Which 120 films react most to cross processing?

[ty_ueda]

<p>Hello again.<br>

I'm doing a science fair project on cross processing and would like some advice on films to try for cross processing.<br>

Also, is there a rhyme or reason to why the react the way they do? Like ISO or something like that?<br>

Thanks<br>

<p>They don't make it anymore but if you can find it Kodak VPS neg film processed in E6. Some of the later Kodak Negative films worked too, but not as well as VPS</p>

<p>Well, as always it's a matter of personal taste, but I've always liked the results I get from cross-processing Kodak Portra 160C (C41 film processed as E-6 BTW). I've always thought it had an extreme version of a "70's TV Show" color palate. I don't have them handy, but I'll dig them up and post a couple. </p>

<p>Going the other way, I've x-processed Velvia 100 (E-6 as a C41). I shot it with a Holga to boot, so obviously some very strange results. In this case though, I thought the photos looked a lot cooler as negatives (very sea-green tone) than they did as positives, which gave me a sort of LSD level purple tone when I scanned them. My scanner needed therapy afterwards! =)<img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7081412-md.jpg" alt="Velvia Cross Processed as C41" width="680" height="542" /><br>

^^Velvia cross processed as C41<br>

I admit, I'm curious myself as to what would cause certain colors to become very pronounced when doing this. </p>

<p>Well here's a list of what I'm probably going to buy:</p>

<p>Fuji Provia 100<br>

Fuji provia 400<br>

Kodak ektachrome 100<br>

Fuji astia 100<br>

Fuji Velvia 100 <br>

All processed in c-41.</p>

<p>If I could get a hold of some of that Kodak vps I would but i can't find any.</p>

<p>Try a few other Kodak films if you can. From what I've read, the Kodak slide films give much more interesting results when cross-processed.</p>

<p>The best film to cross process is not made anymore it was AGFA presisa CT 100 it can still be found though it was a Slide film that looks totaly super saturated in a cartoon way when shot at 200 and processed in C-41 Elite Chrome 100 and 200 also look cool 1 stop faster for both.</p>

[ty_ueda]

<p>Ohhh yes! agfa precisa is great! I've shot a roll of 35 with that and it came out great! But sadly, I can only use 120 film for this project and 120 precisa doesn't exist anymore. It's pretty much all gone.</p>

<p>I will try some more Kodak films. I only saw the ektachrome for 120 sooo... any ideas on other kodak 120 slide films?</p>

[willscarlett]

<p>There are a few Kodak slide films in 120 - EPN, EPP, EPR, EPY. There used to be more, but they're discontinued. As far as I know, EPR and EPN, and I think EPY have been discontinued, but you can still find stock. I've cross processed EPP with very good results, my vote is for that.</p>

[hugh_hutcheson]

<p>Kodak EPR was always the best. It uses an older style of emulsion that reacts more strongly than modern ones - over-exposed and push processed gives some great results. Grab it if you can still find stock!</p>
