As usual there are a lot of conflicting views on the internet about how long C41 chemicals can last. I don't mind buying in bulk but I don't get through a huge amount of film, on average a roll a week and averages about half and half black & white to colour. I would also like to make it as economical as possible though without the chemicals going off.
How long is the real world shelf life of the various chemicals?
Storage? Some people mix up the whole lot from concentrate, squeeze the air out and freeze the developer, does that work?
I may get a better understanding if people were willing to share how they manage their own C41 chemical use/storage?
Also, a lot of my usual online shops are out of the Tetenal kit (I know about the shutdown, reopening etc) where are people getting their chemicals from?
