Has anyone tried this?

:confused:

I am looking to hand (SS Tanks) process C-41. Has anyone tried this kit from B&H?

Will I be able to process these C-41 chemicals with just hand held SS tanks like I would with B&W? Presuming I am able to control temps, etc. .

Question #1 : no
Question #2 : yes

Do most people prefer then to use a larger amount of chemicals than what is offered in this kit?

This kit seems to simplify everything.
According to the Kodak PUB, a user can get up to 900 rolls of 135-24 exposures.

Why go through the pain of getting Bleach I, II and (now discontinued I think) III. Fixers, replentishers, etc. . What am I missing here? It seems to good(UH OH) to be true!

It is... (too good to be true for the small home lab)
That kit is for a minilab using replenishment and there is a F2 cartridge kit also.

I think the F1 does NOT include all the components (Flexicolor Developer Replenisher and starter, Bleach, and Fixer.

When I was researching this you needed both the F1 and the F2 cartridge kits and that was after you had seasoned chemicals already.
