Cross processing Agfa 800

[larrydressler]

Ok People I last cross processed film back in the 70's and it was E-3

not E-4 at that time and it was C-22 not C-41. I Love the grain and

saturation of Agfa Vista 800 and wonder how it would look processed

in E-4? I remember that the ASA/ISO rating was differant from the

posted speed as in faster if I am not mistaken in my old and diverted

mind. Would I rate this at about 1200? and hope for increased grain

even knowing this is "T-grain" film?

i have searched for that info several times.

at personal products companym an 1979, there was someonme in the microscopy dept who did cross-processed title slides

and had the info from a mr crowe at exxon in nj

- that is changes in speed and color, it seemed to be worked out fairly closely.

lately people just seem to be happy with " funky" results.

and say " oh wow" the real photo techs are probably all dead.

I seem to remember that as a rule of thumb rating at 1/4 of the original speed is a decent starting point when cross-processing either way (i.e. shooting ISO 800 at EI 200).

Are you going to process it yourself? I don't know of any labs that process E4 these days.

Yes I will be doing it myself. And no we are not all dead some of us still live in the Dark.
