Film Ferrania wants to know about the E6 lab you like to use

FILM Ferrania · Dec 2, 2014

Hi APUG!

We're trying to build a database of labs who process E-6 film. Once we get a nice list going, we're going to publish it on our site and keep it updated.

If you've got a favorite lab that you know processes E-6, please take a minute to fill out this form:

(If you own or work at a lab, there are a couple of extra questions that will be super helpful...)

Thanks!

Yay history in the making! Cool!

Sirius Glass · Dec 2, 2014

E6 is good as long as it is not Kodachrome!

Pioneer · Dec 2, 2014

Favorite Lab is included.

Xmas · Dec 2, 2014

The Lomo brick shop off Carnaby St London UK sells E6 eg 110 own brand and acts as a drop off and collect point.

There are actual labs about but dont use any E6 film to be aware of current addresses - too inconvenient now.

Had a 2nd Lomo 8/7 c41 mini lab and shop until July14 but closed and sold lab to local processor as going concern.

For many, home processing might be the way to go - and may be sharing chemicals and equipment among likeminded to improve efficiency...
Cheers, P.

Just thought I would let you know that I Nominated Film Soup for Processing E6 in New Zealand.

Kodachrome was not E-6 process it was K-14 totally different.

As for me I use Praus Productions and mail it to Edgar Praus, top notch kodak certified lab (though for E6 they now use fuji chemistry as kodak ceased production of E6 chemistry.

Highly recommended, does anything from 110 to at least 8x10, dip dunk tanks so any size film will work.

Ferrania want an awful lot of personal info just to tag an E6 lab. The cynic in me says its data for future marketing, with slide processing availability as an add-on.

Off the top of my head, CC Imaging in Leeds, AG Photo's lab in Birmingham and Peak Imaging in Sheffield all offer a good UK service.

Wow, I didn't know 110 slides still existed. I presume they take standard 35mm projector mounts? Do the Lomo shop offer 110 slide mounting?

And the realist in me says, if we want E-6 transparency film to survive they are going to have to successfully market it somehow. What better place to start than with those who are already currently using the last and final remnants of it?

We can all think of at least one other major film manufacturer who decided to stop marketing their film products entirely because they thought they'd never again need to sell them into the new digital photography dominated marketplace. And we all know what happened there.

And we've all pleaded in vain with the current film companies to increase their product visibility via marketing, before their surviving products go extinct.

Well...

Don't know I only bought mono and c41 110 to get some cartridges to reuse.

Last time I used 110 slide was 1981 Kchrome64 and I still have boxes of dinky 110 mounts for dinky slide projector.

You can make similar slides with card and scalpel.

I was going to buy 30m of Foma100r 16mm cine... my enlarger has the carrier for Minolta/Kiev16mm.

Lomo do a 110 carrier for flat bed scanner!

ME Super · Dec 2, 2014

Of course and I know that. It was a pre-emptive strike to prevent yet another meaningless Kodachrome thread.

Does this mean Ferrania are going to start manufacturing E6 film again ?

+1

May I join the "anti Kodachrome-threads" brigade?

In a recent interview the Ferrania boss said E6 production was his aim as there's so little competition.

Yes benjiboy!! We have a 66+ page thread on this forum regarding this item. If tl;dr (too long to read), this is the thread in short:

- Ferrania will start production of E6 films next year
- An extremely succesful kickstarter campaign was made and the backers will get the first batches of film in fancy packaging plus more nice stuff
- Film is ISO 100, daylight, reversal, E6 process, a reengineered emulsion based on IMATION ScotchChrome 100, whose datasheet is available on the net
- They will be able to offer other emulsions on the future, mainly ISO 400 and a pushable ISO 800 film, all E6
- Plus, most likely, an emulsion based on Solaris 100 FG Plus (color negative film)
- Formats, for starters, are 135, 120, 8mm, and 16mm movie film
- They have the ability to manufacture 127, 126 film, and will probably do it
- They want to keep this effort sustainable "for the next 100 years"
- Factory is in Italy, downsized to a reasonable scale of production.
- Original engineers of 3M/Ferrania are working on the project
- Ferrania has presence in APUG as the user "FILMFerrania" who is Dave Bias

also

- we asked for rare film formats and specialist emulsions
- we posted about Kodachrome and blah blah blah K-14 blah blah Nice colors blah blah Paul Simon blah blah blah Afghan Girl it blah blah blah blah Archival stability blah blah blah blah Sharpness blah blah blah blah Complex process blah blah blah blah Dwayne's blah blah blah blah...

Finally

- we generally gave Dave Bias a hard time with a truckload of off topic posts, yet he came back to keep reading and posting nicely and answering all our requests, in the most masochistic way.

This is the thread, in short.

You guys have obviously missed a lot on the film front as of late...

Yes, see the other thread that was created by FILMferrania, E-6 is their first product, in sizes up to 120 for both still and movie film.

Then C-41 to come later.

---------

Also, yes 110 is available by lomography in E-6.

Kodak has also partnered with Lomogrpahy, which is unfortunate because I was hoping FILMferrania would do that and now I'm not sure as it's difficult to think kodak wouldn't want some kind of exclusivity.

That's said, who knows.

Guess all the people who put down lomography and tout kodak is better will have to be quiet now.

Dwayne's Photo is another E-6 lab that's good but only do 120 and 35mm not sheet film. Which is why I use Praus.

Viva Film Ferrania!
