I am usually a Rollei C-41 developer, but I figured I would try Tetenal's C-41 this round to help support them.

But holey moley they're expensive! I'm looking for just a 1 liter kit and Freestyle has it for $53. I don't need more than 1L.

Can someone recommend a US shipper that has Tetenal for a lower price? I'd always felt that the Rollei, at $10 less was a bit of a luxury item..
Thanks

I have used and recommend Unicolor C-41 1 liter kits from FreeStyle for years. It is less expensive than Tetenal.

If I’m not mistaken, freestyle is tetenals US distributor, so you’ll probably have a hard time finding less expensive.

I was just told that Tetenal makes the chemicals for Unicolor and Cinestill and Artista. If that's the case, then I may be overthinking this. All I wanted to do was throw some of my dollars towards a company I want to do a little to help. But if they're making a lot of these other C-41 kits, then this might be moot.

I'm embarassed to say I forgot about those guys, even though I purchase occasional film from them! Thanks for the reminder.

Looks like they've just got the Uni as well.

Huh. Guess it isn't as easy to figure out as I thought. Nothing ever is.

Guess if I want to give money to Tetenal, I gotta pay the price.

Or just say heck with it all and get my normal Rollei kit.

You might get a better response to your enquiry if you asked a moderator (by reporting your own post, or this one, and making your request) to move it from a black and white sub-forum to the colour film sub-forum.

D’oh!

I think you are correct and that is my own stupid fault. I thought I placed this in the proper place — I even recall checking it too; and I did not notice the error until you just pointed it out.

I shall reach out tomorrow for the change.

Noting that it is Sean "on duty" right now, and that he is in New Zealand, I did it for you .
