Which RA-4 kit for room temperature?

[tomas_telensky]

Hi!

<p>

I wonder which RA-4 kit to use. AFAIK there are two:<br>

1) AGFA hobby set (10 litres)<br>

2) Tetenal Print Kit (2.5 litres)<br>

<p>

Do you have any experiences, which one is better, which one gives

better results with Kodak Supra Endura, and also they are comfortable

for use:<br>

- can the concentrate be stored at room temperature?<br>

- can the used solution from the basins be stored in bottle for next

use?<br>

- do I need to use distilled water for solutions?<br>

<p>

Originally I wanted to buy Agfa hobby kit because of better

price/amount ratio, and I also heard a good things about it, but now

I've heard about AGFA bankruptcy, so I wonder if it pays off to get

used to an ending product now...

<p>

Please let me know your experiences/thoughts. Thanks.

<p>

Dear Tomas,

 

I have used the Tetenal kit and I like it. Having said that, consider the Photocolor chemicals marketed by Paterson. They are very handy (just dilute, no mixing of multiple bottles).

Tomas;

 

When you buy a room temperature kit, you usually pay a premium price. I find that the Kodak RA-RT developer replenisher works just fine at room temperature. I use 2' at 68 deg F(~20 deg C).
