Define a "good camera store"! The closest store that approaches that description 'round here, last time I was there had their retail space full of scrapbooking supplies and high markup accessories for digital cameras: cases, straps, etc. When I bought my chemicals from them, 25 gallons at a time, I ordered two weeks in advance.
Most of the C41 that I've seen sold at retail is in kit form: all the chems, premixed, in one package, with a prohibitively high price. I buy my chems from a distributor in Rochester NY, "PDI" or Photo Digital Imaging Supply. They turned me on to Trebla because it has longer life than Kodak, the packaging is more convenient for small tank, one-shot use, and it's cheaper. I haven't priced B&W chems lately, but the price buying in this way is not much more thsan B&W, assuming one-shot use.
It's late here, and since no one else has joined this message thread, I will tomorrow evening put together a list of the C41 chems I use and email you privately. I invite you to email me privately if you so desire. Unless someone else here shows interest in this subject.
When I first started in photography back in high school in the 1970's, my instructor was always telling us that color processing is ridiculously expensive and difficult unless you were doing massive amounts. That's no longer the case, and I am a crusader to that message! Caveat: for printing (RA4), I use a roller transport processor which automatically filters, maintains temp, replenishes the two chemicals, and spits out a dry print in 4.5 minutes. It's also the size of a desk, requires 220VAC wiring, and one gallon a minute of water when in use. I use an Eseco Speedmaster AF45 enlarger (Google it and check it out- it's great!) with an intergrated color analyzer controlling exposure and filtration. It's the size of two desks stacked on top of each other! Generally, the second print of any session and all following prints are right on.

Hi,I don't have any c41 Chems... are they readily availalble in a good camera store?Bogdan K On 12/02/2012 8:30 PM, K W Hart wrote:Probably 1:1; I seldom used stock.Just out of curiosity, why not develope it in C41 chems? I use Trebla brand (from CPAC) chems which come with instructions for mixing small quantities.Ken Hart kwhart1@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bogdan" <bkarasek@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2012 8:09 PM Subject: [pure-silver] Re: developing colour film in D-76hello Ken, Thanks for the info. I'll see what I get. Did you use stock D-76? Bogdan K On 2/12/2012 7:51 PM, K W Hart wrote:I have done this. Use a short developing time, maybe 4-5 minutes at 68F. The resulting negs will have a very dense orange/brown mask. Supposedly,there is a way to remove the mask.

As an experiment, I want to develop a roll in D-76. I'm wondering what kind of result I'll get. Has anybody tried this, colour film in B+W chemistry? cheers, Bogdan K ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there. ----- No virus found in this message.
