For a minimum start-up cost, a warm sink, and about an hour of free time, you can start processing your own E-6 film at home. Video by FPP Co-Host Mat Marrash.

The darkroom at my college in Louisiana has pretty much the same layout as this one down to the lock box on the door.

Have you had success with mixed solutions that are more than 2 weeks old? I was wondering how long they last for. Thanks for posting!

Really, only a few seconds after about ten rolls? The kit says to add 4% of additional time to the first developer step after each time processing from the get-go.

@panchoskywalker A thermostatic mixing valve, or constantly running warm water with two thermometers, one on the water bath @ 1-2 degrees over processing temp and one in the chemistry.

Great film but how do you control temperature without a JOBO? Why don't you do video as fun as this one about the whole process...christmas's coming soon.

You should have shown what the film looks like when you first take it out of the tank, I know I was really worried the first time I did E-6 because it comes out looking like you did something really wrong. As you show, it dries just fine. Also, those kits fail miserably when they expire.
