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. To do that, simply multiply the standard developing time of 3.5 minutes by 1.12, giving you a developing time of 3.92 minutes, or 3 minutes and 55 seconds. (Get the seconds by multiplying 60x.92). It is important to maintain the chemistry at 30°C when you process colour film. To avoid a temperature drop, and to prepare your film, you need to warm the tank up. To do this, fill your tank, with the film already loaded, with 30°C water for 5 minutes before starting to develop. After 5 minutes you can pour the water away. As the development time nears the end get ready to pour out the developer. It’s good to have a jug ready, or a funnel, so you can pour the developer into your storage container.

Over time, the developer will have a lower developing action, which can leave you with slightly thinner negatives. So the best way to get the most out of a C41 kit is to develop as many rolls of film as physically possible in a short amount of time. The Flic Film C41 kits are high-quality, high-capacity color developing kits with separate bleach and fix, giving home developers the option to bleach bypass their film. Flic Film C41 kits are cheaper than standard C41 kits and have twice the rated capacity of a regular kit. In addition to following the standard directions for C-41 home-processing please add the following steps. 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. It also means that if a photographer wants to try a bleach bypass, they will need to make their own fixer solution from any regular B&W fixer.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. The main downside of using the Flic Film C41 developer is that it does take longer to process a single roll of film. While the steps themselves only take an additional minute at the most, the extra rinses easily eat up a lot of time during the development. As it stands, the small differences are easy to fix in the scanner, Negative Lab Pro, or even in the darkroom. Lomo 400 at night. Image taken on a Hasselblad 500c. Final thoughts 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

Our recycled 1-Liter containers are perfect for storing and squeezing. You will need THREE bottles for your C-41 Kit (One for the Developer, One for the Blix, One for the Stabilizer) We are Parallax Photographic. We sell film, paper, chemistry, and everything else you need if you are shooting film. The four of us: Alice, Frank, Sam and Sol, set up Parallax in 2016 with the intention to support the use of film, and love of photography, into the future. You can come and visit our shop in Brixton, to browse, buy things or just have a chat. The fix is a 50% concentrate, so 1/2 litre makes 1 litre. you bathe the bleached film in this for 1min 30seconds. The bleaching step removes the silver content from the film, leaving behind just the color dyes in the film. So skipping the step essentially means you will keep the B&W image as well as the color image.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. Step 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. The developer is a concentrate that comes in a 100ml bottle to make a litre. Depending on the type of colour film I am processing, I will make either a 1/4 litre or a 1/2 at a time. Film needs to be dipped and gently agitated in this for 3mins 15seconds. Here are the developing time adjustments when pushing and pulling. The ISO is just as an example — the same times will work for a push/pull of any color film regardless of the ISO or make. Push/Pull We have been and will always cater to film photographers.
