First attempt at DIY C41, Kiev, Sonnar 1.5/50, Fujicolor 200

[iangreenhalgh1]

Don't like C-41 much, not so sharp, very soft emulsion so countless little white spots, but some of these shots have a very nice vintage beauty, surely the classic 1938 Sonnar helps in this.

I like the colours, slight magenta cast can be easily corrected if wanted.

[iangreenhalgh1]

Cheers. I tried to correct the magenta cast, was more successful in some than others.

Quite disaster C41 is not easy not on the first attempt only, I rare do it right.

[Katastrofo]

I'd be happy with these results for my first try!

[std]

Looks good enough to me
Don't be so disappointed - the second and third attempts may be even worse

[iangreenhalgh1]

Cheers guys.

I'm going to try a roll of e-6 cross-processed in these c-41 chems next.

I really like the battered Hydrant sign shot and it is a shame that the other results haven't been so successful, though they do have a retro "Instamatic" finish.

Cheers Skida, they do remind me of 1980s cheap lab prints.
