Figured out how to tank develop some old expired disc film (tutorial coming). Took these in December 2022 and January 2023 with a Kodak Disc 8000. Developed in Arista Premium Liquid Developer (a.k.a. Clayton F76+) for 7 Minutes. The disc is REALLY dense so it was tricky to get a scan with the Epson Perfection V600. Still need to tweak the development times (will try stand developing next), but the concept for tank development worked.

    @BRINE — my first new camera was a Kodak Disc 6000 that my Aunt gave me for a birthday gift. Prior or that I had a hand-me-down X-15. I used it through high school even after I transitioned to 35mm. It was easy to take everywhere because it fit in a pocket. I have many discs documenting the delinquencies of my high school years!

    @northernsceneinsouthernlight The 80s were my misspent youth ... post college but not fully grown up ... lots of parties and playing in bands ... the Disc cameras were my party camera ... I started on 35mm and Medium format in the late 70s while in college v... I have no idea where the negatives are, but I have phot albums full of memories!!!

    I loved the disc format and had figured out how to tank develop it with color chemicals. I see here you have used black and white chemicals, that's ingenious! So what method do you use to tank develop disc film? Maybe it's better than what I did.
