I recently tried the suggestion in Kodak's publication AE-31 for bleaching out some of the brown haze that appears when you develop c41 in b&w. I've now got a strip of Kodacolor 200 negs I developed in Ilfosol 3 hanging up to dry - the quality might not be great, but I've developed worse! It's pretty similar but just even less contrastive.

Just posted three photos of E-6 in Rodinal.another world to discover It's funny that actually the result has got more character than many regular BW films can offer and it is so cheap! prewashing is not a bad idea, just not necessary with most developers. completely black negative will print or scan completely white. Now, it was a roll that I found inside an old camera I bought at a thrift shop, so it's entirely possible there was just nothing there.Ĭompletely black means someone opened the back of the camera up when the film was out of the cassette and exposed the film to light. Is doing a pre-wash on these a bad idea? My first experimental roll came out completely black. Here's my first roll (Kodak Ultramax 400 in Ilfosol 3) Tomas! Thanks for the cool blog! I got a bunch of color film from my Dad and since the local places don't do in store color, I was just going to try it, but your blog helped out tremendously! Have to wait until I can order a tank and chemicals to start developing my own. I look forward to trying this out on some old Kodak Gold. But I'm a little uncertain about temperature some say 30° C. :o)īut ! Yesterday, I shot a roll of Ferrania 200, that I was given for free. I haven't scanned it yet, but since I haven't taken any of the pictures on it, I can't say for sure, if there's actually any frames on it. It's like the film wasn't developed at all.
KODAK C 41 FULL
My blog is full of C41 done with Caffenol and ordinary B&W stop, fix and wash. I'll start with a roll I found in a cheap camera I bought. I do anyway, but I'm especially sure to remember to test for exhaustion w/ hypo check when I'm doing C41… C41 takes considerably longer to fix, so the fixer does exhaust more quickly. I use the same batch/mix of fixer (I use Kodafix) for b/w and C41 in b/w chems… Never had any issue.

Will I still be able to re-use the fixer (Ilford Rapid Fixer) again, for use with my traditional b/w film, or should I toss it, or re-use it for C-41 film (?)

KODAK C 41 HOW TO
You can explore further and look at How To Stand Develop Film and Pushing and Pulling Film.I wrote a short guide on how to develop C-41 films in B&W chemistry for beginers. Once you’re ready to go, find your Black And White Film Developing Times. How To Prepare Film Developing Chemistry will explain how to get your chemicals ready for processing. Both guides will walk you through each step of developing film at home.Īlso, check out How To Develop Film At Home for a list of everything you’ll need. If you would like to learn more about developing your own film, you should read our guides How To Develop Black And White Film and How To Develop Colour Film. This will give you longer development times and result in a more even development when agitating by hand. We recommend the Alternative Development at 30☌ if processing by hand.
KODAK C 41 PDF
Give the Tetenal Colortec C-41 PDF a read for full processing instructions. We recommend our 1L Chemical Storage Bottles to keep your mixed up developing kit fresh. If you would like to know more about the Colortec C-41 Developing Kit, you can read a full review we did of it here. Or, if you would like to try out developing C-41 for the first time, have a look at the Tetenal Magic Box C-41 Beginner Kit. The Tetenal Colortec C-41 Developing Kit is also available in 2.5L version.
KODAK C 41 ISO
Keep in mind that higher ISO film will exhaust the developer at a faster rate.

With this 1L kit, you can develop up to 16 rolls of 35mm or 120 colour negative film. Three bottles mix with water to make the colour developer, two bottles combine for the bleach-fix (known as ‘blix’) and one is for the stabilizer. This 1-litre kit comprises six 200ml bottles of chemistry to mix up 1L of working solution of each chemical. This makes the kit quicker, and quicker means more convenient and easy to use. Not all colour film developing is so simple. It is a two-bath kit, which means there are only two steps to develop and fix the film. In the kit, you get all the chemicals you need to process your own colour negative film. The Tetenal Colortec C-41 Developing Kit 1L has been specially designed for easy development of C-41 negative film. Description Tetenal Colortec C-41 Developing Kit 1L
