Well, my trip to Asia is just about done. I fly back to the US tomorrow, carrying all of this. Lots of work to do developing and scanning. With 15 rolls of C41, I sure wish I knew how to process that as confidently as I do black and white. That's $150 to develop all that at my local photo shop.

C41 is no more difficult than B&W, Tom. Once you get that first roll outa the way. I will suggest a step that, IIRC, is not usually in the instructions: the pre-soak water? Reserve it and run it thru the tank between the developer and the blix. Makes the blix last longer.

Looks like about 15 rolls of C41? I use the simplest method there is and I've got about 14 rolls from a C41 kit. I'm sure you can squeeze out another roll. They cost about $25. If I can do it anyone can. My color shots in this thread ( and the C41 B&W ) are done by myself. One roll of 120 or 2x35 a day and I scan and resize in the afternoon.
