Morning,
I had an old roll of Max 800 sitting around that was a test roll just to see if the shutter was working properly on an suspect camera. I had some e6 chemistry already warmed so I ran the roll through it for fun. The roll came out in a surreal way with strange two-color in various frames, mostly blues and greens. That said, some images were pure red.
Anyhow, the question is: have I contaminated the e6 chemistry by processing c41 film in it? In hindsight I probably should have done a one-shot but I have a tendency to re-use and increase development/replenish with most of my color chemistry. I seem to recall minilabs back in the day not being happy about being asked to cross process film but I can't recall which way that was- c41 souped in e6 or vice-versa.
Thanks.
