Works great. [...] It would've been better if there were instructions, none were included. Otherwise a great product and I plan to purchase a few times a year.It takes time to get set up. Here's what I did.Color chemistry is temperature sensitive so I decided plastic drums were bad. Plastic is an insulator. Some chemical reactions make or dissipate heat so I wanted a container that was made of a conductor. I bought a steel daylight container and steel film reel. Then I decided the chemicals should also not be in plastic because I didn't want to wait around for two hours while all the temperatures equalized, so I bought pint mason jars. Glass is a conductor and when full to the bottom of the neck they hold the 425ml that the steel 120 daylight container needs to cover the reel.I calculated the chemical amounts for 425ml. I had some large syringes around from another project. I bought black plastic tubing to go on the syringes instead of needles so I could reach the bottom of the bottles. (the syringes are big and don't fit into the bottles) Using water and a graduated cylinder I calibrated the syringes by putting a sticker where the chemical needed to be to get the right amount for each chemical. One chemical needs to be filled to the sticker twice so I noted that on the syringe too. Each syringe is used for only one chemical and goes in its own sandwich bag when its not being used. I got a cheap water pump at a pet store and put the pump and jars in a plastic tub. I use hot water off an induction hot plate. I use tap water for the bath but filtered for the rest. Everything maintains temperature very well. The glass and steel are also easier to keep clean in my opinion.

With a Jobo unit and the single use e-6 kit, developing slides is a breeze. I use slides extensively in the classroom and this kit saves me a lot of money. My only suggestion is to make sure to squirt a little inert gas into the containers to drive off the oxygen so the chemicals stay fresh.

This is a great product, very easy to use once you have the temps up to where they need to be, the first developer is the most crucial for time and temp. I already had a jobo processor so most of my initial cost was taken care of. great product at a great price. I figure with this kit, i can process for around [$] a roll compared to a lab (which the nearest to me is about 100 miles away) which charges about [$] a roll. also it seems like I get just as good results. I wouldnt recommend using this product without some kind of processing machine because of the high temp the chemicals call for.

Spent lots of money on digital cameras only to find that the large format 4x5 with film is the only way to capture fine art images or complex scenery and detail. The digitals pixelate the small details and this is acceptable to most but not for all. Each medium has its place, but in the world of fine art photography and fine art reproduction the traditional films still have their place.

Works extremely well, convenient, met all expectations. One of the bottles does not pour well (the glass one, with the rounded lip), so you'll need a dropper. Exellent results, though.

I've been processing E6 at home for close to 15 years. I started with 3 step hobby kits and then got a Jobo CPE2 with lift. From then one, I've used Kodak's E6 chemistry. The older gallon kits failed to state the quantities of the individual components, and usually required a pH adjustment for proper color balance. However, the older kits were strong enough to develop the rated number of rolls in the Jobo tanks.

The old gallon kits are no longer available, replaced with this new single use 1 gallon or 5 liter kits, depending on location. I use the 1 gallon kits now for over a year. The individual component quantities are given, along with mixing instructions for a variety of different amounts.

After some initial problems with refrigeration and resultant precipitation from the first developer, I have had nothing but excellent results. The latest formulation seems to have addressed some of the cold storage precipitation problems.

I mix the required amount and then put argon from a welding tank into the remaining containers, and refrigerate the first developer and color developers. They seem to keep a good long time, with results still okay on test strips for over a year.

The only shortcoming, is that this formulation is a bit weak for the Jobo tanks. To meet the Kodak guidelines, I either process four rolls in a five roll tank with the larger quantity of developer, or do 7 rolls in an 8 roll tank (not recommended by Jobo for the CPE2, but it works for me).

The film always seems to curl unless dried rather hot, but that is not unique to this product.

Have used it on several occasions and have had great results
