๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ 5 star review from Steve E.: "CineStill Cs41 Colour Developer"

I've been using Cs41 colour developer for a while now and I can honestly say that for a hassle-free colour developer it does a great job. It's a simple two bath process that produces good colour rendition with fine grain and sharpness and archive quality negatives. Like all colour development chems it is temperature critical, but when you've used it a couple of times it really is straight forward and saves time, especially if you're processing a quite few rolls. The chems are re-usable and there is, in my experience, no degradation in neg quality after several rolls. Like all chems, it's advisable to do a 'dip and dunk' if you suspect the chems are getting weak over time. However, I've developed up to 15 rolls (both 35mm and medium format) with no visible degradation in neg quality. Storage in dark containers is always advisable, keeping them at a constant cool temperature. I would recommend Cs41 as a great alternative to traditional colour film developers.
