This is what my Fujichrome 400D looked like:

oh okay, that could be a possibility too… although i stored provia 100 s with these ektachrome too. and i thought provia is more sensitive.

any suggestions - is this colour shift due to eXpired film or could it be something i did wrong in the developing process? The film I was using was eXpired provia 50f. I processed it with AdoX e6 kit with a fresh batch of chemistry. In a patterson tank following the recommended timing/process.

I have to process another roll from the same batch and was wondering if I could do something in the developing process…

eXpired provia 50f

How old is that film? I'm not familiar with 'Provia 50f'. I know the Provia series, but have only worked with the 100 and 400 speed versions. I also have used Velvia 100f. And there's of course, Velvia 50, without -f.
In any case, I'd suspect a processing problem more so than film expiration to be the cause of the massive color shift, lack of dmax etc.

sorry, you are right, this is velvia 50. How could i fiX this development issue? Will pushing it in the development process help?

For me it looks like a heavily expired or hot stored film. Compare with my expired Ektachrome of unknown age.
