Sorry for the late reply!

Thanks Oxy!


You really don't need a ECN-2 kit, but you can use a baking soda / water mix to get off the remjet. Let me know what you decide.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a 135 camera... But who knows what the future holds for me!

Thanks, mweintraub!

Don't think I need another thread, so I'm just bumping this again.

Got some film left!

Baking soda and water mix helps remove what wasn't already softened by the dev.

But it's cross processed in c-41, not real ECN-2 process.

Very true, but:
1) how different is it from regular C-41 processing (minus the remjet)?
2) how many labs do you know of that do ANY processing of MP film in still cassettes?

I understand it's very convenient to send the film to a lab and have it developed. Not to mention it's good for the market...

But anyone could (even labs) provide ECN-2 processing, since Kodak published the whole process on their website. That's what I intend on doing with the film I bought from mweintraub. I already got my hands on some of the harder to find chemicals...

Just to be clear: there's no lab that does ECN-2 here in Brazil, be it long runs (cinema) or short ones (cassettes).

While I agree that any lab can do ECN-2, but it's all about $$. They'll need separate machines and chemicals for a whole new process. If there was enough people to send stuff in, then a lab could do it and be profitable. On the opposite side, many labs are stopping their E6 and B&W film processing so adding a new process would be counter-profitable (is that something?).

Maybe all the film I'm selling could make a lab setup ECN-2?

For sure, having an extra processor in a lab to process only a handful of rolls every week is not a good idea, from a business standpoint.

But my point was: anyone that wants motion picture film developed in the right process can do it.

Those that don't care about color shifts can cross-process (or send to a lab that will do it).

Guys, I'm really sorry, I meant $5 OFF! How about you make me an offer and I might take it.
