C-41 and E-6 processing kits

<p>Does anyone know if anyone still makes the liquid kits for doing home C-41/E-6 film processing as well as printing?</p>

<p>You can still order the kits, but they are for the automated processors. I have neither the space nor the resources to afford one. I am used to processing in film in the usual stainless tanks and paper in drums with a motor agitator. I could care less if they are room temperature or 100º F +/- 1/2º F chemistries, as that is what I am used to.</p>

 

<p>The Kodak E-6 5 liter kit is still available, and can be easily used for small tank processing. Flexicolor chemistry is also available for C-41. Try Adorama, since B&H won't ship.</p>

<p>Calumet also has the <a href="http://www.calumetphoto.com/Film:+Cameras+Darkroom/Chemicals/Color+Slide+Chemicals/Kits/">Kodak E6 kit. </a><br>

They also have the Jobo C-41 press kit - whatever that is. I don't know if they'll ship the chemicals, either.<br>

<a href="http://www.freestylephoto.biz/c1000-Color-Chemicals">Freestyle </a> has a bunch of color chemical kits for processing slides, negatives, and paper most of which is in their house brand. Their E6 is a three part as opposed to the the Kodak six parts and from what I've read everywhere, the Kodak does the best job. Although, I've seen some folks who have gotten some decent results with the 3 part chems.</p>

<p>You don't need an automated processor to use those chemicals. Your motor agitator will help remove some tedium. You'll need fairly good temperature control though you can do averaging (start at 103, end at 97 = average 100). <br>

I use the Kodak E-6 kit with great results.<br>

Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for your help! :-)</p>

<p>B&H sells the Tetenal C41 kit:</p>

<p>I've used it with good results in a Phototherm processor though you could also do small tank development, no problem.<br>
