Tetenal E6 1 litre kit. Mixed up half the chemicals into 500ml bottles and poured 270ml for use in the Jobo CPE2. No problems. Three films down. Hope to get 15 total out of the whole kit.

A joy to see the bright colourful trannies!

Nicely done! Looks like you got some great colors.

I did my first few rolls of E6 this year, and it really is a thrill seeing the 'positives' coming out of the tank.

I have a C41 kit that I need to mix up soon and develop a few rolls of that too.
 
"A joy to see the bright colourful trannies!" , but they look like regular blokes to me. Here in San Francisco our trannies are a lot more colorful. :D
 
Well done John,

I think you are now in rarefied air, while the rest of us with only our b&w processing look up in awe.

Cheers,
Michael
 
They turned out very nice and colorful...I remember the first time I did E-6 (many years ago) and they turned out okay but boring...I wasn't used to shooting color so they didn't have much color in them the next rolls were much better...
I'm missing the C-41 challenge but I do have the kit to do them...just gotta mix up the chems and give it a go...I really want to do E-6 again...no printing required...

I know what you mean. I'm enjoying the challenge of 'looking for colour' after so much B/W. The only downside is I can't print them myself.
 
Congratulation, John!
Yes, transparency film is unique, and absolutely awesome.
And self developing of film is often adding lots of joy.

Go on. I wish you lots of wonderful slides in the future.
And don't forget the best of all, the highest, absolutely unsurpassed quality:
Projection with a very good slide projector!

Cheers, Jan

Thanks for the tip Jan. Any suggestions on a good projection set up for the beginner? Value and quality?

yes: Go for the latest models, the most modern ones.
And go for the best lenses.The better the lens, the better the picture on the screen.
Projectors are very cheap nowadays, used and new. Therefore it makes sense to go for the best material. It is more than affordable today.

Congrats John. I still send my E6 out though I am now up to doing C-41 (one step at a time.)

Great choice of subjects btw. :)

Hi John,

well, I am not an expert concerning the supply situation in Australia.
But if you have difficulties to find a good projector and lens, it is worth to have a look at the biggest market for that worldwide:
Germany.
Look at ebay Germany, and for example at

- http://heidifoto.net/technik/
- http://www.rollei-diaprojektor.de/
- http://team-foto.de/
