I just received E6 (5 liter kit) with no "hazmat" handling. Others say they need to ship special. Tina, are you using the Kodak one gallon E6 or the 5 liter? I think you can still buy the one gallon chemicals one chemical at a time, but not as a complete seven chemical kit. At first I did not like the "one-shot" idea behind the new 5 liter kit, but have come to appreciate it for JOBO processing. To stretch chemistry out a bit, I just mix 250ml fresh, then add it to the last-used chemistry (stored in full bottles) to make 600ml (enough to fill a JOBO bottle). If the old chemistry gets over six weeks old, I just toss it and start with all new fresh (600ml) again. Seems to work fine and I don't go thru the whole 5 liter kit so quickly. And back to shipping problems, has anyone tried to buy Ilford P30 (for Cibachrome) 2 liter processing kits lately? It's almost impossible to find, and we keep hearing something about a factory fire. Finally found three kits at Calumet. Regards, Gary Todoroff Tree LUGger - ----- Original Message ----- > As of this week, B&H is shipping E6 again.
