Cinestill D96 is a powder-based film developer that is well-suited for use with black and white motion picture stocks, as well as other traditional and tabular grain films. It provides a distinct S-curve contrast profile with forgiving highlight control for a unique cine-inspired look. This powder should be mixed to make 1L of stock solution, which can then be diluted 1:1 to make enough stock solution for processing approximately 16 rolls or 100' of 35mm film.

Q: 4. Does this work on X-ray film?

A: CineStill Film does not list x-ray film as compatible. Chances are it can work but it would take experimenting on the process times. This is a link to the films they have tested and the developing times, https://bit.ly/3icoIN7 .

Q: 5. Will it work with both c41 black and white film rolls and regular black and white rolls ?

I have used this exclusively for a while now, and am very pleased with this product. I even develop some of my prints with it, as I like certain photos to have a generously exposed look (see Henry Wessel), and this seems to have been working for me. 5

Quick and Satisfying. This product is a marvel if you're just starting out with developing. The results are excellent, saving both time and money. It's long-lasting, odorless, and colorless. I highly recommend this Monobath to anyone who is beginning their journey in film development. 5

Great for pretty much any type of B&W film. I mostly use it with Kodak Tri-X or Ilford HP 400 5

Developing at home couldn't be any easier! Seriously. This monobath is so forgiving. You can work with a wide range of temperatures, and easily develop at the film rated ASA, or push/pull if needed. I have only used it for 2 film stocks: Ilford HP5 Plus and Kodak Tri-X. Works great for both. One minor complaint is that the chemistry diminishes quickly in just a few weeks. You can adjust your times to compensate some. I'd recommend developing multiple rolls in one go, or within 1-3 weeks. B&H delivers this product promptly, but it doesn't hurt to have an extra bottle on the shelf. 5

I have been a photographer for a long time now, and had never developed my own film. It always seemed like it was too confusing or involved, or took up too much space, so I never tried it. I wanted to start shooting with a 4x5 camera I picked up, and while I was researching the camera, I found this product. I can't speak as to whether this gives the best result of anything out there, but it does work. My B&W negatives came out as well as any I have had processed in the past, so I am quite happy. The solution seems pretty economical in that it says it can be reused for multiple rolls of film, and it is EASY. I just checked the temperature of the solution and followed the directions on the website. Are there better developers out there? Probably, but I've no experience with them. If you want something simple and can't dedicate a lot of room to developing film, I think this is worth a try. 5
