Wow! Well done! Especially being daring enough to roll your own chemicals...it's challenging enough using a kit. Tnx for the recipe as well.

An initial search at local suppliers only lists Ferric Ammonia Citrate, brown or green as available. Am I right to assume this is NOT the same as what you're suggesting above?

Sorry but that's quite a different compound, you can use it for blue toning of b&w prints, though!

What you want for C41 is Ammonium Ferric EDTA or Ammonium Ferric PDTA. The latter one is the stronger bleach agent, but the first one will be much easier to obtain. Here is an Indian company selling Ammonium Ferric EDTA that claims they supply the Australian market.

Despite that Athiril and Steven Frizza are able to do outstanding home brew color work ...

Yes, Dan and Steve both have done impressive work, in a rather "hostile" environment. I would have to let them speak out as to how they did it.

Hi Rudeofus,

Thanks for the info/links. Just sent off some inquiries.

Cheers,
