I have just seen a question on another forum asking if it is possible to cross process a C41 black and white film.

i.e. Ilford XP2 in E6.

Has anyone tried this?



Steve.
 
Hi Steve,
Yes you can get respectable results. Tends to be high contrast, like most cross processing.
Attached is XP2 in Tetenal E6
Best wishes
Dave

A few years ago I did it with Kodak's chromogenic b&w film. It needed to be over exposed by a good many stops (at least 4 if I recall correctly) and produced a beautiful cyan tinted slide that was projectable. I also tried lowering the pull and increasing the development, but the highlights went pink.
 
And an example of the cyan tint
