I just received a new box of Kodak e6 color dev, but it isn't the one I've used in the past. The one I had before was no. 3857 2542 which had the large bottle of part A and the smaller bottle of part B. Now I have no 395 5507 which are two gallon size bottles for both A and B.
The instructions on the box says equal amounts of both to make 5gal of concentrate, but Kodak publication J-83 recommended 200ml of A and only 71 ml of B to end up with 1 liter of concentrate.,which is close to what I was doing with the previous kit. I would think that they would be added in equal amounts, since that's what the box instructed. I will see if Kodak.uk has anything ,since it came from there, but does anyone have any ideas?

I found Kodak document TI2580, on the Kodak website which says to make 1 liter of developer solution,start with 660 ml of water, add 170 ml of A then 170ml of B then add 5ml of color dev starter . Thing is it doesn't use the cat number I have anywhere in the document. But these amounts seem to make sense. That is the same amount of A solution I use to make a liter of developer with the old kit, so unless I find out different, that is what I will use. It will take a bit,since I still have a little left of the first kit left. Sorry to get everyone running around for nothing.
