You can mix products in the fixers as long as you test to insure that there is no retained silver or hypo. B&W fixers are generally not suitable for color materials. " Color fixer is indeed ok for all films and papers. You dont need flexicolor fixer, any black-white fixer will do (but might require some more time). The bleach when mixed lasts extremly long.

The developer replenisher keeps very well when mixed in airtight bottles (I tried 2 years, it worked well). It's my hope that if there are people out there looking to move from using the C-41 press kits with blix to using Kodak Flexicolor (less contrasty developer, separate bleach and fix), that they'd find this page useful: I've been working for many months to get my Flexicolor at home method down pat and documented. Let’s shoot it, keeping it alive and kicking 🙂. Reversal film is a unique photographic medium with unique advantages and characteristics. And when the contrast in the scene seems too high, it is easy to manage the high contrast by using either fill-in flash (works excellently), or a fill-in reflector, or a neutral gradual filter (very well-proven method in landscape photography), a polarizer, or by using pre-exposure / pre-flashing. But it is big and sufficient enough for about 95% of the scenes.

Concerning dynamic range: Yes, it is lower than negative film.

As most scanners (except real drum scanners with photomultipliers) are emphasizing grain by scanner noise you benefit from the finer grain of reversal films in the scan process.

Just look at the original slide and you know how the scan has to look (impossible with color negative film, our brain cannot convert the colors precisely).

With reversal film, you always have a color reference, which makes scanning much easier.

In comparison color, negative film is designed for prints only, so much fewer choices. You can make optical prints on BW direct positive paper. You can scan it and make excellent prints on silver-halide photo paper. You can project it for unsurpassed image quality at almost no cost.

For smaller magnification, you can use a slide viewer or a slide loupe on a light table (outstanding quality with an excellent slide loupe, much better than any (scanned) image on a computer monitor). You already have a finished picture with the developed film, so you only need to hold it against the light to enjoy them. Better versatility and flexibility with reversal film: many more ways to use and enjoy it.The costs of slide projection are negligible Slide projection is also much much cheaper than digital projection. Digital projection cannot compete at all because of the extremely low resolution of digital projectors (much much lower than slide projectors), worse colors, and no depth/flatness of the pictures. Slide projection gives you an absolutely unsurpassed image quality (resolution, sharpness, color brilliance, depth/3D-effect) at big magnification factors.Reversal film not only offers finer grain but also significantly higher resolution and better sharpness.They state that “…reversal / transparency/slide film has been the preferred film type by professionals and enthusiasts for decades. From our Facebook wall, Let’s shoot slide film again makes a case for E6 Slide film, and present some good points.
