Does anybody know of an E-6 process as simple as the old Barfen one? If so, where can I get some as I'm itching to get back into processing my own colour films. Also, does anybody remember Aeroprint cans that used to be used for reversal prints? I had a fair degree of success with this in the 70's, apart from a few rather strange colours when the reversal exposure also included flourescent light (Original Pink Rhino!!!!)

Try Tetenal E6. I don't use E6 but the supplier I get my C41 chemistry from does stock it. Tetenal is cracking good quality. I believe a 1lt Kit (1st dev, 2nd dev + bleach fix & stabiliser) is about £25 and will do about 10 films. Roughly the same processing times as Barfen (Yes I remember it as well)
The web address of the supplier is www.firstcallphotographic.co.uk
Their mail order is generally next day service.
Have fun

E-6 is a lot simpler to process than people think. Tetenal is probably the best consumer kit on the market for E-6, although I haven't used it in a long time. Advice would be to just keep the English part of the instructions, because the other twenty languages makes the booklet a bit confusing with the gloves on and fifteen seconds left in the dev! I think Paterson did one, but unsure if you can still get that anymore.
Speaking of Barfen, we had some old Barfen E-4 in recently. I doubt you could call a film a name like that anymore, with the American slang meaning what it does. Speaking of which, we had a roll of "Gaytime 120" film in last month... Those were the (innocent) days...!

Barfen, now it does show my age as well. The Barfen E6 material was Fuji. I also used to sell a private label film and was very pleased when Amateur Photographer found my film of better quality than Barfen
