Used this for the first time I tried to develop color film at home. Was very relieved when the negatives turned out ok. At first I was afraid that they were underfixed, as they were quite milky, but after they dried, they look fine ;)
I've developed quite a lot of blank and white, a little bit of ECN-2, and this kit had been my fits experience of C41. This is the easiest process I've used by a long way! Mixing the chemicals is no worse than any other two part powder kit - just make sure the water is moving when you pour the powder in to it.
This gives me the confidence to try LF colour. Soon...
It was my first time home developing and actually making the chemicals was a bit stress full but I think I was a bit out on temperatures yet the still worked perfectly this is very similar with the developer temperature as if it was a bit to hot I would maybe take away 10 seconds or so and there would never be any real problem with pushing or pulling.
Dabbled in the idea of developing my own C41 film at home for a while, but was always deterred by how complex it seemed. Took the plunge with this kit and I’m so glad I did. It’s insanely simple to use and genuinely very difficult to get wrong; I’ve even developed a few expired rolls with this, expecting to not get good results from them as I had home developed. But nope. This cinestill kit was awesome even for those. Plus, it’s taught me that home developing is super fun
I’ve only developed 1 roll of film with these chemicals and the results exceeded my expectations. So simple to mix and then even easier to develop with. A must for anyone considering developing with C-41 chemicals.
