USING P30 - THE BASICS
1. Shoot at 80 ISO
We firmly recommend shooting this film at the box speed of 80 ISO. (#ShootBoxSpeed)
2. Hand processing is best
P30 is a unique film, and we have found hands-on processing to yield the most consistent results. Listed below are developers and techniques we recommend for a small tank environment.
3. Lab processing is ok, too
