Cinestill Cs41 C-41 Color Negative Film Liquid Developing Kit (to Make 32 oz)

Finally got around to mixing this kit and the liquid concentrates blended together much easier than the powder kits I've used before. The included stabilizer step is a nice time-saver, and my first roll came out with consistent colors across the whole strip.

I was nervous about trying home C-41 development, but this liquid kit made it surprisingly foolproof. The six-bath sequence is clearly labeled, and I got perfectly clean negatives on my first try with just a sous vide for temperature control.

The temperature stability is noticeably better than with powder kits I've tried, and the liquid concentrates mix instantly without any clumps. I processed four rolls of Portra 400 yesterday and the colors came out perfectly balanced with no color crossover at all.
