>>3889500>>3889630Tried it when the place I shop from ran out of Fuji and Tetenal kits.
Works fine.
I didn't try devving at lower temp with the extended times they give, but given it works fine at normal temp, I doubt it will work great at low temps. In fact I haven't seen a single kit work great at low temps. Only mentioning this in case you get tempted to dev at room temp.
It's almost as easy as B&W, as long as you bring it up to temp. That's the only time consuming and fussy part. B&W is very easy to control temp, either by time compensation (close enough, and no colour casts of course). Or by diluting half and half with water, i.e. say your dev temp is 16ºC and you want to dev at 20ºC, if you mix with water at 24ºC (open tap and hold thermometer under it while you slowly adjust the tap temp, when at 24ºC put some in a beaker), it will be right on the spot or close enough.
With colour, you need to bring it to temp, or actually a bit higher if you don't keep the dev tank in a water bath, cause the temp will drop during development.
Also you gotta be more precise with agitation and times.
Lastly, mix all the chemistry at once., and then you can split it in bottles or whatever.
Once the small plastic bottles it comes in are opened and the seal broken, they unmixed concentrates will go bad really quickly, especially since the bottles are not airtight in the least.
