Adox C-TEC E-6 First Developer (FD) - Makes 1L

Adox C-TEC E-6 First Developer is a standalone replacement component for the Adox C-TEC E-6 3-bath kit. It is useful if the original first developer has been mixed incorrectly, spilled or otherwise lost, allowing you to continue using the remaining parts of your kit.

This bottle contains 200ml of concentrate, which makes 1 litre of working solution. The first developer is an essential part of the E-6 process and is designed for use with the Adox C-TEC E-6 system.

Why We Like It

This is a practical spare component for anyone using the Adox C-TEC E-6 kit. Rather than replacing the whole kit if something goes wrong during mixing, you can simply replace the first developer and avoid wasting the remaining chemistry.

Sophia W. ★★★★★

Bought this as a standalone replacement since I only needed the first developer from my E-6 kit, and the 1L yield is perfect for my Paterson tank. Mixed it up in about ten minutes with no clumping, and my slide film came out with clean, neutral highlights. Slightly pricier than I'd like for a single

Sofia K. ★★★★★

I've been running C-41 at home for years, but this specific first developer finally lets me tackle E-6 without buying a whole new kit. It mixed up crystal clear and gave my test roll of slide film that classic punchy contrast I was after.

Amelia F. ★★★★★

Batch mixing slide film at home used to mean eyeballing the first developer and hoping for the best, but this powder dissolves so cleanly into a full liter that my E-6 times stay rock solid from roll to roll. The concentrate keeps for months in a dark bottle, so I can do a couple of rolls every week
