Old Super 8 Film processed E6 and cross processed ECN-2

[dachund]

Hi, Where can I acquire super 8 perforated magnetic tape,also known as "fullcoat" for my S8sound tape recorder ?

@dachund hi, sorry for the late reply. i don't check youtube very much anymore. i'm not sure where you can get that. they don't make them anymore. We used to make full coat by cutting it down from 35mm stock, just like the way we make many of our stocks.

I have a cartridge of EM-26 Type G, if I want to get it processed in E-6 do I just send it to a lab telling them to do so, or is there another way?

I don't know how old it is, or for how long it was kept frozen (it's frozen now, and I remember it had been frozen years ago, but it was found recently out of the freezer) and that worries me as far as what it would yield due to the age and poor storage conditions.

@randytomaz you can send the film to the lab and ask them to cross process it. just make sure you send it to a lab that can actually do that or is willing to because cross processing is not very good for their chemicals (so they have to do it separately). it would also cost a bit more since it isn't a normal processing technique. i've shot some really old film with cool results...try shooting yours

I have three rolls of Never Used Super 8 Ektachrome 160 Type G but expired in Dec. 1979. I do not know if results are going to be good on processing E-6? I am not sure where was this film was stored in freezer or not. I brought it from flea market last summer.

@NDC1969 not sure either. you never really know til you shoot and process it. but i've shot some really old film before and images did come out. they just look a little grittier and have artifacts everywhere

It seems like EM-26 films have better results in E-6, than EM-25. This is my result of expired 3M Colormovie 40 EM-25 film processed in E-6: /watch?v=XoUeYkMnjS4

I think I will buy some of these old EM-26 films.

@Hujerpictures looks pretty cool. One of our employees is doing some experimenting with caffenol (using coffee and vitamin c) and motion picture stock for some experimental photography. cross processing can be a lot of fun!

@pro8mm May I know exactly which stock did you use here? I've been looking for Kodak Ektachrome 160 EM-26 film, but there are more types of this stock. I found some Type A and Type G expired in the 80's. Do you know what is the difference between them? Do you think that this one could be good for results like yours? bit . ly / bCBk0P

@Hujerpictures We had a bunch of old Kodak Type A Ektachrome 160 in stock (now gone because we sold them off on ebay) that we used for this. Type A is balanced for tungsten while Type G was intended for filter-free shooting in daylight or tungsten. The stock we used had an expiration date of 1996. We've processed much older film before with cool effects. You might get great results processing that old film!

thanks.

[rubix71]

was there an anti-halation backing on this film? looks cool......thanks

[pro8mm]

@rubix71 No. I don't remember any Ekt film using REM backing except for the Fuji Stocks.
