E-6 at home

[SpeedGraphicMan]

Tetenal kits are very good; I buy the C-41 kits from B&H for $20, and I got 60 sheets out of one package last time.

Tetenal kits are also very good!

Where can I found these kits in U.S.?

I believe that the E_6 processing kits are sold under the Arista label at Freestyle Photo in California.

The Arista kit is terrible.

I have used Kodak for years with manual tanks and got perfect results.
Then I tried the Freestyle kit.

Bad... Bad... Bad...

Kodak Pro kit is the best way to go!

AFAIK Kodak stopped making E6 kits over a year back... since you're strong on the Kodak kit where are sourcing them? I'd also wonder about the expiry date on these kits. What does your kit state. I'd really like to get a couple of these if I could and they're not expired.

I think TREBLA sells E-6 chemicals that are designed for smaller quantity mixings...

I just perused the chemical section of B&H and It looks to me like I could get the chemicals to process E-6 although in much larger quantities than I used to. I really will miss that seven part 5L kit which Kodak used to sell.

Why is Arista "terrible?" Isn't it the same as the old Unicolor three bath? I did a bunch of that in the 90s with perfect results.

Hi Dan,
Are the chemicals in liters for the small quantity mixing? (without the hassle of mixing starter and replenisher)

I bought mine (5 liter pro 6 step) a couple of years ago.
The EXP date is 2009 but I still get good results

This may not always be the case.

I had not heard anything about Kodak discontinuing kit?????
I special ordered mine through Adorama in 2009.

B&H carries Tetenal c-41 kits for about $20 US

I can't say if its unicolor or not? Freestyle does not disclose.

It is a three step kit.

All I know is I had very bad luck with this kit.

Come to think of it alot of the "Arista" chemicals have sometimes been bad news for me.

I usually order my B&W/Color chemicals from www.ultrafineonline.com or B&H
