Couple of Questions E-6 using Tetenal E-6 3-Bath 1 Liter for 12 rolls

[lhalcong]

1)
The tetenal instructions call for I understood 6:15 sec for 1-2 Films.-500ml . I am using a two Reel Paterson small tank so will process two rolls at a time. Is it correct to do first two at 6:15 , the second pair and third pair of rolls also at 6:15 as well , no compensation for previous cycles ?.
this would be the first set of 500ml . Then repeating the same with the rest of the 6 remaining rolls and 500ml remaining of chemicals.
did I get that right ?


2)
Also this Paterson Tank I use for C-41 as well. is that ok ? I plan to thoroughly wash of course.

Each time you reuse Tetenal E-6 chemistry, you have to compesate. 15 seconds more for FD, 60 seconds more for CD and BX. I use the same tank for E-6, C-41 and B&W work. No ill efect.

So why don't the instructions say that ? Or anything about compensation? Or am I not reading it ?

It is exactly what the manual says. Look into the table at page 8. There are 3 data columns, 1st for fresh chemistry (labeled 1-2 Films), 2nd for 1st reuse (labeled 3-4 Films), and last for 3rd reuse (labeled 5-6 Films).
