Product Details
The D6 "DaylightChrome" Slide Film Processing Bundle provides you with everything you need to process your favorite color positive slide film at home. The number of baths for E-6 film is reduced from 6 to 3; a one-shot 1st Developer, a reusable Color&Reversal bath, and a reusable Bleaches&Fixer bath. All of the chemicals in this bundle can also be purchased separately, allowing you to re-stock when you run out of 1st Developer.
BUNDLE INCLUDES
- 1x D6 “DaylightChrome” 1st Developer
- 1x Cr6 “Color&Reversal” 2-in-1 Reusable Slide Solution
- 1x Bf6 “Bleaches&Fixer” 3-in-1 Reusable Slide Solution
D6 “DaylightChrome” Neutral-Tone 5500K 1st Developer
Renders approximately 6+ stops of usable dynamic range* and gorgeous colors, just like full 6-bath Kodak E-6 process. Daylight-balanced 5500K for neutral-tone slides in daylight or with electronic flash. 1000ml stock solution makes 2000ml of single-use working solution (1+1 Dilution) to develop up to 16 rolls or 100ft of slide film. Yields depend on dilution selected and chemical efficiency of your developing tank.
Normal Development: 1+1 Dilution ~ 6 min† @104°F (40°C)
Push +1: Stock Solution ~ 6 min† or 1+1 Dilution ~ 8 min.
Push +2: Stock Solution ~ 8 min†
Pull -1: 1+1 Dilution ~ 4.5 min†
*Times are good starting points. Adjust your temperature control and developing times to achieve desired density.
Cr6 “Color&Reversal” Color Developer & Reversal Bath
The reversal step occurs during color development in our Cr6 “Color&Reversal” bath, which comes in a liquid concentrate to make 1 quart of reusable solution capable of reversing 16+ rolls of developed slide film. Stock > 6min @ 80 -104°F (27-40°C).
Bf6 “Bleaches&Fixer” Pre-Bleach & Blix Bath
The bleach and conditioner steps are combined with the fixing step in our Bf6 “Bleaches&Fixer” bath, which comes in a liquid concentrate to make 1 quart of reusable solution capable of clearing 24+ rolls of slide film. Stock > 6-10min @ 75 -104°F (23-40°C).
† ”Usable dynamic range” is the amount of full stops of exposure value that renders acceptable detail and color. “Total dynamic range” however, is the maximum range containing tonal separation rendering any detail, and is often twice the usable dynamic range. The usable dynamic-range of conventional slide film is between 6-8 stops (total 14-16 stops). Color negative is between 9-13 stops (total 16-21 stops). Digital sensors are mostly between 7-10 stops (total 12-15 stops).
