![]() ![]() The kit is accompanied with instruction booklet with development times to vary according to the developed film (in this case, no distinction is made on sensitivity), the times of storage (in line with other kits) and the preparation mode. Operationally, the Rollei Colorchem C41 is used as any other kit for color film homemade processing, with the new addition of 25☌ working temperature to the classic 38 ° C and a rapid 45 ° C it is something that will benefit those who have trouble keeping stable the standard temperature during development and those who dedicate themselves to home processing even in the winter months. The Colorchem, in fact, comes as a kit in two baths, with bleaching and fixing combined into a single step, while in Digibase those are separated currently is marketed in 1L, 2.5L and 5L packages, respectively, to treat up to 16, 40 and 80 films particularly convenient from the economic point of view appears to be the 2,5L pack for which the theoretical expenditure is below 1 Euro per developed roll. this ilford film Vergtung offers the convenience of C41 colour processing which. ![]() The bottle will deform but not break and keep air out.The selection of chemicals for the home processing of color films is extended with an additional kit produced by Maco and marketed under the name Rollei Colorchem C41 the kit is complementary and not to replace the already present Digibase but, unlike this, is closer to that which currently appears to be the most sold kit, ie the Tetenal Colortec C41. The HARMAN EZ-35 is a 35mm reusable film camera from Ilford with. There is C-41 replenisher chemicals that will keep it 100% active (instead of compensating for exhaustion and adding time in processing).īut I think a combination of saving up rolls and spreading dev out over a few months would work.Ī good way to do this is use plastic bottles and squeeze them until all the air is gone. I did a little digging and it seems that if you keep the bottles topped up and free of air you can go six or more months without any degradation in quality. īlack and white on the other hand isn't an issue as I always have stop and fix ready mixed in bottles, and I mix the developer fresh for each tank. I usually use the Tetanol kit that does a dozen or so rolls at a time. When I have a batch ready to develop, I mix the chemicals and have a developing session. ![]() I can't tell you how long it's good for when mixed, but when I'm working with C41, I do things the opposite way. Try also Fuji Hunt Express C41 kit or Rollei Digibase C41 kit (they say this is a smaller version of Fuji kit) I am just collecting a batch of C41s now to try Rollei kit I've been using Tetanol kits but I'm interested in something with a good life when mixed, and developing the extra rolls for my money. It's the only size they have so no other options, Their liquid kit is for the same amount (quart/liter) I have the liquid kit waiting to be mixed when the powder kit batch is depleted. It's their powder kit on their own site listed as a kit for a Quart or one liter.īeing a EU citizen It means I have one liter developer made from the powder kit. It's Cinestill CS41 that your using, is it ? The films were a Fuji Superia 200 (Expiry date 12-2014) and a Fuji Superia Xtra 400 (Expiry date 06-2019) Will have to scan but sofar the negatives do look good That's the batch I made in October (the 13th) 2019. How long? Is this different that other developers? I think I am safe to assume from what I have seen from others that I have months to use the mixtures which is good enough for me.Īnd today I developed films number 26 and 27 with the same batch developer "- Long lasting shelf life with 3 part Developer and Blix mixtures" I was looking at Freestyle's website and at the Cinestill products and saw this: I don't know how used working solutions keep up because there is additional degradation due to developer exhaustion and oxidation induced by agitation. Regarding the Blix, opened concentrates have normally a very good shelf life. You can do it just with the Part C or with the mixed working solution, what suits you better. The capacity of the bottles should match the amount of chemistry you use per batch. ![]() The most important thing with CD4 is to avoid the contact with oxigen, so try to keep it always in smaller bottles full up to cap. It is where the developer agent is (CD4), the rest of parts contains additives with excellent shelf life. Quick developing time of 13 minutes at 102 degrees F Yields approximately 8 rolls of 36 exposure film. The only component you should care about is the Part C of the developer. This kit allows you to process any C-41 film in under 13 minutes at 102 degrees F. ![]()
