In addition to following the standard directions for C-41 home-processing please add the following steps. Then there is a 100ml bottle of stabiliser and you use a few drops of this to make enough for three “use once” baths. There is plenty of this and total bath time for stab is 3mins. 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.

To start, be ready with a single roll of exposed 35mm film. You would want to limit it to one roll on your first try so you wouldn't be wasting any films in case you don't get it right the first time. If you are a normal person and heat your house or if you have partner and kids that demand the thermostat to be set to 25 degrees all year then this wont be applicable to you. Tetenal recommends you extend the bleach-fix every four rolls. So 6 minutes for first four you process, 8 minutes for rolls 5-8, then 12 minutes for rolls 9-12 and, finally, 20 minutes for rolls 13-16. We have noticed that the Blix seems to seep out more than other chemicals we’ve used, don’t be surprised if you find it leaking a little bit. Protective gloves can be useful if you want to avoid getting your hands messy. It is also worth mentioning that you can’t over Blix, so if in doubt leave it a bit longer.
Blix is used by most C41 manufacturers because it makes the process simpler. Blix is the combination of bleach and fix in a single step, much like the CInestill Monobath, where a single solution does all three steps at once. Blix is convenient for home developers because it combines both steps in one and ensures users don’t need to rinse between solutions. The Flic Film kit does take a little longer than a regular C41 kit to develop a roll, and I do wish they would give more information in the pamphlet that comes with the developer. But as it stands, I firmly believe that this is the best option for film photographers on the market. Ilford Rapid Fixer - removes any remaining light-sensitive chemicals so your image won't degrade over time As it stands, the small differences are easy to fix in the scanner, Negative Lab Pro, or even in the darkroom.

Final thoughtsStep 2: Developing - Before starting, make sure that you have everything you need within easy reach - your chemicals, the sink and faucet, the funnel, the agitator, and your timer. You'll feel like you have a lot in your hands the first few times so putting these within accessible distance guarantees a more fluid process. Our turnaround time is usually 1-3 Working Days. E6 Slide processing is generally run once a week so turnaround may be slightly longer on these.
As you might know, colour film has two common development processes. These are called C41 and E6. You can do both at home, as long as you have the correct chemistry. Which process you need depends on the film you are developing. Colour negative film is easily the most common and needs C41 chemistry. Reversal film, otherwise known as slide film, needs E6 chemistry. For this review, we are going to focus on C41 developing as most colour films available today are negative, and they are by far the most popular option of the two.

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. Flic Film’s C41 kit is a dream come true for film photographers everywhere. The separated bleach and fix is perfect for photographers who want more life out of their development chemicals and want to have control over the entire process. You’ll need three empty 1L bottles to store the mixed up chemicals in. Don’t keep them in oversized bottles because the chemicals will oxidise with air inside and your chemistry will start to go off. There are certain bits of film developing kit that you must have but you can cut corners in other areas. 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.
