Please answer this question only if you have something useful to add.
While buying a C-41 kit for $16 from B&H may be a viable option in
the U.S., here it is impossible. Not only would I have to ship it
via surface mail (2-3 months by boat), but the post office just added
a $10 customs fee (plus taxes and other fees) to receive any package
from outside of Israel.
To recap, I have a lot of APS C-41 Kodak color negative film of
dubious quality, a bunch of cheap APS cameras and want to carry
one around for snapshots.
Doing a lot of web searching, I've found out how to open and remove the
film from the cartridge. I've found the specs on the film, and think
that I can convert a Paterson reel to the proper spacing without
preventing it from being useable for normal (35mm) film.
I've found several web pages with examples of prints from XP-2 and
similar film developed in Rodinal, and comments about developing
color film the same way, but absolutely no specifications.
I happen to have Rodinal, getting other developers may be near
impossible at the moment.
If you have any information about dilution and development time,
I would appreciate it. For me the best temperature would be 75F, the
outside temperature went from the low 60's to the mid 70's in the
last week.
Thanks,
Geoff.
