PROCESSING MOTION PICTURE FILM


The developer from any C-41 kit, from any company, should give good results with any color-negative, movie film.  For those who want to mix from scratch, here are some formulas to try:

Distilled water (105F) 800ml 500 ml
Potassium Carbonate (anhydrous) 37.5g -
Sodium Sulfite 4.3g 4.2 g
Potassium Iodide .002g -
Potassium Bromide 1.5g 1.5 g
Anti-fog #1 (0.2% solution) - 20.0 ml
Sodium Carbonate - 33.8 g
Hydroxylamine Sulfate (HAS) 2.0g 2.0 g
Kodak Anti-Cal #3 2.5g -
CD-4 4.8g -
CD-3 - 4.0 g
Water to make 1000ml 1000 ml

The pH of the solution is very important and must be 10.00 (+/- .03) at 80 degrees F.  You may find that you have to vary the Carbonate +/- 50%.
