Here in the US Freestyle has been carrying the Fuji 6X E-6 processing kits for the last few months. The 5 Liter Tetenal kits have gone away. The instructions (A PDF on Freestyle's website) are for the regular Fuji machine chemistry (replenishment, starters etc), they have the wrong instructions sheet posted. I was able to find a proper instruction sheet on a UK retailer (and the price in GBP seems just about the same as what we would pay in USD) .
Kit instructions call for increasing 1st Developer and color developer times as the baths are used. They also state the Developer is good for up to 44 rolls of film (and that the other chemicals have 2 to 3 times the capacity)
For rotary development the kit instructions says for 1st. Developer time is from 6 minutes to 8'30" depending on your process , it's up to you to find an "In-control" time temperature then control it within 5 seconds and 0.3 C.
Thanks A lot Fuji for the keen insight. This is the kind of cr*p that really makes me hope and pray that Ferrania gets it right. Fuji acts like regular film is an annoyance to them that they have to put up with. I still have some Tetenal 3 bath stuff, I would rather go back in time and buy the Kodak 5 liter kits.
Once I'm done with my current stockpile of Fujichrome I'm going to be shooting Kodak Ektar and Portra and using the excellent, inexpensive Kodak (now made by Kodak of China) Flexicolor chemistry. I can print it easy as I can scan chromes.
I hope Ferrania get it right. I'm so fed up with Fuji, no support no proper instructions etc.
