I do all my B&W in Caffenol, so my developer really does taste like coffee. Bad instant coffee, but still....

 

 

I just dropped in to catch up on this thread and I was gonna post a Caffenol link!  Ya beat me to it!

I've never had the chutzpah to risk a roll of film in Caffenol, but I have used it as a paper developer.  It is an amazing thing.

It works fine for film. I've done it with 1 minute agitations (14.5 minutes for TriX) and stand (1 hour for 2-stop push); different recipes, as you probably guessed. It takes some tinkering, but you can get nice grain and tonality out of it. This is from a 6x9 negative.

A while back I bought some old film lenses to adapt to a Sony mirrorless. Here's a Konica 52 mm 1.8 from the 1960s that was a bit fogged internally. No effects, just re-sized.
