Consistent color reproduction

As a landscape photographer, color fidelity is everything. This kit reproduces the unique look of Ektachrome beautifully. The reversal bath step was easy to manage, and the final stabilizer left no residue on the film strips.

Cost effective solution

With local labs charging $20 per roll for E-6, this kit pays for itself after just three rolls. The capacity is generous, and the chemicals seem stable over time if stored correctly. Very happy with this purchase.

Revived my love for analog

I hadn't shot slide film in a decade. This kit made it so easy to get back into it. The step-by-step guide included in the box was helpful for refreshing my memory on the E-6 process. Results matched professional lab quality.

Perfect for home slide processing

I've been shooting Velvia 50 for years and was hesitant to develop at home. This kit made the transition seamless. The instructions were clear, and the colors came out vibrant and accurate. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to save on lab costs.

Great results but temperature sensitive

The chemical quality is excellent, producing sharp slides with great saturation. However, you really need a precise temperature control system. My first batch had a slight color cast because my water bath fluctuated by half a degree. Once I stabilized the temp, results were flawless.

Good kit, strong odor during bleach

The development process worked perfectly, yielding clean slides. Just be aware that the bleach solution has a fairly strong smell, so definitely do this in a well-ventilated area or under an exhaust fan. Otherwise, no complaints.

5 FAQ

Q: Is a specific tank required, or will any standard 35mm tank work?

A: Any standard stainless steel or plastic developing tank designed for 35mm film will work perfectly. Ensure the tank is clean and free of residues from previous processes like black and white development.

Q: Can this kit be used for C-41 negative film?

A: No, this kit is formulated specifically for the E-6 reversal process. Using it on C-41 film will result in incorrect colors and density. We offer a separate C-41 kit for color negative films.

Q: What is the disposal method for these chemicals?

A: Do not pour chemicals down the drain. Please collect spent solutions in a sealed container and take them to a local hazardous waste disposal facility or a photo lab that accepts chemical waste for recycling.

Q: Does the kit include instructions for pushing or pulling the film?

A: The included guide covers standard E-6 processing times. For pushing or pulling, we recommend adjusting the First Developer time only. Detailed charts for common adjustments are available on our website support page.

Q: How long do the mixed chemicals last if I only develop one roll at a time?

A: Once mixed, the solutions generally remain effective for 2 to 4 weeks if stored in airtight, full bottles away from light and heat. The First Developer is the most sensitive to oxidation, so minimize air exposure.
