![]() ![]() Exposed at EI800 with an 85B filter for exteriors and processed in C41. The results were very promising, fine grain, nice colours but the halation on highlights was a problem for me. Perhaps the Kodak Vision 3 250D 35mm movie film would be equally as good? I bought some 35mm cassettes that had been loaded from a bulk roll for a trial. The cost of the cassettes was nearly half that of Kodak Portra films, my usual colour neg choice, a handy saving. The films were processed at two different UK labs, one roll was put through ECN2, the others C41, then high res scanned. All the rolls were mostly exposed at box speed for shadow detail at EI250, but I also over and underexposed some negs. The scans from both labs had a mild red cast, which could only be removed by slightly adjusting the red curve using Photoshop. Please note that movie films must go to a lab that can handle Remjet backed films, most labs will refuse, or you can easily process it yourself. Kodak C-41 developer, bleach, fixer and stablizer (or final rinse) all have replenishers. Remjet is a very heavy duty anti-halation backing applied to the movie film to help with the friction caused by the film moving at high speed through a movie camera. Without the word replenisher they can be used immediately without adding anything. But replenisher are used to replenish exhausted working chemicals. For example, C-41 developer replenisher is intended for replenishing exhausted developer. The backing must be removed in a pre-soak bath of baking soda or ECN2 pre-soak chemical. KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals, Process C-41, are for processing all KODAK Color Negative Films such as KODAK GOLD Films, KODAK ULTRA MAX Films, KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA Films, as well as and other manufacturers' films. After soaking the backing sloughs off the film into a sticky mess. They are supplied in all-liquid concentrates for easy mixing, and designed for optimum results in many types of processors. Once the Remjet is off the film, normal machine processing can proceed.

The C41 lab was Exposure Film Lab, the ECN2 lab was Silverpan Film Lab. It became apparent that the speed of EI250 was too high for the film, it does not like underexposure in ECN2. The cathedral interior and person in the train images are very grainy, yet the robot and boat, exposed at EI125 exhibit fine grain. Silbersalz35 in Germany, who are offering a new ECN2 processing service, state that the Vision 3 films should be shot at half the advertised speed. The film tolerates overexposure well, it has a lower contrast and the colour palette is more muted compared to C41 processing. The films also tolerates under and overexposure much better than ECN2. The underexposed images shot look no different from those at EI250. The two photos of the children were exposed at EI400, the canal and van at EI250. The C41 processed film has more contrast but with no detrimental effect and colours are natural. The grain is very fine and the film has high definition. It allows the full EI250 speed and good tolerance for incorrect exposures, it also gave colours that I find more pleasing. That said, if ECN2 processed film is exposed carefully at EI125, the results can be very good if you like softer colours.Īll images were shot on an M6 with 35mm and 50mm lenses.THE VARIOUS COLOR NEGATIVE FILMS AND WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE KODAK C 41 FULL These are emulations*, not scans, so they may not be perfect but are very close to the film stock and normal processing. ![]() ![]() ![]() This sample of film stock was taken from the Amazon inventory. These are the films you can buy today from Amazon. Other outlets may stock additional emulsions, but I wanted to keep it easy. The photo on the right is one of my favorite portraits.īriana and I were out making photos (something we do whenever we can) and I noticed the stick above in sharp focus with her below in exquisite dappled light. The shot on the right is the export of the RAW image. Globally, 70-80 of photography students are women yet they account for only 13-15 of professional photographers. Nothing has been done to it, just a straight conversion and over to this page.īelow is the same image as if it had been shot by these various C-41 films.
