Was browsing Cinestill's site recently, and noticed that a line of Color Reversal chemistry is up from Kodak, including a full 6-bath E6 kit and individual concentrates for labs. It's currently all out of stock, but I'm excited to buy some when it comes in.

Color Reversal E-6 Slide Processing Kit To Make 5L (5 Liters)

Labs worldwide have long relied on Kodak chemicals for their extremely high quality, lower replenishment rates, and cost effectiveness. The Kodak Color Reversal E-6 Slide Processing Kit is specially designed for customers who process small batches of color reversal films in rotary-tube...

I wonder if this kit will be available outside the US? Time will tell. Actually in Europe we are spoilt for choice of good E6 chemicals.

It's long awaited, but it was suggested before that it'd arrive, yes. So I guess it will, 'soon'. What surprises me is the price. $120 for 5l is quite affordable indeed!

Yes, I used the old Kodak 5 L kits, worked great. I have had great results with the old Tetenal 5L 3 bath kits too.

So hopefully before too long we will see the Kodak E6 kits return, and see more E6 films.

From the horse's mouth, as it were: https://kodak.photosys.com/collections/color-re
As Cinestill is the international distributor and marketer for the Kodak branded chemicals made by PhotoSys, I would be surprised to see it linked through Cinestill before it was ready from PhotoSys.

I suspect that as long as the Fujifilm is alive and well from a color chemistry standpoint, and it is, Photosys and Cinestill is going to want to have a couple commercial accounts before they make a bunch of the Individual (not kits) components.
Anyway all we have currently are the graphics of labels. With shipping TBD.

Cinestill may be better at dealing with the smaller labs, be able to fill a niche. It looks like the Individual components are, like Fuji, will be sold by case/or shelf pack. 6/12 bottles of starter for mixing first developer, color developer, and bleach.

Anyway future can be bright for these items if film, chemistry and customers are all present.

Thank goodness, I was starting to get concerned that they would never release E-6. It disappeared from the website (the mention, anyway) the same time the C-41 started to appear a year ago. Chibachrome next??
