Description
Cinestill DF96 Monobath simplifies black and white film development with an easy, single-step process. Designed for photographers who want consistent, archival-quality results without the hassle of multiple chemicals, DF96 combines developer and fixer in one ready-to-use solution. No dilution, no stop bath, and no separate fixer needed.
DF96 works with nearly all black and white film types and delivers smooth grain, rich tonal depth, and reliable image quality similar to classic D96 developer. It processes film in as little as three minutes at room temperature and supports push or pull development by adjusting temperature. Tabular grain films like Kodak T-Max and Ilford Delta are also compatible, requiring extended processing to fully clear the stain.
Each 1-liter bottle processes at least 16 rolls of film and offers a shelf life of roughly one year. DF96 is the ideal choice for streamlined home darkroom setups, efficient workflows, and photographers wanting professional results with minimal effort.
