"COLOR FILM PROCESSING MADE EASY"

The °Cs "Temperature Control System" TCS-1000 immersion circulator/thermostat is is the simplest solution for precision film processing at home. Whether you are developing black and white, color negative, or slide film, this system allows you to efficiently and easily mix concentrates and powder chemicals, heat it up to the precise processing temperature, and maintain it during the entire developing session.

Easily mixes and heats chemistry in a 1000ml. pitcher in seconds, without splatter, spill or additional oxidation. Reheat chemistry preserved in the fridge for longer shelf life. 

MAIN FEATURES:

  • Intuitive ready-to-use interface does not require additional timers, downloading phone apps, nor connecting to bluetooth/wifi 

  • Display and firmware preprogrammed to process film with an adjustable two-stage timer for any process (C-41, E-6, B&W, etc.) in Min : Sec

  • Simple toggling between °C/°F readouts 

  • Universal bottle holder holds two 1000ml. storage bottles (collapsible accordion style, Wide-Mouth, JOBO, etc.) in a sink, tub, or basin of your preference

  • PTC heating element, brushless DC motor and moulded polymer impeller

  • Stainless steel housing  

  • Ground protection and temp/water level/overheat protection sensor

According to the Cine Still website This Temperature Control System has quite a few advantages over kitchen appliances that are normally used while developing film at home.

Inspired by affordable kitchen appliances, cooking thermostats and even a foot-spa, which were themselves inspired by costly laboratory tools for scientific thermoregulation, we have now come full circle. An affordable immersion circulator thermostat for home laboratory use.

User-adjustable precise constant temperature control, from 0°C to 95°C (+/-0.1°C), compared to cooking appliances which are only consistent between 45°C to 99°C (film processing ranges between 18°C - 40°C).

Heats, mixes and circulates chemistry or temperature control bath, maintaining consistent accurate temperature (within +/-1°C of user setting) throughout the entire bath (1-20L).

Positive thermal coefficient (PTC) heating element heats/cools quickly and is more stable and durable than standard metal heating tubes, which run too hot and rust. 

Display and firmware designed for processing film, starts up ready to process color film with adjustable two-stage timer for any process (C-41, E-6, Df96 monobath, etc.) in Min : Sec

High efficiency DC brushless motor offers fast speed, low noise, does not give off heat when processing film at lower temperatures, and has a life cycle over 4,000 working hours, 20-30% longer than most kitchen appliances. Combined with moulded impeller has a max circulation capacity of up to 20L.

Ilford Global Film Survey Results 2018

Ilford Global Film Survey Results 2018

Ilford photo reached out to the film photography community in 2018 to take part in their film users survey. The survey was last conducted in 2014 had 2100 participants . This time it had a whopping 6,800 participants from 100 countries from around the world.

Ilford photo says that they have already put the findings to good use and launched the SIMPLICITY  range of film processing sachets as a direct response to the growing trend for home film processing.

The resurgence and growth of film over the past 5 years, has seen 57% of our responders returning to or trying the medium for the first time. When breaking down the demographics, 37.1% of those under 44 were completely new to film with 27.1% returning after an absence. In the 45 and over range, only 3.6% were new to film, 41.9% were returning while 54.5% considered themselves as having always shot film.

As the above graphic shows, the results are quite interesting with 75.9% of the responders saying that they shoot on film for “the asthetics”. What do you think? Take a look at the survey here.
