I would like to see the results of contact printing as intended when you get around to it.
I did a color test of 3383 in daylight, filtered through a pack of Yellow 8, 85B, and a piece of cleared c-41 film base and developed C-41. The results are what you'd expect shooting hand-held bulb exposure macro on a windy day, but a direct reversal of the negatives yields close to lifelike color, maybe even a touch too warm. Film speed didn't seem to be impacted by filtering as much as I thought it would, but confirming that would take something a bit more scientific.

Edit: and a more carefully adjusted single frame from above. The yellow 8 filter definitely isn't needed. The amount of warming for more accurate color rendering is probably somewhere between a regular 85 and the 85b+C-41 base combo depending on cloud cover / season / daylight color temperature.

Most folks would probably be better off with Vision3 and an ND filter but maybe developing in CD-2 will boost it's appeal as a slide.
Next I'll try contact printing c-41 & ecn-2 negatives directly onto the 3383 and process in C-41. The film base plus an incandescent light source seems just about the right color temperature. So far, I'm convinced that the only way to get a fully analog positive image out of this stock is to start with a negative, as designed.
I finally shot a roll @ 6iso using a Nikon f100. Results were underexposed, even with an orange filter was very blue, nearly no colour.
Will try again giving it 2 more stops and see how it is.
Looks nice with lights, can get a nice jade green with fluorescent lights and reds and pinks stand out.
How are you colour correcting?
You shot a roll of the ISO 3 film, but rated it at ISO 6, then added an orange filter?
That would make it at least 1 stop underexposed (assuming your camera compensates for the orange filter).
I color correct with negativelabpro when I convert. Any of the predominantly blue images I have shown are not color corrected.
6 iso was what was on the box. F100 has TTL metering.
Also probably didn't develop long enough for the temp I was using.
Also Also I wasn't sure the bulk loader was defective or not.
Also Also Also, I just bought a non working F100 and it was my first test run.
Have capacity to do around 15 more rolls before chemistry and film is completely exhausted. Plenty of scope to fix some user errors.
Also Also Also Also am going to try my hand at colour printing where I will make many more errors.
Hopefully I will end up with a few pretty colour pictures to hang on the wall.

Looks pretty awful, unless you like the way it looks.
Tell me that you sent this as a Christmas Card!
