Dead Simple, Great results

By Grant
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-01-24

Easy to use chemicals, great results every time. Could you get better results from a kit that has a separate fix and bleach? Probably, but I've yet to see any differences between this and my local lab. I've developed maybe 15 rolls with a few batches of this stuff, only bad thing I've seen was at the 5 week mark and 6 rolls in, I got some like, micro dots in some frames, but I can't confidently say it was the chemicals, I was pushing Cinestill 400D to iso1600 as well.

Will admit I was intimidated at first, but the instruction are as clear and concise. It was really fun to development my first roll of color film at home. I highly recommend this chemistry given it came with instructions and video material online. Cinestill really makes all of it accessible for us new to color film development. It really helped that I used the Cinestill TCS 1000 to control my temps with these. Not required but helped to allow me to not have to worry about maintaining temps. I would recommend

We have never developed color nor black and white film. On our first try at developing 4x5 color sheets taken on our 1903 Gundlach bellows camera, with the help of stable 102 degree temperature resulting from the CS Temperature Control System TCS-1000 and the Cinestill powder color simplified two bath process chemicals, our photos came out perfectly. Having never developed film, the directions on the package were easy to follow.

Better overall as a home solution than their CS6 E6 kit. I've had great luck with this developing Kodak Portra. Prefers an inversion tank.

Cinestill made color film development really easy, even for a noob like me. I've actually bought this item before and I'm buying it again because I'm that happy with the results. I've developed Kodak Portra 400 and 800, Lomo 400, Fuji 400 Pro H, each in 35mm and 120 formats. It's definitely saved me in development costs vs going to the lab. I highly recommend!

Easy to use and so much fun

I was really excited to get this and try it out. I have to say that the instructions are spot on and it is a true joy to use and process your film. I like that they offer it in powder form (it mixes well and fast) as for one you don't have to worry about shipping and two you can stick up without having to worry about shelf life. Highway recommend

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?
Asked by: Henry
From CineStill - Although our Cs41 1000ml color kit can Yield 24 rolls, the solution capacity is 8 rolls. "Solution Capacity" refers to the maximum number of rolls you can process in one tank at the same time. Yield refers to the number of rolls that the 1000ml kit can process during its lifespan. I hope this helps!

Does this include stabilizer?

Does this include stabilizer?
Asked by: Paulina
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.

can I use this kit to do a Cross Processing on slide films?
Asked by: Mario
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.
