A question regarding E6 processing costs
I own a JOBO CPP2 processor an i would like to find a more cost effective way to process my films. At the moment the lab i use charge me $8AUD to E6 process my 120 roll film. Looking for E6 processing kits i found the kodak 500ml kits at $1 8AUD. the JOBO 2551 drum requires 640ml to process 6 films, necessatating 2 kits , total $36AUD. The lab would have charged me $48. I realize prices are diffent the world over but im sure i can do it cheaper. My questions are:
Can i dilute the one 500ml kit to make, say, 650ml and extend time during all th e E6 steps accordingly,
I understand that keeping a latent image on film for too long before developing is bad, but would placing the EXPOSED films in the fridge until i had enough fil ms to fill the whole drum be ok, or will the condensation that is formed when i remove them from the fridge be detrimental, also would there be notcicable colou r shifts as the first film may be 2-3 months old before it gets processed)
or should i just get real and take it to the lab......
Any thoughts would be appreciated
