CineStill Cs41 Color Simplified 2-Bath C-41 Powder Kit (24 Rolls)

Love this stuff. It makes developing color C41 film super easy to do at home. Instructions are easy to follow and every roll I’ve developed using these chemicals have came out great. I highly recommend getting a sous vide to regulate the temperature of your chemical solutions when developing.

I do a fair amount of C-41 developing at home. 10-20 rolls per month. I use this in conjunction with the AGO film processor and a sous vide hot water bath to keep my chems up proper temps. I do find that heating the chems to 104-106F helps as the temp drops to 102F rather quickly in my paterson tank as measured by the AGO. I tried another powder C-41 develpor, Arista, and it also worked well, but he instructions took a bit more deciphering than the Cinestill. So going forward I decided to just stick with this as I know how it works and the results are great. If I do find a review that another developer yields better results I may switch, but I cannot imagine how much better that would be as this is fine for my purposes.

Worked perfect, film came out great

Llegó tal como se describe. Lo probé siguiendo las Instrucciones y logré revelar mi primer rollo fotográfico a color.

I have used multiple C-41 kits (Arista, Unicolor, Cinestill) across both 120 and 135(35mm) formats and as far as powered kits go this two-bath kit from Cinestill seems to be the best. Mixes quite well and easily as long as you follow the instructions. Modern films generally have no need for a stabilizer bath although if it was included with this kit I would still use it. However, I have encountered no short terms issues/complaints from not using the stabilizer. I've included a random selection of photos developed over time using this particular kit. Images are a combination of Portra 400/160 and Ektar 100.

Cinestill's CS-41 development kit is an industry standard and a great product. However, this product here is complete rubbish. Check for Amazon product code B08HS657C4 and do NOT buy this. It's a single plastic bag, very light weight, with zero - and I mean - zero components of the development kit. Absolutely disgraceful to mis-advertise it. Do NOT buy this product.

The photos came out great and it was simple and easy to use

Easy to use
