People will be shocked with the quality of this wonderful brew. In all the research into this I have conducted, (I'm a university lecturer and will be introducing this process next term) the significant factor is the ratio's of coffee, soap & vit C, time and temperature are not so critical, more kind of ball park.

Have you had any success with either C41 or E6? I found this website; http://camarasclassicas.blogspot.com/2010/10/caffenol-c.html
Check out the example images, its Kodak Portra, amazing! I tried with some Fuji neg film and but the orange was way too dense and i figured that however I tweaked the brew or the time the result would be nothing like his Portra examples. His other examples of the Konica Centuria film would be my best hope, a light orange that is suggestive of sepia.

I've got a roll of Ektachrome that I'm going to try, its not important so I'll do a clip test first of a foot of film and see how it goes.

Cheers!

Mike, thanks so much. I had heard of color film being processed in coffee but never saw any results. This is really cool and I will try some this weekend as I have several rolls of different kinds of exposed color 120 film in the cooler.

Thanks again

Jules
