I develop my film at home as a hobby, and this kit makes it super easy. Instructions included are clear, concise, and easy to understand. Highly recommend!

Can I develop B&W C41 with this? Like Ilford HP5+?
You can develop Black and white film that is c-41 compatible. However hp5+ is a traditional process film and therefore incompatible.

Can you reuse all of the chemicals? if so, how many 35mm roles?
I store it in a thoroughly cleaned dark-green glass bottle (used to hold olive oil) and find it lasts much longer in dark glass than in the accordion plastic. Accounting for reusage as the manual instructs (add 0.02 * originall dev time for each roll processed) and adding my own instruction of 0.02 * original dev time for each month since you made the solution allows me to either use the chemicals for the 24 rolls it suggests or use it for say, 12 rolls over 12 months, as it will degrade over time. The blix solution lasts until the silver from the film has begun to noticeably precipitateâif you are really good at straining this out you may be able to keep using it (the blix solution itself is resilient to time degradation), but the precipitates can leave marks on the film.

Does this include stabilizer?
Does this include stabilizer?
It does not have a stabilizer but if you are shooting modern color negative film, a "stabilizer bath" is not necessary. Up until the mid 90's, the final rinse bath in the C-41 process was called a "stabilizer bath," since it contained Formaldehyde or Formalin. Modern color film emulsions include chemical stabilizers within the film emulsion itself.

Hi there. If my Cinestill pack got hot in the mail are the chemicals still usable? Thanks!
They should be fine, powder is much more resilient than liquid.

can I use this kit to do a Cross Processing on slide films?
You could take an E6 film and cross process it with this C41 kit. The issue is that cross processing is all about trial and error and be open to see what happens. We cannot guarantee what results you will have, but it is a fun process to use. If you are open to wild and unpredictable results and are interested in DIY it would be something fun to try.
