fuji 3e6 questions
aloha,
i've a kit of 3 bath from fuji 3e6 and of course, some qustions... i want to develop E6 agfa RSX II (100iso) pro slides, but what times ? i suposse is the same time for *all* E6 slides, but is this exact ? another... for agfa slides i need to add sodium hydroxide or sulphuric acid in colour developer for colour balance ? another... live of baths after mixing chemi. are very short... someone freeze the chemicals for more long live ? results ? in cool ambients "something" is precipited at bottom of bottles and result in a unusual bath ? another... someone develop Scala with this kit ? no info in fujihunt.com :-( TIA adeu des Catalunya Biel |

Yes, all E-6 films should develop for the same time and temp. Otherwise commercial developers would need separate setups for each brand/type of film. another... for agfa slides i need to add sodium hydroxide or sulphuric acid in colour developer for colour balance ? Not sure where you got that info, pH adjustment is usually used only in big labs for replenished processors. As above if the developing kit is correctly formulated and the film is E-6 standard no tweaking of pH is required for any brand of film. another... live of baths after mixing chemi. are very short... someone freeze the chemicals for more long live ? results ? in cool ambients "something" is precipited at bottom of bottles and result in a unusual bath ? Mix just what you need and process "one shot". Concentrates last quite a while. If you aren't using the kits up before expiration either buy smaller kits or send your film out. Chemical waste really cuts into the economy of processing your own film. another... someone develop Scala with this kit ? Nope, Scala is an off-beat, black and white reversal product not compatible with E-6. Capable of fine results, but the process is proprietary and nothing like E-6. Having said that, I'm sure someone, somewhere has managed to process Scala in E-6 (but not without much modification of the process). no info in fujihunt.com :-( No, you'll never find recommendations beyond what the maker envisions as the purpose of their produce.

As above if the developing kit is correctly formulated and the film is E-6 standard no tweaking of pH is required for any brand of film. from brochure inside produt, but note, kodak say something like this about ph of **water** used for baths. not all people have the same water another... live of baths after mixing chemi. are very short... someone freeze the chemicals for more long live ? results ? in cool ambients "something" is precipited at bottom of bottles and result in a unusual bath ? Mix just what you need and process "one shot". Concentrates last quite a while. If you aren't using the kits up before expiration either buy smaller kits or send your film out. Chemical waste really cuts into the economy of processing your own film. I understand this but I search a system for more long live of chemicals, freeze is one. after all I test this metod the next time. another... someone develop Scala with this kit ?
