Fuji Hunt E6 6-Bath Chemistry

Post by Rod » Fri Nov 22, 2013 9:36 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick query to ask whether anyone has purchased any of the Fuji Hunt E6 chemistry recently. The cheapest UK supplier I've found is Ag Photographic at ~£93+delivery for the 5 litre kit, but I'm wondering if there's anywhere else in the UK? There are at least a couple of Germany companies who surprisingly can deliver cheaper than this to the UK, but these days I guess it's better to support our own retailers while they still exist!

I know the Tetenal 3-bath kit is much cheaper, but I wanted to try the 6-bath version.

Kindest regards,

Rod.

PS Does anyone have any experience with regard to shelf-life of the Fuji Hunt chemistry concentrates - assuming they're kept in full bottles?

I'm using the 3 bath digibase kit, it's ~£40 for a 5L kit and will do 100 rolls of 135/120, 400 4*5 sheets or 100 8X10.

Getting great results in my ATL. It's allegedly based on Fuji Hunt chemistry.

Hi Ben,

Many thanks for the information. That sounds very economical. Where do you get the digibase kit chemistry from? The only digibase kit I can find is C-41 chemistry for negatives, not E6 for slides.

Kindest regards,

Rod.

Oops, good point!

I'm using Tetenal's 5L kit for E6 which is ~65 quid.
