    I'm going to give this stuff a try! I have a hand agitation daylight tank for 120 film, but only a continual rotation jobo for large format. Are you aware of a protocol for continuous agitation?

    For rotation development look here: http://caffenol.blogspot.com/2010/03/sample-from-harald.html

    I would even recommend a shorter dev. time for Caffenol-C-M or C-H, since 12 minutes are a fine starting point for regular fast agitation 3 times every 30 seconds. Anyway you will get usable results and may adjust the procedure slightly after your first trial. I guess about 10 minutes will be fine for most films - but depending also on rotation speed.

    Also Caffenol-C-L might be a very fine choice, I prefer (semi-)stand development for C-C-L because "shaking" the tank for 20 or 30 minutes (don't know) is quite boring imho. But with continuous rotation (machine processed?) you may come out with something around 15 minutes, but I really don't know exactly. Who want's to try and report?

    Hi "Robusta Power" :-)

    like said before there is no serious alternative to regular fixer. The ecological problems do NOT come from the fixing agent, but the silver ions that are very toxic for many micro organisms and affect the biological stage of wastewater treatment plants and of course in plain nature!

    The only alternative to proper disposing making sense is silver recovery.

    Added a couple of posts to the blog. One concerning re-using Caffenol-C-M with Acros 100 (it met with success) :D
