CineStill Cs6 “Creative Slide” D9 Dynamicchrome 3-Bath E-6 Quart Kit

Introduction

The CineStill Cs6 “Creative Slide” D9 Dynamicchrome 3-Bath E-6 Quart Kitisa simplified 3-bath dynamic E-6 kit for processing up to 16 rolls of color reversal film (also known as color slide film) at home.

Slide film is ageless. For years, photographers have loaded it into their cameras and created memories that can be viewed as positive images on strips of film or mounted and projected in all their glory. In 2017 Kodak revived the iconic Ektachrome E100 slide film, reigniting the passion for positive.

The Cs6 “Creative Slide” 3-Bath Process makes complicated chemistry simplified alchemy! The number of processing baths for E-6 film is reduced from 6 to 3.

Features:

• For processing any color reversal/chrome/slide (E-6) film
• Simple 3-bath process with 3 distinct 1st developer choices for changing the color profile of your slides
• Easy to mix 1st Developer concentrate makes 1 liter of stock solution (2 liters of working solution) and can process up to 16 rolls or 100ft of slide film
• Color&Reversal and Bleaches&Fixer liquid concentrates mix easily with water to make 1000ml of reusable solution, capable of processing 16+ and 24+ rolls of film, respectively
• Full color instruction manual included (standard processing, push/pull, etc.)

This kit contains everything you need to get started with the Cs6 “Creative Slide” 3-Bath Process; a 1st Developer, a Color and Reversal bath, and a Bleaches and Fixer bath.

D9 DYNAMICCHROME WARM-TONE DYNAMIC 1ST DEVELOPER
D9 “DynamicChrome” is the worlds most flexible 1st developer for slide film, rendering approximately 9+ stops of usable dynamic range*, compared to approximately 6 stops with conventional E-6 processing (or D6 “DaylightChrome 1st Developer) while maintaining vibrant color-contrast and rich warm-tones with preserved highlight and shadow detail (optimized for scanning) for a more cinematic look. The photographer has the choice between 3 dilutions; dilute 1+1 with water for warm-tone slides with 2+ stops of extended dynamic range, or for further preserved highlight detail and a more neutral color balance dilute 1+2 or 1+3. D9 is perfect for high contrast scenes and is optimized for scanning. 1000ml stock solution makes 2000ml of single-use working solution (1+1 Dilution) to develop up to 16 rolls or 100ft of slide film.

Warm-Tone Development: 1+1 Dilution ~ 9 min. 15 sec. at 104f (40C)
Extended Highlight Latitude: 1+2 Dilution ~ 11 min. at 104f (40C)
Pull -1 (overexposed film): 1+3 Dilution ~ 13 min at 104f (40C)

For push processing we recommend our D6 or T6 1st Developers.

CR6 COLOR & REVERSAL COLOR DEVELOPER & REVERSAL BATH
With the Cs6 process, the reversal step occurs during color development in our Cr6 Color&Reversal bath, which comes in a liquid concentrate to make a 1 quart of reusable solution capable of reversing 16+ rolls of developed slide film. Stock > 6min @ 80 -104F (27-40C).

BF6 BLEACHES&FIXER PRE-BLEACH & BLIX BATH
With the Cs6 process, the bleach and conditioner steps are combined with the fixing step in our Bf6 Bleaches&Fixer bath, which comes in a liquid concentrate to make 1 quart of reusable solution capable of clearing 24+ rolls of slide film. Stock > 6-10min @ 75 -104F (23-40C).

(Processing even more film is as easy as 3-2-1. Bundle the Cs6 Kit with 2 more D9 and an extra Cr6 to process up to 32 rolls.)
