mixing my own developer supplies

2 pages. I don't know why anyone would use 10 posts per page setting unless they like turning pages

Doh, now you made me go to page 6!

But years ago it was good enough to mix my own E6 from scratch.

Jim, it would be very interesnting to me to know about the E6 mix from scratch. Were you using the Watkins ? How did it worked ? Were the slides stable overtime?

I would be interested in this as well. Even C-41 would be better.

You can also buy the color developer (Fuji Hunt) in 20L and mixing the rest, at least this is what I was thinking. CD-3 ingredient may not be easy to find (to me at least), there was some in the auction, but not recently...

All vanished from my memory now. Some formula in Photo Techniques magazine in the 1980's that we tweaked and fiddled with. I don't want to derail the other guys discussion. It was all pre-computer, late '80's early 1990's. I had some successes, but lots of fails. It was all 35mm Velvia. The color developer was CD3 which was already obsolete even then. Proprietary Kodak. Unobtainium now I would think. I had a decent PH meter and that's all dead now. Once the computers came along, it's sort of a fools errand now I suppose. We wanted the Velvia red's dripping off the page, and that's what computers seem to do best. I never did C41 at all. Not even with a kit. No interest in orange negatives, then or now. Sorry I'm not much help.

Thanks Jim, on the way I visited again your photographs...

I got what I needed Jim. Derail away.

CD3 is still used in RA4 and E6 chemistry. For a private individual it's a little challenging to be purchased, but with a little bit of effort it can be done. I bought a kilogram of it some weeks ago.

If you're mixing powders, I recommend a full face mask to protect the respiratory system. I bought 3M mask years ago from a local safety supply store. It's easy to update the filters.

I sure didn't want D76 or Dektal powder getting into my lungs.
