Adjustments for Long Exposures
Use
the following chart as a guide for corrections for reciprocity characteristics
of this film.
Processing
The
films BPF 200 should be handled in total darkness. After development is
half completed, you can use a Kodak #3 safelight filter (dark green) with
a 15-watt bulb for a few second. Keep safelight at least 3 feet from the
film. The recommended developers and developing conditions are included
in the chart enclosed. Continuous agitation of the tank is recommended
in the first minute of development, then provide agitation of 5 sec. every
30 seconds for remaining development time. Due to inherent variations
in individual agitation methods and equipment, these recommendations should
be used only as a starting point.
Development
All
times are for 20°C (68°F) unless stated.
