Bellini C-41 Kit, MonoPart, 1 litre

There has been a massive increase in new chemical suppliers for C41 colour negative film in the last year to cope with the renewed and increased interest in colour film.

Bellini is the latest but possibly the best so far. It is slightly different from other kit suppliers in that the developer is diluted at the point of using it and because the bleach and fix are separate components (the bleach even comes ready to use). In fact, because of the way Bellini construct the kit we found it probably one of the easiest to use and recommended for the newcomer to C41 processing at home.

Given the fact that it is an excellent value kit (up to 14 films can be processed) and easy to mix, with a start-to-finish processing time of less than a quarter of an hour, this is the new standard to beat in colour processing kits.
