    Hi all, im looking at getting a few students to shoot make pinhole cameras and using aload of out of date colour film i have lieing around. Ideally id like to get them to process it aswell. I have to facilities to process b/w film and was wondering is there much difference involved re: the chemicals and so on? or am i better off dropping the film into a lab?
    thanks

    If you are in Dublin, Gunns on Wexford Street have the chemistry you need in stock.

    Not the other day they didn't, when my wife schlepped all the way up with the sprogs in tow :) dunno when they're getting it back in (the fuji hunt 5l kit), so it might be good to give them a buzz to confirm before you drop in.

    So was I, that's the C-41 kit I normally get from gunnes, the 5L fuji hunt kit. My wife was up there the other day and they were sold out. I though Fajitas was responsible at first but apparently not ...

    Sorry again ;) thought you meant the Fuji Hunt E6 kit. I was in there last Thursday and they had one or two Rollei Digibase C41 kits but maybe they sold out before your wife got there.

    Yeah I think John was trying to sell them to my wife. I said not to get them. They're just re-badged fuji hunt chemistry anyway, and I'd no idea what specifically they were, 1L / 5L, blix kits or what. I didn't really have time to talk and the kids were getting antsy :-)

    Yeah I was looking at them on ag-photographic before. Something about them doesn't quite add up. Plus those ridiculous testimonials ...

    Developed in a Jobo CPE2 in the best C41 chemistry i ever have seen, Rollei Digibase from Macodirect. I really mean this,
    i have never, ever before in my life seen a C41 negative without small pink spots and streaks.

    :rolleyes:
