Scott when I worked at CSIRO in the early seventies I used to hyper my own film (tech pan and colour neg) in a vacuum system and introduce a mixture of Hydrogen (5%) and Nitrogen and bake for some hours. This was then carefully taken home without any moisture ruining the Hyper process. Many hours of careful hand guiding later (per exposure) with this film in my trusty Minolta SRT 101 I very rarely got a good image. Too many variables and we did not have decent LPR filters. One mistake in tracking (zig instead of zag) image lost. Reciprocity failure was the also enemy!
This made me even more determined to succeed.

Now it is almost too easy relatively. There are still to many variables, but we are slowly winning.

That is why I enjoy sharing and learning with you all.
