Okay, thanks that makes sense. I'm going to have another go. The celer-reverser kit is a 4 step process and has combined the fix and bleach (called Blix), but I'm working a really cold room with chemicals at 20 C so yep, try again. Thanks for your help.

Depending on the temperature, you need to adjust the timing. I know that the kodak direct positive kit has a chart for the number of minutes for the developer and redeveloper depending on whether it's roll no. 1 or 2 or 3 etc. as well as the temp of the chemistry. I hand-process using that chart. Otherwise for the bleach, it's 2 mins if the chemistry is between 66-70 F, same with clear bath, and 5 mins for fixer at the same temp. http://www.sonalifilm.com Sent from my iPhone On Feb 13, 2010, at 8:47 AM, Cathy Rogers <email suppressed> wrote: Hi, > >Has anyone had any experience of > developing Plus-X 7265 (super 8 b&w reversal) with the celer-reverser kit? I'm not sure if I'm using the right timings (taken from super8camera.com website, developer 6 mins, bleach and fix 2 mins, 2nd developer 2 mins). Obvioulsy different timings are required depending on film stock and developer? I see that the kodak D-94a dev kits state 60 secs. > >My test strips are really light, which I know could be overexposure in the camera, which is a possibility.
