For Sale FS: (1) roll Ektachrome Infrared EIR 35mm 36exp 10/1998 dated *frozen*

[DanielStone]

Dug this out of the freezer the other day, and have kept it in the fridge until it sells.

10/1998 dated
I can't guarantee anything, but here's a chance to shoot a much-sought-after emulsion that's no longer made(heck, no ektachrome at all now !)

$85 shipped/Paypal'd in the USA
int'l shipping is available, but prepare your wallet.

Expensive you say... for a single roll of film? Yes, yes it is. But you'll pay more on ebay than I'm asking here.

cheers,
Dan

It's fun stuff. I shot a roll last November in Mexico. Easy enough to use, too. You can just meter through the lens. An orange filter is advisable.

My last roll I shot of this was E-4 and when processed as E-6 it came out blank.

What's AR-5?

 

[EdSawyer]

AR-5 is mostly compatible with E6.

I know it says mostly... But what's the difference? I've never even heard of that process...

I believe that the AR-5 process was designed for AERIAL films, and that it allowed for the full range of the IR spectrum to be "developed" out vs E-6, which yielded a more poppy, fun-to-look-at color scheme.

IIRC, the AR-5 process also included a hardener step before the 1st developer. I've never run anything through it, but that's what I've assembled from various online searches over the years.

Oh that makes sense, thanks Dan!
