On the german tetenal website is actually no C-41 consumer kit listed. Panic allowed? Don't know.

Here you can buy all needed raw chemicals for about 50 - 70 Eur and you can develop I guess at least 100 films. A suitable scale with 0.01 g resolution is available for less than 10 Eur at the electronic bay.

Buying raw chemicals is a solution. And it is not impossible to get everything one needs in Poland. But mixing them by myself is just now out of my scope.
I've just managed to get the process right (with Colortec and a Jobo processor), but it takes me more than a year to shoot a dozen of color negatives. I opened my last 1l kit during Christmas time and now the developer is useless. How annoying!

Marta, have you looked at the Unicolor C-41 kits? Both B&H and Freestyle sell them, and the chemistry is dry. I buy the 1L kits and mix up 500mL at a time. It extends the useful life.

Reinhold, I've also bought some CD-4 from Artcraft, and I have a small digital scale. I'll try mixing my own chemistry one day soon...
