LF : E6 processing process.
- Thread starter zguy
- Start date
just finished processing my Bukit Brown shots...
made a silly mistake - i loaded 2 Velvia 50 sheets and 2 B&W HP5 sheets! (never check the film holder label properly).
wasted the 2 Hp5 sheets! it became totally blank after the process. Only comfort is that the 2 e6 sheets look fine.

i followed the documents which losheng uploaded exactly and it works except uneven development
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&...jAtZWI2MC00NzFiLThlODMtZDY5OGRmZDRhYzBh&hl=en
The development timing for each step is listed at the bottom of page 4 of the above document. The only step that needs strict temperature tolerance is the Color Developer step: +- 0.6 deg C. The rest of the steps are pretty tolerant of a few degrees of temperature change.

I have e6ed!
I made the tank warm by putting hot water and then tried to load the film by partially opening the dark bag..so have some light leak..fortunatley pics not destroyed!
was too kanchiong - broke my new konkia color theormometer - accurate to .05 on the first try...so resorted to my meat thermometer.
quite happy with the results..

welcome to the DIYE6 club. it is easier than thought right? slide looks good and will be even better under the lightbox.

success!
free at home today and get itchy hand again. grab camera and took a snap downstairs and developed again
after one busy hours in bath room, result came out looks quite good, no uneven development
can' wait for it to dry

110/120/135 Film Scanning Service using Dedicated Film Scanner & BW Film Development!!
kgston, when will be changhing:
110/120/135 Film Scanning Service using Dedicated Film Scanner. Slide & BW Film Development!!
Hahaha.. I did consider before, but I can only do 35mm and 120 format; which fotohub is still doing, so no point for me to compete with them. I also don't have a lot of space to keep chemicals lying around.. BW is doable because all my chemicals I use one shot only; make when needed, throw at the end, only keep fixer. Less things for me to manage.
Who you really wanna ask is losheng and his automatic development machine
. That one is another story.. hahado you all use yr fujihunt chemicals as one shot ?
for my tetenal 3 bath, this is what the document said "500 ml will process up to 6 rolls of 35 mm or 120 film. For 220 film, only 3 rolls should be processed before the chemicals are disposed of. Chemicals should be discarded after three runs regardless of the total number of rolls processed. See table B for reuse with extended times."
how many sheets of 4x5 will be equal to 1 roll of 35 or 120 slide?

1 roll 135 = around 4 sheets of 4*5 or 1 sheet of 8*10.
You might need a bit of push for second developing. The chemical might have a bit of exhaustion after the first developing.

Hey, Xtol19, let me know if you are interested!
For the last 2 batches, each set of chemicals was splitted four ways, at a cost of about $241 per share. While this is cheap and cheerful, the configuration is slightly inconvenient, because the chemicals come bottled in a way that they won't run out at the same time. Each of us will run short of bleach first, and will have plenty of stabilizer lying around. If you would like to pick up a share, drop me a note, and then I will wait for another 3 more person to make another round of purchase.
On the other hand, if you would like to just get your hands dirty, I might be able to rebottle the chemicals into a 5 litre kit for you. All the chemicals will be bottled accordingly to their respective dilution to give a 5 liter working solution each. But the latter will involve extra cost due to time and materials involved. I figure each kit will be cost around $150 or so.
