Chemistry

Chemistry for analog photography covers everything you need to process film and photographic paper in a lab or a home darkroom. The category brings together developers, fixer, film development kits and other chemistry from brands such as Ilford, Foma, Bellini, Kodak and Tetenal.

A black-and-white process usually needs a developer, a stop bath and a fixer, while colour negative and slide films are easiest to process with ready-made C-41, E-6 or ECN-2 kits. When choosing chemistry, check whether it is intended for film, paper or both, whether it is a liquid concentrate or a powder, and how much working solution it makes.
