The proposed title is: CineStill CS41 Liquid Developing Quart Kit for Processing C-41 Color Negative Film

Product Information

Bleacher: To make 700 ml of bleacher I followed the instructions printed on the bottle. You will need warm water (35-40°C), a large measuring cylinder (1 L), a smaller measuring cylinder (the same 100 ml cylinder from before works fine). The volumes for making up 700ml of bleacher are: Bleach concentrate (196 ml) + Water (504 ml). Mix well and store in a clearly labeled bottle.

As I was developing 120 film first the 3 tanks let me develop 5 rolls of film. (You can develop 2 rolls of 120 film or 3 rolls of 35mm in a 3 roll tank. 1 roll of 120 or 2 rolls of 35mm can be developed in a 2 reel tank). Drying film developing equipment The fix is a 50% concentrate, so 1/2 litre makes 1 litre. you bathe the bleached film in this for 1min 30seconds. Here are my top 6 tips for extending the capacity of color-developing kits. Using these, you’ll be able to get more than the rated value out of any color film home developing kit, including Cinestill CS41, Arista, Unicolor, Flic Film (with separate bleach and fix), or Tetanal kits in both liquid or powder formats. Color developer stored in a local brewer’s growler bottle. I make markings on the tape to show how many films have been developed with this solution. Every film used increases the colour developing time by 2%. 1. Store the chemicals in air-tight glass bottles

11. E6 Processing kit

There are certain bits of film developing kit that you must have but you can cut corners in other areas. Now let me share some of my results! Every roll I have tried so far has given me great results: color negative, redscale, and even x-pro. The next result is that the film can start to become slightly more magenta as you can see in the example above. The first roll was more neutral, while the later one had a surprisingly nicer warmer tone. Surprisingly, I didn’t notice any reduction in shadow detail, though I’d expect to see this effect using the developer for more rolls.

As a general rule, you should add 2% to the developing time after each roll of film developed. That means after developing 6 rolls of film, you’ll have to add 12% to the developing time. No you don’t need a dark room to develop colour film at home. Paterson tanks or film developing tanks are daylight developing tanks so the entire process can be completed in your bathroom or kitchen sink. I do all my developing in the kitchen as the sink is bigger. Do I need expensive kit to develop film? in the aggregate with other information in such a way so that your identity cannot reasonably be determined (for example, statistical compilations);Stabilize: Pour the stabilizer in the tank and start your timer. Close up the tank with the lid and invert for 15 seconds. Set the tank down with a nice tap to dislodge air bubbles and take off the lid. Agitate once every 30. The stabilizing step doesn’t appear to be very time sensitive. The manual indicates times from 1 min at 40°C to 1 min t 25°C. As long as the temp of the stabilizer is between 35-40°C I choose the middle ground and use a fixed time of 1 min 15. Works fine for me. As there are plenty of resources that will explain how to use a dark bag, how to spool your film on a developing reel, how to use a developing tank, how to hang your film to dry, etc. I will solely focus on the development process in this tutorial. Materials You'll Need Please note that you will need a darkroom/ changing bag/light-tight environment for first loading your films onto the developing reels* The biggest difference is that the more you use the developer, the thinner the negatives will be. Even though you extend the developing time, there will still be a loss in potency over the long run.

We really hope this doesn`t happen but if it does then we only charge you for the development of your film. The bottles also typically have cool designs, so if you get them from multiple breweries, you’ll have an easy time differentiating the bottles during development. And the brown color means sunlight won’t be able to penetrate through the solution. Read more about these storage bottles in this article about making developers and solutions last as long as possible. There are several benefits which make the Tetenal kit a good choice for a beginner. To start with, unlike some of the other options, the kits are available in convenient sizes for home usage – 1L and 2.5L. Colour chemistry is best when fresh. You don’t want to be storing lots of it for long periods, so buying a suitable amount is important for maintaining consistent results. The 1L kit is clearly best if you don’t have too many rolls to develop at one time, but bear in mind that the 2.5L version gives you substantially better value for money per roll. Flip tank gently 4 times every 30 seconds. Tap tank gently on the edge of the sink to pop the bubbles that could have formed inside during flipping. You will repeat these steps every 30 seconds for 3 minutes exactly. Do not go over that unless you are planning on pushing your film.

Mixing Your Chemicals

Whether or not bleaching after fixing fully removes the silver content is debatable, but it will increase the image saturation and bring the contrast closer to normal.
