a camera problem as the 4 rolls have been from 3 different cameras and are 3 different films.
Here are my timings for developing, taken from the Rollei Digibase instructions
Pre-soak 2 to 3 mins
Colour Developer 3 mins 15 secs
Bleach 4 mins to 4 mins 20 secs
Fixer 4 mins 30 secs to 6 mins 20 secs
Stabiliser 1 min to 1 min 20 secs
Wash 3 mins to 4 mins
All of the above at 38 degrees C
Having just re-read the instructions the only thing I can see that I have done differently is I haven't used hot water to mix the developer, could that be the problem?
Cheers guys
