c41 development, no stopper?

[AshleyC]

Just about to dev some rolls I took in the Lakes last weekend and the instructions for the chems dont mention a stop bath. Is that right? they do mention you might want to use one if re-using the chems but other than that, no mention in the main development timetable. So just before i potentially b****r up all my rolls, is it ok not to use a stopper?

This is for Portra 400 using the c41 kit from firstcall.

I use the Tetanal C41 kit and its Dev / Blix / Stabilise... no stopper.

I've always done dev, blix and then stab. With a quick rinse between blix and stab. That's following the instructions in the Tetenal kits I've used, I haven't used the Firstcall one

Same here. I use the Rollei/Digibase kit and it's Dev-->Bleach-->Wash-->Fix-->Wash-->Stabiliser. The Bleach or blix acts to stop development.
