Wonderful! It is great to hear that you have had luck processing it this way. Since I currently have c41 chems, and 5246 film free from the school, I'll go ahead and put in the time to give it a try. I just didn't want to waste the supplies and the hours if I was just going to get a mess.

Thank you everyone.

 

Larry, which films do not have the rem-jet backing? I see that the kodak intermediate films don't and that print films don't either (I have a feeling these are the same types of film..?)

 

Thanks again

This is my first time posting. I did search around, and I hope I am not asking

the same question twice.

 

I am a still photographer only (to date), and in the last month or two I have

been shooting 16mm plus-x loaded into a 4"X5" view camera. The results give me

an image broken up into 6 slivers of 16mm film which have near 4x5 quality w/ an

"artistic" edge to them.

 

I recently showed my idea to a film professor at school, and he suggested that I

use 5246 250D for color prints. The problem I have seen is the difference

between ECN-2 versus C-41 processing, and that it is very hard to find ECN-2

chemicals in small quantities if at all.

 

Since I am cutting the 16mm film into 5 inch strips, I think it will be hard to

find a processor willing to do it for me. I would be pressed to use up 150 feet

this semester! What I am wondering is if there is anyway I can develop it with

c-41 here at school by tweaking one or any of the steps. Or, if there is a lab

which might sell small quantities of chems to me. If it was processed c-41, how

would it turn out, if at all?

 

Thanks for any help or suggestions, I really appreciate it. This project could

truly benefit from some color prints.
