I used a splash of Rodinal, ten inversions, half an hour, three inversions, and after an hour my roll of Fomapan 400 had turned out really nicely. Didn't care about temperature. During that time I cooked and ate a pizza. I like the convenience of it, and the fact that I can cook and eat pizza whilst waiting for the film to develop. Now to try some T-MAX!

I use stand dev with 120 roll film when using my Holga because of the lack of exposure control the Holga allows. It nearly always gives me usable images which would be impossible with normal development approaches. The contrast can be a little flat so I'll be trying inversions at the 20 & 40 min marks to see if that increases the contrast for me. Nice overview.

I just started reading Ansel's "The Negative" - and I'd like your opinion on whether Stand Development can (no pun) "Stand In" for the developing portion of the Zone System's mantra of [Expose for the Shadows/Develop for the Highlights]. Pardon my ignorance on this, as I'm still green with these concepts. However based on what I've read so far, it would seem that one could follow the Zone System on the exposure side (expose for the shadows) - and replace the traditional development side with stand development. Based on how stand development appears to work, it would seem like a plausible "work around" - in place of the Zone's N+/- adjustments in developing time for preserving hightlight details. My presumption is this: If you expose for the desired shadow details properly, adjustments in development time (as outlined by Ansel) may not matter as much due to how stand development works - i.e., as long as agitation is kept to a minimum, the highlights would sort of take care of themselves via exhaustion (versus N+/- adjustments)...with the remainder of the developer (and time) left to finish and properly develop the shadows. Knowing of course that even with stand, total time and agitation cycles would still be subject to adjustments and experimentation - based on the desired image outcome. Right now, I only shoot with a film SLR (center weighted metering) - and am aware that the Zone system is primarily designed for large format. However, I'm still intriqued - and hoping I can still apply some of Ansel's concepts with my SLR. As you know, he does briefly mention 35mm roll film - as well as "high dilution" and "two bath" development techniques. However he didn't really elaborate on the Zone's application to 35mm in great detail. Every blog/forum I've read pretty much throws in the towel when it comes to applying the Zone Sytem with 35mm or even 120 roll film. But I figured why not ask Jesse? - since your article here was the first to really get my attention. Just curious.... Thoughts? Sorry for the long post. I know this is a blog and not a forum :-) And sorry for being redundant, as you kind of already explined some of this to me from my post in your Workflow Tutorial #1. I keep coming back to it. My Rodinal is on it way to me...in the mail....awaited by a roll of Tri-x 400. Regards/ Bob Hello Jesse,

It’s me again. I just started reading Ansel’s “The Negative” – and I’d like your opinion on whether Stand Development can (no pun) “Stand In” for the developing portion of the Zone System’s mantra of [Expose for the Shadows/Develop for the Highlights].
