[@flipflopsleica]

Doing Gods work out here. The only kit with no information on it in Vid format. Thanks man! Edit: Also im noticing that the stabilizer is being kept at temperature and not lets say ambient temperature. Unicolor requires no warming for their stabilizer. Is this a preference thing or a different kit thing? Last thing, can you plug that water heater? Ive been eyeballing my turkey temperature stick thingy and lifespan's rough. although Fun its a bit inconsistent because Im always running tap water.

[@streetzaway7556]

Thanks! I just leave the stabilizer in the water, I don't think the temperature matters that much. As for the wash water, yea I used to use a turkey temperature thing but I got so used to the feel of 38 Celsius, that I just don't by hand now

Nice video! How many times would you reuse the developer, bleach and fixer normally?

[@thevalleyofdisappointment]

great content. Peace and prosperity my brother

[@mxarc]

Awesome, liked and subscribed One comment bellow said that the developing times doesn't change, but I read that as your chemicals degrade by use and time you need to reinforce it somehow, where can I find the appropriate times of developing or instructions to overcome that issue?

[@streetzaway7556]

I get my chemicals in China and all the instructions are in Chinese, so I'm unsure of the specifics. But I've always kept to the same times. There might be some differences but I haven't noticed

[@ZEFSHOOTSFILM]

how many seconds do i have to add for every roll i developed? great video btw, thanks 4 sharing

[@Murdog36]

It's all the same, no matter how many rolls you have in the tank, the time stays the same

[@weixu8559]

I found some instruction says that a pre-wash is needed before you start the develop process. But it is not found in your video. Do you think it is necessary?

[@streetzaway7556]

You can do a pre-wash with warm water for sure. It's not necessary but it does rinse off a lot of gunk.

[@Aisjam]

Cheers for the video, I just upgraded as flexicolor kits are easier to get in Australia. With your 1l bottle of developer, how many rolls do you get? and do you extend the developer time over how many rolls you developed? Kodak says not to reuse the developer and i cant find any info on reusing it by others. was going to work with the Tetenal extension time with the developer and see how that goes.

[@streetzaway7556]

I'm getting 20 plus rolls out of the 1 litre. I'm literally changing it just to be safe😂. I've always kept the same time. I usually change when I notice a big colour change, it gets darker over time. I haven't been replenishing it, just making a new litre each time.

[@Aisjam]

@@streetzaway7556 cheers for that. Ill keep that in mind, currently done 7 rolls with my 2 ltr bottles and my plan was 30 rolls per 2 ltr. ill check the color difference after the batch is done.

[@Ev02566]

Great video! i have not bleach, can i replace with something else?

[@streetzaway7556]

Try source a different bleach for C-41 development. But I really don't know

[@jeffyong762]

how many times can you use these 1L kit before you mixing a new batches of chemical?

[@streetzaway7556]

I'm getting about 30 rolls of film

[@nineteen76]

@@streetzaway7556 30 rolls each 1L batch you make up?

[@streetzaway7556]

That's me being lazy and really pushing it. The Kodak guidelines are very strict, they recommend 4 rolls of 120 per batch. But I'm developing about 15 rolls with no major difference between the first and the last rolls

[@streetzaway7556]

Really up to yourself how much you want to try but I haven't been disappointed yet

[@platinumporkchop776]

Hey great video! But i wonder did the agitation time and interval is your improvisation or is it the standard given already? Because the truth is i dont know about it and i just keep inversing my tank and it really tired me up actually😅

[@streetzaway7556]

Hey Jessica, the agitation times are from Kodak themselves. I used the agitation stick so it doesn't get removed from the water tank. I know black and white shooters love to do inversions but I haven't seen any difference using the agitation stick. Give your arms a rest 😂

[@platinumporkchop776]

@@streetzaway7556 great! Thank you so much😄

[@erwinlota2843]

Hi Streetz Away, Thanks for the video. Quick question though, can't find the one your using the Timer C41(Beta), did you created it? And if so how? That's personalized timing yeah?

[@streetzaway7556]

The app is called 'Dev It' but I got it on the Google play store. If you are using iPhone, you could try searching, developer timer

[@JHuntPhotography0]

New Is part A, B, and C included in the Kodak 5L Flexicolor LU Developer Replenisher?

[@streetzaway7556]

It should be, check with the supplier first

[@craftedcine]

Is there a replenish rate for each film? And if yes in which quantity ? Also for starter? Thanks !

[@Ryguycraig]

Hey friend! Do you ever notice metallic (I assume silver) on your negatives when using this method of c41 (flexicolor) followed all the steps and did 3 rolls just fine. Second set of three had speckles of shiny metallic when I flashed a light at them after drying

[@streetzaway7556]

No man, a bit unusual. Did you use distilled water for the chemicals? Or is there a water problem in your area that could affect the wash?

[@vaneaauzeac4401]

How many films can process with 1 liter of chemistry

[@streetzaway7556]

Im getting about 20-30

[@Goriza]

thanks

[@commandermegatron5469]

oh thanks ，its really hard to find a 37c temperature control in taobao，hope you enjoy your life in china

[@streetzaway7556]

Search: Sous Vide. It's a water heater for cooking food, works great

[@NoviSavvy]

As long as I know color developing stops just after you get stop/bleach in so I think you actually pushed your film a little bit

[@streetzaway7556]

Yea, you have to be quick getting the next bottle of chemicals in, but developer is still removed at 3:15

[@NoviSavvy]

@@streetzaway7556 developer is still in the emulsion and it still works growing dyes. Not for long actually but it is a good thing to get a stop or a bleach at 3:15 not just to get the developer out. As long as I know though

[@harshdeepdayal5190]

From where we can buy this kit

[@streetzaway7556]

I live in China, so I'm buying it here but check eBay or local film photography stores

[@leonardzelwin5529]

Mi película quedó opaca y luego se volvió negra, aunque seguí todos los pasos correctamente y los químicos eran nuevos.

[@Murdog36]

What film did you use?

[@leonardzelwin5529]

kodak ultra 400 y fujicolor 100 (expired)

[@streetzaway7556]

No idea bro. Usually that means a problem with the camera. Try a different camera and see again. If it's the same, ask for a refund
