![]() In E6 there is more to mess up as you can not only get too dark/too light slides but also color shifts – and there is no fixing in post if you want to use your slides with a projector.Įliminating the need to watch the temperature will free you up to do other elements of the process more accurately and will give you an overall more enjoyable experience. Generally in C41 process wrong temperature can give you under/overdeveloped (equalling to under/overexposed) film. There is a lot to do and you do not want to ruin your photos by making some silly mistake – just because you had too much to do at the same time.īoth C41 and E6 processes are temperature and time sensitive so keeping the temperature right is crucial from the quality standpoint. You will be busy watching the times, pouring different baths in and out, agitating. If you want to go this route I suggest you ask someone to keep an eye on water temperature for you, at least when you develop for the first time. You just fill your sink with warm water, control the temperature using a thermometer and add hot water when the temperature drops. There is no doubt that you can successfully develop C-41 film or even E-6 simply using your kitchen sink. I am not sure if they are still available brand new (like it or not analog photography is a dying art), but the used ones I saw for sale tend to be rather expensive. ![]() ![]() There are commercial devices for so called “rotary development” that go even one step further and also automate agitation process. Please watch the video below and read the post as together they contain the most complete information. It will make your home developing much more consistent and hassle free. Here you will see how to build a simple DIY temperature controlled film development container. The temperature control is done by immersing your development tank (often called Paterson tank) in water of correct temperature. You pour your chemicals in and out while trying to keep the temperature at correct level. When developing films in C41 or E6 process at home you normally use a special lightproof tank with a spool containing your film inside. You can have beautifully developed, bleached and fixed color negatives, ready to scan or print.Cheap DIY temperature control setup for home film developing in C-41 and E6 processes Modern emulsions were designed so that one-hour photo labs wouldn't need haz-mat training for formaldehyde, and have built-in dye stabilizers and hardeners that are released through this simplified 2-bath process. If you already process your own black and white film, with this kit, there is no reason not to process C-41 color negative film at home as well! It is specially formulated without compromise for modern color films, not requiring a stabilizer bath. Instructions for processing and Push/Pull processing included.No special processor needed (use standard processing tanks and reels).2 bath kit (just like most black and white processing).Easy to mix concentrates make 1 liter/quart of Developer and Bleach&Fix.Powder version ships without Limited Quantity Hazardous (ORM-D) regulations.For processing any color negative (C-41) film.No darkroom or automated processor required! Processing your own color film doesn't have to be complicated or expensive! These two bath processing kits can be used at a variety of temperatures with the same equipment you already process your black and white film with at home. Processing ANY color negative film at home is easy with these 2 simple chemistry mixtures. The new Cinestill C41 powder film 1L development kit is now available here!
