Seperate C-41 Bleach and Fixer kits you can even re-generate around 4-6 months so there is no real problem in keeping the C-41 chemicals till 1/2 year. However developing in small batches of 2x 135-36 or 2x 120 roll film is an optimum.

I use Kodak 5219 500T for color photography. It has to Pre Bath before C-41 so the lab can not do this. I develop it at home. After PB to remove the carbon  It will be standerd C-41 and it's easier than BW processing. Only the developer need 37.8°C and it just cost 3:15. Others can be processed in room tempreture. So do it yourself and you will be more careful than any lab on street.

Thanks for your advice.

For preserving products longer, I work before at 18°C but now at 30°C

and the result is fine. In addition you can purchase a "fish" aquarium resistance easier.

My experience of 2 years

Just go to our thread to see some pictures I developed at this temp.

Welcome to the forum.

 

What do you use in the pre-bath to remove the base/remjet?

You can buy complete kits in Ukraine for developing these type of Color Cine films. So far my stock of Superia 100 C-41 (512 pcs.) from the Fuji freezer is slowly going down. Eur. 1,79 for a 135-24 Fuji Superia 100 C-41 film. And that is the actual sales price for one film.
