phil_jarrett Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 You'll get a black and white negative. Colour film is black and white. The colour dyes are added into the colour layers later, when the film is processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgar_njari Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Phil, you have described Kodachrome But C41 and E6 doesn't work like that, it already contains color coupler dyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad1 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Try something funny if you want to pull out a color neg using b+w dev in the process... push your film 2 or 3 stops when shooting it and dev with a paper dev first and then use c-41 Fix and after wash and use c-41 bleach. and wash. From now your neg is a b+w film w/ dense base. Then process it in reglar c-41 process. Between those steps, keep totally wet or totally dry the film... Look a the astonishing results!!! For the times, make strip tests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 It will be B&W, but with the yellow filter still in there between the top blue sensitive emulsion layer and the other two layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaviosganzerla Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 MAD MAD, Can you post some samples and explain what happens? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_hicks1 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Dear Brett, The first developer in E6 IS a black and white developer. The second developer (in a 3-bath) chemically fogs what the first dev hasn't developed, then develops it along with a dye image. The bleach/fix removes the silver from both images (1st and 2nd dev) leaving only the dye image from the second dev. What you'll get, therefore, is a B+W neg (WITHOUT an orange mask -- slide films don't have orange masks) but I wouldn't hold out much hope for the tonality and the ISO will almost certainly be different from the colour film ISO. Let us know how it works... Cheers, Roger (www.rogerandfrances.com -- where you might find the Glossary in The Photo School to be useful. Or you might not.)

animal Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 hiya, thanks Roger, i will give it a go (with one film) and see what happens?.Thats what i like about film, its all trial and error and you sometimes get great results, but sometimes poor - thats life! cheers, brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
