I am getting a lot of questions about developing film at home, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a video about how I develop color negative film at home. It is very easy and with the new CineStill TCS1000 it very simple to get the temperature spot on.
Hope you enjoy the episode, see you in the next video! :)

FYI, the Cinestill device is just a Sous Vide machine, they are usually cheaper than the Cinestill branded one, you can buy a cooking one and achieve the same result.

I suppose it depends on what was shot. I personally know someone who had a chance to photograph this woman. He only had one shot at doing this? You know what he did? He photographed her using both film and digital cameras. This way, if he messed up the film during the development process, he'd still have digital photos of the subject. She wasn't wearing any clothes. This is why he wanted to develop the film himself. Taking it to a lab wasn't an option for him.

This was a video which helped me a lot. Note from my side. Thermometer is all you need and most of the case sink will hold the temperature just fine. I keep my canisters with 'magic chemistry' in the fridge. Take them out, put in hottest tap water in your sink and with a bit of experience you will handle just fine. Thanks for great input and very professional video!.

After getting color film back from GOOD labs with spots and whatever else, I decided I should be able to do this myself. If there are spots and I processed the film, my fault. I've been developing B&W forever. I watched this, got the Tetenal, got the water heater, and my life has changed! It's so easy I don't know why I waited so long. :-)

In the 90s i worked in a shop where it was my job to replace the chemistry in a kiosk machine. After about a year and a half of doing this once a week i developed a sensitivity to something in the photo chemicals. 25 years later if i go into the gardening section of a store, even a tiny whiff of the the chemicals they sell cause an instant, uncomfortable reaction. This is mostly like having a cold but ive heard people talking about chemical sensitivities suddenly getting bad to the point of causing significant health problems. Personally, I will wear a respirator when developing film but its probably an idea to at least have some ventilation.

Always read the SDS sheets of the chemicals you are working with at least this closely. They will have all the info you need on if it is a sensitizer or even what type of respiratory protection you need at certain concentrations. I do a lot of stuff with 3d printing and some of the resins for the resin printers are pretty nasty sensitizers. There are stories of people working with them for a couple years without gloves then all of a sudden developing a terrible blistering rash with any skin contact with the resin. Just keep in mind that with any respirator you are going to need organic vapor cartridges to protect against most chemicals and even then you have to make sure the cartridge is rated for the chemical you are being exposed to. The other big mistake i see people making all the time is when wearing a respirator you need to be clean shaven. This is why the military does not allow beards facial hair interferes with the seal on tight fitting respirators. The big takeaway is if you are going to wear a respirator make sure its actually going to protect you from the chemical you are working with and that you have a good seal so it can keep that chemical out.

I was taught that the Dev time should be the time you start pouring in the Dev to the time you start pouring in the Stop or Blix in the case of C-41.. not the time you pour out the Dev solution. Of course you will need to be ready to pour in the next solution in rapid succession, not messing with your mobile while the remaining droplets on your film cause processing blemishes.. now, here is a useful tip.. record a verbal cue for the complete process as an audio file on your phone, complete with countdowns to each key point in the process, and start that playing before you start with a countdown lead in the just follow your own verbal instructions in real time. It keeps your hands free to exercise the tasks. That's a bit of German logic, courtesy of the UK. 😮

When pouring 102 solution into a Patterson tank (with two 35mm reels), you'll lose about 1~2 degrees in working solution temperature. It's best to use stainless steel tanks to develop color film. The alternative is to increase a sous vide from 102F to 103,104, or even 108 deg F as some people have used. The Paterson tank headspace will also cool down the chem as you agitate, the end result is 98 degrees by the time you finish with the first process.

I noticed your temperature control was.... not great not terrible. You need to keep the temperature of the chemicals (not the bath) to the exact 38C and keep it there. I do it by letting it bath for around 30 minutes. Always keep the tank in the bath. Only take it out for the liquid exchange. It's best to keep the temp of all liquids 38.

In the 80's I use to find film developing so relaxing, C41, E-6. Paper, Cibachrome, Ektacolor and Ektachrome. The trick is cleanliness, consistency and contamination avoidance. There's the magic of unrolling the film and looking at the wet milky images.

When processing ANY film be sure the temperature of ALL chemicals AND WASH WATER are the EXACT SAME TEMPERATURE. If there is a temperature difference the result will be reticulation - the emulsion and the film base will expand and contract at different rates causing minute "cracks" in the emulsion. This will appear on your print as "larger grain" resulting in (probably) unwanted reduction of sharpness. - Bruce, former professional photographer.

stupid me. I always agitated the whole tank and it always got messy. I even bought a tank that holds three 120 rolls and that got very messy and the rolls came out pretty bad too. I'm going to just use this technique of just spinning them without lifting the whole tank and flipping it like a mad man every 30 seconds. Also, after each time I would flip it, I would open the lid again and rotate as well. Just a real messy situation and I considered selling all my developing tools. Thanks to this I'm going to try again and save money because I was giving it to a photo shop.

Hi, thanks for sharing your work. Big Fan! One question, is this chemistry works fine with Vision 3 500T? No issue with rem-jet layer? Like with your other video (Tetenal chemistry)? Thank again!

Hi, In your new video for B&W film development, wetting agent is used for the last stage to avoid marks from hard water. Water marks did appear on some of my colour negatives using your process. I wonder can we use a wetting agent as well for the C-41 process? If yes, can we use the same wetting agent for both colour and B&W negatives. Many Thanks.

I never use it when developing C41 because the stabilizer was mixed with distilled water. But of course you could also use it when developing color negative film.

How long is the shelf life? Do you add time to the development every couple of rolls to compensate? And how many rolls do you generally get out of one batch of chemistry?

Shelf life of C-41 chemistry depends on the brand - you can buy chemistry for original process with a separate bleach and fix. Also, there is the Tetenal version made nowadays by many different companies with a combined bleach-fix, "blix". With the latter, mixed bleach-fix is often the first to fail after a few months. Original version has a bleach and fix that last almost forever, but part C of the color developer will fail eventually, no matter how well you store it. This happens in 3-6 months after opening the bottle. It will turn almost black (it should be colorless or light yellow). This happens without warning. This part contains CD-4, the color developing agent, and after oxidizing it will not work properly. Before opening it will keep very well - for years. Mixed chemistry will keep for a few months (not two weeks as some manufacturers claim). If the developer turns dark and opaque, don´t use it, as it can ruin your film. With one liter, you can safely develop at least 12 films 135/36, probably over 20. Just look for your developer changing color to almost black, or for any deviations in negatives. Color casts may appear if chemistry is old or exhausted. Mix a new batch if needed. Time could be added to the development time. What needs to be said, you can seldom control a process by hand in a tank with an one-second accuracy. You must count pouring your chemistry in and out, and it will work at least partially until the next stop. We are talking about 15 seconds longer developer time after about 6-8 rolls, as standard time for C-41 color developer is just 3 min 15 sec. I mean, you can calculate a time of 3:27, but you probably would deviate from the standardized time anyway by 12 seconds. I this video, the development time is extended for about 30 seconds because of waiting and talking when blix should be poured immediately This is much more than the time needed for compensating for exhausted developer.

one question: for how long did you leave the pre-wash in there? My first three attempts of developing resulted in a yellowish gradient coming from the sides of the film - not a possible light leak since I'm using a Hasselblad. I saw that you didn't check the exact temperature of the pre-wash...

Is a rinse required after the final application of the stabiliser? I’ve been doing black and white for years but never colour. With that I need to rinse for several minutes after the fixer. Not the same for colour?
