Does anyone use Arista Rapid E-6 processing kits from Freestyle? It seems that the Tetenal 500 ml 3-bath kit is no longer available. Since this volume suited my needs quite well I am curious about the Arista product because it is available in similiar sized 1 pint kits. A few things make me nervous about the Arista product: first, the instruction sheet available on Freestyle's website doesn't mention anything about the increased first developer time usually recommended for Fuji transparency films; second, it doesn't give times for 100 degree F but its 105 degree time is 6.5 minutes for the first developer (same time as Tetenal at 100 degrees). Are these minor issues? I could also just buy the 1 liter Tetenal kit but I hate to waste stuff and I only shoot 20-40 4x5 sheets of E-6 per year.
