#rem jet

If you havent heard that Kodak 500t is being sold and rebranded as "Cinestill" Where have you been? The main difference between kodak 500t and Cinestill is kodak 500t comes with a layer called REM Jet which is a black layer over the film making the negatives impossible to see. Cinestill remove the rem jet using their special process before selling.

However its really expensive coming in at an average of £9 per roll... I mean i dont think thats over expensive for a film but there is a cheaper option. 

Kodak 500t it's easy enough to find online and reasonably priced for the amount you get, I bought a 200ft roll i'm pretty sure i spent £50 and in 200ft you can get roughly 36 rolls... I got my roll pretty cheap so it pays to shop around...

So as previously mentioned Kodak 500t Has the special REM Jet layer if you are getting into using 500t your pretty much gonna have to develop it yourself however the film can be easily processed in C-41 chemistry kits to remove the rem jet there is one key ingredient...

Thats right Soda Crystals just like in my caffenol tutorial soda has yet another amazing and practical photography use!

1 tsp of soda to 300ml heat to 38 degrees the same tempreture as your c-41 chemistry on constant agitation for 5 mins after fix before stabiliser will make the rem jet simply wash off of the film ran under hot water.

This step also works for processing Kodachrome as a B&W film.
