(or ~$79 for the 10 litre Flexicolor LORR) ~$130 for the same thing with 20 litres of developer. ~$51 to get into C-41 processing with 2 litres of developer, with more than enough fix and bleach. There's also Kodak Flexicolor LORR (lower usage and replenishment rate - basically mixed developer lasts longer sitting around) developer replenisher for $46.75 (10 litre)īut you need the starter for that, which I dont think Vanbar sells, but you could get away with using the slightly different Fuji starter listed above most likely if you want to do some testing before usage. (you can also just use non-iodised table salt instead of potassium bromide with no ill-effect for normal colour processing, it should also be slightly faster overall as it has a slight fixing action too - so i wont count the bromide in the cost - ps: dont mix fixer with ferricyanide) - 50g/L ferricyanide, 50g/L salt will work fine. Photochem Potassium Ferricyanide per 1kg (05524-1000) $19.80 Kodak Flex SM Final Rinse 1.5 ltr (k36SM-RINSE1.5) $6.27 (Flexicolor SM is recommended for tank processing, and doesnt require adding a starter, nor replenishment)įuji CN16L C-41 Dev rep N1-CR 850067 (f3-CN16L-DR-20) (20 litre) $88.00įuji CN16L C-41 Dev Start N1S 850066 (f3-CN16L-DS-10) $11.00 Kodak Flex SM Unit Dv 2 ltr (k36SM-DEV2) $18.64 If you can process B&W, you can process your own colour. Just thought I'd post a summary on the cost of getting into C-41 outside of the tetenal kits for more economy within Australia (although even Tetenal kits provide excellent value already), in case you think it's expensive, or hard, it is not. ( Side Note: I plan on creating my own developer concentrate that can be used at 1+100 20 degrees celsius, similar to Rodinal, but a colour negative developer, which should also double as a developer for b&w film, and also substitute for the colour develop stage in E-6, I'll probably make it available $30 for 500ml ) Please register or sign in to view the hidden content.Update: After much digging and comparison, You can use the Fuji Starter for Kodak C-41 chemicals (warning: Kodak Flex SM doesn't use a starter, so dont add one if you use SM, and isn't replenished either), Fuji licensed it from Kodak at one point, and well, it's the same stuff.Īlso it seems Vanbar has doubled it's price on Ferricyanide, I am experimentnig with a Copper Sulphate bleach (get it from the hardware store or possibly K-Mart/BigW/etc, Vanbar also sell it) and it works great, density is basically the same, very small colour difference if corrected the same as normal bleach, but you dont do that when scanning or printing colour in the dark room. Considering the character of the film, I reckon this modified process technique will get me out of trouble until Tetenal appears again. This is a straight scan on Nikon Coolscan 5000 using VueScan software. I shot a range of subjects, just to burn film in a hurry, so I could start the test process.

I shot a roll of OOD Fuji Reala 100 that expired 20 years ago, just as an initial test, although it is not a film I like because of its poor skin rendition.

I can individually process 12- 35mm films on this basis which costs out $6.70/roll.įor the nay sayers who counseled me against doing this, I thank you for your caution, but I can report that the first test has worked perfectly.

It is a bit arduous and I will gladly switch back to Tetenal when it again becomes available in my country. That requires me to weigh out 11.3gm of dev powder to mix, and similarly for the Blix and Stabiliser. For 1- 35mm film it uses 170ml of solution. The important thing to note is that I use Óne Shot' technique that dumps the chemistry after processing. Update: For those who may be interested, I have just finished processing and scanning a colour neg in Unicolor Powder chemistry.
