Can ECN Film be Used for Slides?

How much of that in 70mm do you have? I'm looking to get my hands on some.

How much of that in 70mm do you have? I'm looking to get my hands on some.

2500 feet, 20 pounds in a large metal can.
I can never use all of it during the rest of my life. I bought it just for playing around a bit.
I could send you some 100ft but Australia is far from Europe, so I had to check out shipping cost.
Also I have to check out how to pack it. Maybe I have to buy a tea can or something like that to put it in.
The film is probably fogged a bit by age. So when overdeveloping it, nothing happens except the base becomes grey more and more. This is no problem for doing negatives or contact prints but may be a problem when using it as a camera film for slides E-6. I never tried this but I guess the resulting sildes could be too thin because the FD will eat too much of the density. I haven't tried it as a camera film. If you are interested, please contact me.

Jojo;

When I last worked with coatings of ECP, the product was using emulsions similar to the RA paper but was about 1 stop slower than the paper due to being coated on film support. That is where I got the speed estimate. So, under ideal conditions, I made a guess based solely on the paper. IDK how much you have lost due to keeping, but I know that this product does not keep well if it is similar to what I used to use (and coat).
