That seems both logical and quite a challenge, I have to admit. Thank you! Personally, I haven’t noticed much difference, since I process medium volumes and a variety of films — some of them expired and compensated during development — but I do agree that control is better with separate BL and...

As for the crud, they also have a Tetenal E-6 2.5 L kit, which seems fine overall, except for the Blix Part 2. I assume it has oxidized or something similar, because I’ve seen many colleagues mention the short shelf life of BX2. I guess it’s probably not worth taking the risk? Thanks. With...

Thank you, I really appreciate your answer! Thank you once again; I truly appreciate your support. A local distributor has some old stock — one 5 L Tetenal C-41 RA Bleachbath. I just hope it hasn’t deteriorated or left any residue over time. Unfortunately, they don’t have any RA fixer. Other...

OK, so if I understand correctly, you develop films in your Jobo processor using roughly the same C-41 recommended times, regardless of whether it’s Fujihunt EnviroNeg RA chemistry? I hope I’m not mistaken. Thank you.

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations for solutions and development times? I usually work with a Jobo 1510 plus the extension, or a 1520 with the 1530.

So, practically speaking, I could use the complete C-41 RA chemistry in my Jobo rotary system, right? Looking at some local distributors’ stock, it seems I can actually get the full Fujihunt EnviroNeg set — developer, starter (if needed), bleach, fixer, and stabilizer. Does that sound correct...

That’s great to hear, really! I’m currently deciding between two options: a Tetenal Ergoline C41-RA 5L Bleachbath kit (an older warehouse batch for around 40 €) or a new Fuji EnviroNeg Bleach for about 110 €. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any fixer available at the moment. How do you usually...

Film(s). Thanks!

Thank you for the confirmation! I was expecting this kind of answer; I just needed a bit of justification. Small kits are used up quickly, and moving to anything bigger than a Jobo is costly—so, sadly, that’s the story. Achieving great results remains the priority, of course. Cheers! Just one...

Hey y’all! Hope everyone’s doing well. I’ve been searching through Photrio for some time, but I’ve only found fragmented answers or isolated discussions — mostly without any visible results (please correct me if I’m wrong). My question is: Is it possible to use Minilab RA-4 chemistry for C-41...
