Hello all
I am just wondering where to get some Kodak Photomicrography Colour Film. It uses the old E4 process and look a bit like the attached images.
Does anyone in Europe or the UK have some?
If so, PM me with a good price. Be patient, I do not read my PMs often.
Thanks
Ektachrome:smile:

Did you ever find it? Check Ebay. I bought up all the supply in the UK... Im sorry. 30ish rolls and two bulk cans of the stuff! You can find the development chemicals here in America. Old kodak E2/3 developer works and it works well. I buy the large kits and then weigh the contents and scale them down to disposable 500ml batches to increase the lifetime. You can cold develop it in ECN-2 or C41 possibly but I have failed when I tried it on older films. I recommend the E2/3 stuff, it can be found in small quantities on eBay. The film is old and 16iso, there is a rarer 64iso version that is fucking amazing. ITs called So-456, generally holds up better.

As for shooting it, it can be shot in normal daylight without filters. The colors are very odd, and the blue color will be absent or fog only when underexposed. Overexposed to about 6-3iso it looks about normal but it is easy to completely bake it. In real life, it looks true to color. When scanned it comes out very yellowish, maybe I just have a crap scanner epson 300. (camera scanning might be better?)

check my instagram for a lot of pictures taken on the stuff as well as development times. I opt to use high contrast AN-30 for the first developer. Really all you need to buy is the color developer and all other components can be substituted by modern supplies with minimal effect. I fix throughly before bleaching it because bleaching will ruin the negative releasing heavy blue dyes. Maybe a very diluted bleach might work but the dye couplers are just wacky and I opt to fix then bleach. It works as expected like a regular slide.
