I am thrilled to announce that after eight months of meticulous planning, assembling equipment, and studying chemistry manuals, I have developed my first two rolls of film with Flexicolour C-41RA Process. The results are truly outstanding, showcasing the vibrant and rich colours that only Kodak can deliver. I am deeply grateful for the quality of your products Kodak, which have made these results possible.

This is a link to my document containing hard-won knowledge on how to develop at home using 1 paterson tank, a sous Vide, and a bunch of checmicals known as Kodak Flexicolour RA C-41RA Process.

This link to the main source document from Kodak may also be helpful.

Below is a weird double exposure - what makes it extra weird is the film has been exposed once from one side, then from the other - so one image is inside out. The kitchen is actually the other way around.

.. and below again is another. I may have been using an old Leica copy, a Zorki; either v1 or v4.. might have loaded the film wrong the first time. That would explain why I removed it and started again. Like above, one image is inside out. The steps don't look like that. Grassy Sky! Love how the green is subtly captured; go Kodak.

.. even an underexposed picture of nothing in particular makes you happy because the colours are deep and good.

The first picture 'RideOn' is testing a 3x Olympus teleconverter with an 85mm f2 Zuiko vintage lense - think the body was the Olympus OM40 with its ahead of the time fancy multi point light metering. More to come.
