Vintage Soviet Colour Chemistry ~ New Old Stock

Clearout continues…with a box full of NEW old stock 1970s Soviet Union chemistry that we are offering here for experimentation or display…please read on, it gets better

Dating from the 1970s to the early 1980s these packs are a bit of a barn find. This is a one off, there will be no other like this,

We anticipate that these will appeal to a lot of people, probably those who love Soviet era stuff.

Obviously, due to age we cannot warranty how well they’ll behave so are listed here just for experimenting or just be used to enhance a display.

The previous owner tells us: “Basically original Agfa formulae tweaked or used without change when the tech and know-how was obtained by the Soviet Union at the end of WWII. It’s still great, even after all this time, it works well”

Most, has been previously tested in recent times, some has been tested just now by one of our regulars who’s been pretty amazed at the results!

I’ve scanned all the packaging and subjected the pictures to Google Translate to make life easier for you. I even did the instructions where necessary so please, do take time to regard these before buying.

Legalities: Righty, before any trolls kick off about safety data etc, we are as usual one step ahead of you.

Obviously there cannot be any up to date MSDS etc as such things didn’t exist until recently so, this is older chemistry, please use protective gloves, glasses if you please and use in a well ventilated area. Don’t drink it!!

Disposal: As per any modern MSDS, please seek advice from your local authority.

Vintage Soviet Colour Chemistry

The colour reversal, not sure if it’s a specific process, but there’s only two packs to play with, appears to be a six bath process suited to E6 films. We anticipate that if used and produces results, they’ll be very interesting!

The Orwo C5168 is the same colour negative process as the old classic Agfa / Svema process it will not work cith modern colour films.

We have some suitable films shot ready to try this (on our lovely dev.a for fun) but it’s already been proven to work, offering really delightful results.
