![]() I was saying that it's not possible to buy Tetenal developer only on B&H but didn't know if it was available elsewhere that people had seen. I didn't say I don't want to buy it from B&H? I said I wished it were already there to look at rather than forcing me to special order it (thus, having already bought it by the time it arrives in the store). The Tenetal and Jobo kits I have are identical.įWIW, I develop in small daylight hand tanks at 35c for 5:45. Why don't you want to buy the C-41 developer from B&H? Fotohuis said on another thread that C-41 is universal, any C-41 being OK to use in a small tank. The mini-lab people wouldn't know whether this is usable in small tanks. In the case of Tetenal, though.is it possible to buy developer separately (not on B&H)? It sounds like the only thing you ever need to replace regularly is developer. So no one has used the Kodak chems? I tried pricing it out on B&H and it seems that not including bleach replenisher (because the price scares me) the complete set would cost $137 for regular chems, and $154 for SM chems.more than Tetenal but not THAT unreasonable. ![]() And for totally stupid reasons I feel bad admitting to the incredibly nice people at the 1-hr labs I use that I want to do this myself.otherwise maybe I could ask them some of these questions! But I'm wondering if there's any reason the chems can't be used in the normal manner by individuals? Just poured out into other bottles, then used with reels/tanks? So frustrating that this stuff is special order because I would love to be able to just drop in to B&H and look at it myself. It's for minilab use and apparently can develop 900 rolls (!!) although I assume normal minilab turnaround means this is probably 5-6 weeks. I posted this on APUG so apologies to anyone who's already seen this, but I'm intrigued by this: Everyone acts like it's some terrible, horrible thing to get into. It's good there's Flickr because there aren't many salespeople who know much about processing your own color film. The place in Texas Fuji sent me along to wanted me to buy $400 worth of chemicals, then the second salesman tried to talk me out of doing my own color film at all unless I had a rotary tube. As with Kodak, you apparently have to buy huge quantities. Yeah, I keep seeing the Fuji Hunt name pop up but I don't think it's available in the States :(.įuji Hunt is available in the States but Fuji does a bad job of marketing it. Yes, but Rollei repackages Hunt chemicals into 1 liter kits, this can be convenient for people shooting primarily in b&w and only occasionally in color (like me!) Good quality chems too, the dev comes in its component bits (3 bottles) and there's seperate bleach and fix. 45 euro, does me a year and roughly 30-40 films or so. ![]() I can get the 5 lt fuji hunt kit here in Ireland. Couple good things about this kit: bleach and fix are separate baths you can buy components separately too just when they go bad, no need to buy whole kit every time. In Europe, Rollei sells repackaged Fuji Hunt Kits, they called it Digibase C41 or somtheing like that. ![]() I've got some old jessops kits which claim to be able to use as C41 and RA4, I'm pretty sure they are called Unicolor (Their packed in boxes at the moment) I'll check against my tetenal. I think they're the same thing but beats me. They had identical packaging and instructions. I've purchased the one-liter Jobo and Unicolor kits before. I'd like to buy Kodak chems but they seem to only come in massive amounts and I don't have the storage. But I can't help wondering about the differences between Arista & Tetenal. I might just sacrifice it and go back and buy the Tetenal liquid, as it's the only option B&H that isn't special order. I bought the powdered "press kit" mix from B&H because I didn't really want to deal with large amounts in case I didn't like DIY, but then I started reading that the powder isn't as good. How much of a difference in terms of quality is there between these kits? It looks like the developer and blix each come in three different packets that are then mixed together. The Arista kit from Freestyle costs more (oddly enough), and has very different mixing instructions too from the others I've seen, too. I'm assuming that the tetenal and unicolor kits are essentially the same, but I did read somewhere that the unicolor kit is inferior.
