Looks really interesting.
A 10 film C41 kit in softpack with 3 'bottles' (dev, bleach, fix) ready to be used.
And it seems that the temperature is not necessary to be very stable.

This really sounds interesting. Pretty cheap, too, somewhat close to the tetenal one.
Anybody got some expierence with the Rollei c41?
I really wanna try this!

I have tried the other Rollei C41 Kit - the one where you need to mix the 3 A+B+C developers.
It was very nice and the films came out very contrasty.

I doubt that temperature doesn´t need to be stable. It seems you might choose the temperature at which you start developing, however I think it should remain at same point during whole developing procedure. I cannot find any datasheet describing the product more detailed.. ?

Interesting if they would sell it in the UK e.g. at Jessops as shipping costs make it expensive.

Is the max of ten films close to reality, or is it possible to get like 15 out of one kit?
And, my tank need 500ml for one 120 film. Is this a possible combination then?

Regards
Timo

With Tetenal E-6 I do use 500ml in Jobo kit, I did try 12 rolls in 1L possible to over use it.

I wonder if this is the same thing as the rollei digibase kit - Fuji Hunt chemicals for minilabs repackeged into small sizes?

You can use it at room temp but results are crap, 38C for the dev step is not optional in my experience.
