Great results, temperature control is key

The chemicals work exactly as advertised. My only critique is that you really need a precise water bath to maintain 38°C, or the colors will shift. Once I got the temperature stable, the slides looked professional.

Perfect colors on my first try

I was nervous about developing E-6 at home, but this kit made it straightforward. The instructions were clear, and the color saturation on my Kodak Ektachrome came out vibrant and accurate. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to save money on lab fees.

Consistent quality for medium format

I shoot mostly 120 film for landscape photography. This kit handles the larger format perfectly with no streaking or uneven development. The stabilizer step leaves the film feeling clean and ready for scanning.

Revived my love for slide film

There is something magical about seeing your own slides appear in the tank. This kit is comprehensive and the chemical balance seems very stable across multiple uses. I've done three batches so far with consistent results.

Good product, packaging could be better

The chemistry itself is fine and produced good slides, but one of the bottles leaked slightly during shipping. Nothing was ruined, but it made a mess in the box. Check your bottles immediately upon arrival.

Solid value for the price

Compared to sending film out to a lab, this pays for itself after just four rolls. The reversal bath step is critical, so don't rush it. Overall, a reliable kit for hobbyists and semi-pros alike.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the safest way to dispose of the used chemicals?

A: Do not pour chemicals down the drain. Silver halides and other compounds require proper disposal. Please contact your local hazardous waste facility for guidelines on disposing of photographic chemicals in your area.

Q: Does this kit include instructions for push/pull processing?

A: The included guide covers standard E-6 processing times. For push or pull processing, you will need to adjust the First Developer time specifically. We recommend consulting online resources or film data sheets for specific time adjustments based on ISO changes.

Q: Can this kit be used for black and white film?

A: No, this kit is specifically formulated for E-6 color reversal (slide) film only. Using it on black and white film will ruin the emulsion. Please use a dedicated B&W developer for those films.

Q: Is a specific tank required, or will any standard tank work?

A: Any standard stainless steel or plastic developing tank designed for 35mm or 120 film will work. However, because E-6 requires strict temperature control, tanks with good insulation or the ability to sit in a water bath are recommended.

Q: How long do the mixed chemicals last if I don't use them all at once?

A: Once mixed, the solutions should be stored in airtight, full bottles to minimize oxidation. Under ideal storage conditions (cool and dark), they typically remain effective for 2 to 4 weeks. The First Developer is the most sensitive to age.
