Hi all, someone has links about color process? TIA n! Congratulations on submitting the vaguest question of the year! What specific color process are you interested in learning about? |neo_tokio| wrote: > Hi all, > someone has links about color process? > TIA > n! > Congratulations on submitting the vaguest question of the year!

I'm sorry, I want to learn to process color film, I found a agfa process kit 70 and I don't know if is good or not PS: I'm a newbie for color process :) |neo_tokio| <malditesta@emicrania.it> wrote: >> Congratulations on submitting the vaguest question of the year!

It includes some info on the kit. For C-41 in general check Kodak's website. You want to search for document Z-131. http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/Zmanuals/z131.shtml Nick  Signature--------------------------------------- "Digital the new ice fishing" --------------------------------------- What is the kit? When was it made? What does it say on it? Do you understand all you will get is color negatives, which can be had for a pittance at any lab? |neo_tokio| wrote: > > Congratulations on submitting the vaguest question of the year!

What >> specific color process are you interested in learning about? > > I'm sorry, I want to learn to process color film, I found a agfa process > kit 70 and I don't know if is good or not Yes it's good - it works. Creates colour negatives. The basic 500ml Kit has a capacity of 6x36 exposure 35mm films. As far as using it, if you can process B&W you can use the agfa kit for colour. You have a choice of using it at 30C or at 38C. There are only 2 chemical baths (Developer and Bleach/Fix). Pretty simple really. The only thing is - work out how much it is going to cost you. I find that the off-the-shelf kits tend to not offer very good value over labs, where you can get process-only done for a pittance. If you buy the chemicals in 5L lots though it becomes more economical, assuming you use the chemistry fast enough that it doesn't go off. Of course there is one big advantage in doing it yourself compared to a lab - no scratches. I haven't been able to find a lab yet who can process film without getting some scratches on it. For that alone, I would be prepared to pay more for chemistry than what labs charge. Thank you very much Only a last question, are there many differences between the products of different brands [agfa/kodak/ornano etc etc] or are similar? In B/W process every developer is different and produce a different film result for contrast or grain etc etc. In color process is the same? |neo_tokio| <malditesta@emicrania.it> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > In B/W process every developer is different and produce a different film > result for contrast or grain etc etc. In color process is the same? C-41 is supposed to be a standard process. All C-41 type processes should end up with the same result. Some of the chemicals have different times etc. Some have different steps. Nothing to get a head ache over. Use what you can find. Nick Signature--------------------------------------- "Digital the new ice fishing" --------------------------------------- C41, AP70, Fuji etc have the same composition for all practical purposes. *Justin Thyme wrote: * *Thank you very much *Only a last question, are there many differences between the products of *different brands [agfa/kodak/ornano etc etc] or are similar? *In B/W process every developer is different and produce a different film *result for contrast or grain etc etc. In color process is the same? * * > Thank you very much > Only a last question, are there many differences between the products of > different brands [agfa/kodak/ornano etc etc] or are similar? > In B/W process every developer is different and produce a different film > result for contrast or grain etc etc. In color process is the same? In theory, all C41 compatible developers should be identical, because C41 is a standard. In practice there are slight differences between brands, but not major. I preferred the results from the Agfa kit compared to what minilab processors churn out - hard to put my finger on the exact difference, perhaps a little better saturation and a little more contrast. The good thing about the Agfa kit is that it is optimised for small tank development. Most of your Fuji/Kodak etc chemistry is designed for use in auto replenishment processing machines. It should be still usable in small tank development, but some tweaking of times may be necessary. equivalent to C41 for color negs. *UC wrote: *> Congratulations on submitting the vaguest question of the year!
