I bought lots of expired fujicolor 100 for about 10 yen (about 10 cents) a roll. It's expensive to have c41 film developed in Japan (550 yen just for the negatives) so I tried to develop a couple of rolls in black and white chemicals. I was inspired by this guy's results.

I did a lot of C41 in BW work, never managed to get anything that approached a real bw film in quality, sadly.
The Fuji Hunt Xpress C-41 kit is wonderful, about 60ukp but will do at least 60 films. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

That 550 yen is just for the negatives. No prints or scan to CD. I heard it was cheaper in the UK. _________________ If you have time, please check out my photography blog from Japan. http://monkeybrainsushi.wordpress.com/ |

Fuji hunt xpress kit seems good value. Might have to investigate. _________________ If you have time, please check out my photography blog from Japan. http://monkeybrainsushi.wordpress.com/ |

I like it, make it up in 1 litre batches and it lasts a while. I find it works best with Fuji films, well, it works most consistently with Fuji films, I have always had good results using fuji with the kit, and mixed results with other types of film, sometimes great, sometimes not so great. Ferrania films came out horrible for instance.
If you look in the colour film gallery, there's a lot of threads i started with examples of diy c41. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Wandering slightly off-topic but relevant to C41 processing and prices...
Local ASDA supermarket is...
7 rolls - 4 B+W,3 colour. 3 separate CDs - 2x image sizes for each film, CDs take up to 3 x rolls film . Negs on film uncut if requested. £17.50 . Those prices make me lazy enough tae not get off my ass and develop my own films. Even though it was a new year resolution.
Fuji Frontier machine... examples

Pretty decent results - what developer and times did you use?
Here locally rebranded C41 films from Fuji/Kodak costs often less than 1€ per 36exp roll.
If you whish I could send you a package with 10-20 or maybe more rolls. _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester

Nice analogy.
Thanks for offering to send some cheap film (Thus forum has the best forum members on the web ). But I can get cheap Fujicolor film over here. Also I still have about 20 rolls of Agfa Vista 200 I bought in the UK in January. _________________ If you have time, please check out my photography blog from Japan. http://monkeybrainsushi.wordpress.com/ |
