Recently saw this post of someone taking a yellowish filter to cross process the new Lucky color film in E-6, without any of the tint that usually happens when you cross process c-41. Thought others might be interested. Wonder if it can be done with other films. I’d think that you’d just need a...

The carbonates and bicarbonates are acting as a buffer to help with the pH of the developer. The potassium iodide helps prevent fog so perhaps maybe that would solve things. Although my ECN-2 films processed with my recipe have no fogging. I’m no chemist either so maybe using the...

Not sure what version of C41 without looking at the sources I used, but this is my recipe. I use Kodak blix replenisher. You can find it in bulk online at the usual photography stores

Unfortunately no. I just took the L and bought bulk Blix concentrate for c41 and RA-4. it’s cheap fb long lasting enough to be economical. I use Kodak. I had issues with my homebrew ECN-2 staining my phenoix 200 rolls, I thought it was the developer but if you are using C41 dev and ECN-2 bleach...

I always end up pushing my film so I’m looking for a developer made for pushing, with a longer shelf life since I cut back a lot on b&w film lately. I’ve always used D76 and had some pretty good results with some pretty extreme pushes (K400 @ 25600), but wondered how it would look with a...

Film was Rollei Retro 400 Process: 1. D76 1+1 for 35 mins 2. 250mL 3% hydrogen peroxide + 15mL White vinegar bleach for 7 minutes 3. Reexposure using a strong LED flashlight. Probably 3 passes over the length of film that took 30-45 seconds each. Holding the flashlight an inch or so away from...

Amazing news, Thanks for the help.

I might try that alt bleach just for fun to see how it works. Sourcing just the blix from photography chemical suppliers seems to be the ideal plan. Cinestill sells Kodak RA-4 Blix replenisher in 20L quantities but I’ll have to get a starter batch, or figure out how to use replenisher on its own

Ferric Ammonium EDTA / Disodium EDTA? | Photrio.com Photography Forums https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/ferric-ammonium-edta-disodium-edta.143555/post-1877029 It’s in this thread, I think when he talks about image longevity he is talking about the yellowing you mentioned

Mostly bc I think it would be fun. For RA-4 the only chemicals currently available in hobbiest quantities that I could find is the Arista 4L kit for 75$. B&H and freestyle sell huge amounts developer and blix but there’s no chance I’d use them before they go off. The minimum is like 50Liters...

Would like to make my own RA-4 and C-41 chems (mostly RA-4), but I cannot find a single source for the Ferric Ammonium EDTA anywhere. I’ve searched Artscraft, Photoforumarly, and major chemical suppliers like Flinn, CarolinaBio, and Fishers. Without making my own, is my only option to use the...
