Fuji Superia C41 film developed in Caffenol

To keep the Caffenol momentum going, another one,
This was my first try do develop an expired (just about two years only) Fuji Superia X-tra 400
Developing timer was set for 60 minutes, caffenol was at a steady 22c during developing.
Agitated for a full minute at start and again at 15, 30 and 45 minutes. Might agitate a bit less next time, there is some bromide drag visible in some of the negatives
Stop bath (1 minute) and fix bath 5 minutes after the developing and finally some washing and left it hang to dry.
This first result is okay for scanning as it turned out.
It's actually still a dark brownish film. hard to see anything without a good light source. The scanner (plustek 8200i) did well with scanning these negatives in black/white without the infrared scan (dust removal) option enabled
Next time I'll go for a 70 minute developing time with C41 Color film and also a longer fix bath time.

I like Ribsy’s style and attitude.

Love the photo. Love Caffenol

@Photobygms - I did not have a good experience developing C41 Fuji Superia film with black and white developer.
How was the colour of the film base? When I tried it, the film base was almost black and the images were barely visible...though I used Ilfosol 3 developer and the film was nearly 20 years old.... sooooo that might have had something to do with it ;)

@Greg - I'm a fan of Ribsy's channel too.

@aenoether The film was still dark orange/brownish after developing, scanning with our plustek 8200i did actually work out okay.
I might go for 70 minutes next time when I thinking about developing another C41 film in Caffenol-C-L
Have also tried Ilford XP2 super 400 in Caffenol, and came to a similar conclusion, I'll need to add more time compaired to the other B/W films.

Looks good .
I keep meaning to try Caffenol myself but never get around to it .
I've some old C41 that needs developing , I think I'll try some in this and the rest in Rodinol to see how it comes out .

I haven’t tried XP2. I just got a 100’ expired. Maybe give it a try
