I don't know if this is quite gallery work...

It was my first attempt with a DIY c-41 kit. These are entirely unedited, full histogram scans. I wanted to see exactly how accurate the colors came out. For the most part I'm happy with the results. There's no color cast that can't be corrected. The last few were a little underexposed so I think the color shift there is due to that. Ektar is known to not do to well with underexposure.

Camera was a Kiev 6c. The focus screen, I found out later, is not calibrated so many of the pictures are mis-focused. Lenses were a MC Biometar 2.8/80 and Zebra Flektogon 4/50.






This one was taken by Stasia:

I don't understand why this looks almost cross-processed:

Which DIY C41 kit ? You made by yourself from chemicals? I think developing was successful, especially room pictures did come out nicely.

It's a kit labeled JOBO. I think it's identical to the Tetenal one.

Color a bit strange outside, perhaps expired film or temperature shift under develop I love/hate relationship with C-41 development if I get success (rare) I love it, usually I hate it. DIY E-6 much more consistent to me.

Nice series.

Technically I think your results are very decent for an C41 DIY try. Perfect temperature control is not easy with amateur equipment.

VEry good work Marc, and very good developing results I have to say.
I always enjoy your Anastasia series, in this one my favourite is the first of the sofa bunch.
