I also got a shipping estimate of $11.95 for one kit to NJ, $14.95 for two kits, so it is worth it to buy multiple kits to save on shipping. (i.e., mix once, or mix 10 times for 10 rolls of 120?) Is the idea that you mix the two to create a concentrated developer, and then further dilute that for one-shot use? Or do you mix both when you do the dilution. My only remaining question is about the contents of the kit, which differs somewhat to what the instructions say. My mistake on the above - that table is only for the bleach, fixer, and final rinse capacities. For 120 film (what I shoot primarily), it is 10 rolls / liter. Right in the beginning, on the third page, for small tank processing, it lists various film sizes and the number of rolls of each that can be processed per quart / liter. I read through it and this info comes from 2005, and contains details on Small Tank, Sink Line, Batch, and Rotary Tube processing. (this link is on their MSDS page, and mentioned on the C-41 kit page as well) I e-mailed the Formulary earlier today with some questions about the kit, and received a reply with an attachment containing the Kodak data sheet that is included with the kit: If I had a non-shipping choice I'd be all over it, but alas, I don't. It's tough to imagine, though, vinny, that you couldn't get all this stuff in LA.

Unopened, the kits are dated out more than a year. The opened concentrates for the second liter of each kit keep just fine for as long as a month or six weeks. I mix up half of each kit at a time (not hard to do), and use that liter usually within two weeks. Southpoint's minimum order is a case of six kits (12L of developer), which is enough for about 80 rolls of 120, give or take.

I've been buying the 2-L Flexicolor SM kits, which as you say don't require starters. The bleach is the Trebla 'universal', and is a concentrate in the cubes, which make about a zillion gallons of the stuff.Ĭ-41 developer is the harder problem since it's perishable. Bleach is pricey, but there's no reason not to buy a year's worth at a time at least that way you get your money's worth for the hazmat and shipping charges. (I use it diluted 1+1 for B&W, so it's even more economical.) I buy these both in the large 'cubes'.

(ZZ is your man there.)īleach and fixer keep forever, and C-41 fixer is perfect for B&W also cheap as sand and highly effective.

I get fixer from B&H (I get free shipping for my NAPP membership, which is the best reason to join I've made my membership dues many times over in shipping charges saved.) B&H won't ship bleach or developer for 'hazmat' reasons, so I get them from Southpoint Photo Imaging out of Nashville. Attempts to have the local color lab (the only one for probably 100 miles) order if for me when they order their own were a failure for a mix of reasons. The film is rolled by machine directly from 1000 foot reels and finished with a machine cut leader, just as the major film manufacturers do.I have to order all mine, since no one locally sells it. Only new film purchased direct from the Eastman Kodak Company is rolled into 35mm cassettes.
